I have had 3 grandchildren born and each time they had to stay, the baby’s each got a blanket and cap to match from their cuddlier, please and thank you in advance

    I love to make preemie, micro preemie and smaller without directions. I sent a note asking if the little ones were too small. I’m eager to make your smallest angel baby.

    My daughter had a very early miscarriage, second pregnancy. They didn’t know how to refer to the baby. I suggested angel baby without knowledge of use of that term.

    She went on to have 2 more boys for a total of 3.
