A lady at my parents church had a baby pass away in 2009 because of having to be born too soon because she wasnt developing right. The lady was prepared and brought a blanket to wrap the baby in because she knew she wouldnt be surviving :(. She then heard lots of moms dont know half the time when they end up having babies too early and all they have to wrap the babies in are the hospital recieving blankets. I think the number was 250 babies dont make it in Edmonton a year :( So she decided to make small recieving blankets(18x18) and give them to the hospital so moms can have something nice to wrap their baby in and also have a blanket to take home as a keepsake if they wanted. So the church has joined in helping her make some of these blankets. My mom and I took some and are starting to sew them together.
