Keeping the memory alive. What do you do?

 My husband and I lost our son Jan 10, 2009 when I was 22 weeks pregnant. Since this was going to be our first Christmas as a family, we decided to pull a little boy off the angel tree that would be around Hudson's age (11 months come December) and buy some of the presents for that little boy that we probably would have bought for Hudson.

Another thing we are going to do is putt $500 away in a high interest savings account and give the money away as a scholarship in Hudson's name the year he would have graduated from High School.

For Mother's Day this year, my husband bought me a stackable mother's ring with Hudson's birthstone. The ring is pretty thin, so when we have more children, I can get their birthstones to stack on Hudson's.

What are someone the things you have done or want to do to keep the memory of your baby alive?
