Have you or James ever went back and talk to the care-taker that was watching Maddie at the time that your life forever changed? Do you know how she is coping with the entire thing?
and on a more lighter note.... I always think it's interesting to find out who said the magic words 'I love you' first?
When you think about Maddie, do you have a specific memory of her that can guarantee you to always makes you smile? You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
this is the comment i left on your original post; i figured it'd just be easier to copy and paste it than try to remember what i asked. lol. :)
Kellie, i have a question (or i guess i should say a couple of questions) for you: how did you and James meet, how long after you met did you start dating, and how long did you date/were you engaged before you got married? would you say it was "love at first sight" for you/him? my husband and i started dating very soon after we met, and we got married on our one-year dating anniversary. we were both pretty young, too (i was 19 and he was 24 when we married), so we received a lot of criticism from people who thought we were "too young" and getting married "too soon". however, we are both confident that we are the ones God put on this earth for each other, and we have been happily married for over two years now. so anyway, i just like to hear the stories of how couples met and fell in love. continuing to keep you and your family in my prayers. God bless! :)
Hi Kellie, I'm a long time reader, first time poster. Here's my question for you: do you have any idea how many people out there you don't even know keep you, your husband, and your beautiful Maddie in their thoughts? :-)
What is you favorite go to outfit when going on date with your hubs, out with friends or just when you want to wear something cute. I'm in my early 30s and I'm in a funk and would love some inspiration for cute fall clothes that don't make me look like an old fuddy duddy or make me look too young...like 17.
Hi Kelly I adore your blog my one question is what got you into photography and do you have a website? Thanks for you time May you be blessed and loved through out everyday Hailey
Kelly, I pray this question is not inappropriate. I love reading your blog. My question is, Has losing your sweet baby brought you and James 'closer' to God and strengthened your faith? You're always in my prayers.
I follow your blog everyday. But have never left a comment. So today I am. We have learned that my 3 year old son may have adhd. I was wondering if you have ever taught a kid that had it.. and what are some tips to help him learn his abc's & numbers??
YAY for questions!!! I have a couple of questions for you..1. How did you decide to name your daughter Madison Paige? 2. After all the research that you have done, do you think you will do anything different when you have a rainbow baby?? Like will you do mattress wrapping or use an Angel care monitor? 3. I know you are a big planner, so when you and James hit your 5 year or 10 year anniversary how will you celebrate? Anything big??? 4. What does James do for his job? 5. How did you 2 meet? I can't wait to read your answers!
What are some of your favorite things?? Places to eat? Favorite comfort food? Favorite candy bar? Favorite chips? Your drink of choice?
I love your blog!! And dislike those mean people!! Can't wait to keep reading to see what great things God does in ya'lls lives!! Jeremiah 29:11 Dee Walker, La.

Have you spoken to the babysitter? and has Maddie's case been officially closed? How are you and James dealing as a couple? I think of and pray for the both of you often.
Did you ever have that seminar for beginners in photography? I know you were going to meet with like 30 girls that were interested...I'm interested! If yes, how did it go? Or if not, why not?
I started reading your blog when I was still prego but was so drawn to you and your story and just wanted to say thank you for being brave enough to share your story with the world. What a great mommy you are and were. I pray for your family nightly and keep your chin up, mean people exist but, they will have their judgement day. My Question: If in the future, you have another little girl, what will you name her? GOD BLESS YOU!
I'm just dying to know when you are going to make Madi a big sister. I know you aren't necessarily ready yet but I just can't wait to read your journey to your rainbow baby. And all the things you plan to do to make this baby safe and your thoughts about everything. I just wish you all the best and want you to "feel like a mom again" even though you are and always be a mom. I am not one of those people that see it as replacing her. I just wish you some joy brought back into your lives.
I left a question on the other post so i'm coping and paste too !!!
I hope you don't think i am a freak for asking this things !!!
Q:I wonder if you have seen this new show on TLC "Long Island Medium" Plays on Sundays @ 9pm central time. And i want to ask you: If you have the opportunity,would you talk to her to know if she could give you a message from Maddie ? It's pretty touching !!!
and
Q:Do you have pictures of Maddie's funeral that want to share??
I read your blog everyday and I want you to know that you are in my prayers all the time! I do have a few questions and I hope in NO way I offend or upset you! They are just questions I have always had since Maddie got her angel wings. I babysit often and my one main fear is something happening to the baby like what happened to sweet Maddie. I was just wondering if you have spoken to the babysitter since? I also wonder if you have any blame towards her? I cannot imagine how you feel losing a child but coming from a babysitter's point of view, I would be devastated and do not know how I would cope with that. Again, do not want to offend you by asking those questions!!! I have just always thought about that because I babysit alot!
I also want to know when you think y'all will be ready for another sweet baby!?? ;)
Prayers for you and James! Maddie is for sure watching over you!!!
Do you realize how many babies life's you have saved ? I started reading your blog a few weeks after having my first child and if it wasn't for you spreading awareness about SIDS I would have no idea about it. You made me hold my baby a little tighter and take his picture everyday. I also removed his crib bumpers .thank you for being the wonderful person you are :)
Hi Kelli! I remember you mentioning that you took blood thinner shots during your pregnancy, but I don't remember why. You may not want to answer that. I had blood clots in my right leg. Nothing life threatening for shots, but a bit scary for me.
What are the 5 biggest steps you will take when you have another child to prevent Sids?
When will you start trying again?
Will you blog your next pregnancy?
I have never posted but my family and I have been reading since just after you lost Maddie.. As a mom that has lost 2 little girls mid pregnancy and have been trying again for almost four years, i think after i bring home the next baby the least of my worries would have been Sids,thanks for opening my eyes to that. Praying for you and the hubby..
Love you bows and miss seeing them! I wondered if you have ever thought of posting a video blog tutorial? I'm wanting to take a class on hair bows b/c my Mom and I have tried and tried and they never come out like they are supposed to. I would love to see you make a "how to" video. Love your blog, we are Houston neighbors and you continue in my thoughts and prayers :)
No question, just wanted you to know that God is giving you more strength then you know. Praying for you as you answer these questions and countinue to heal everyday!
I saw a new show on TLC about a psychic medium and she did a "group reading" and there was a lady there that had lost her baby girl,(if you believe this sort of thing) I was wondering if you have ever thought of doing something like this?
Warning..this is going to be long, so I'm sorry! First of all, I just want to say you are one STRONG girl! Especially to open up and let all of your followers ask you anything! I am a fairly new follower of yours. I actually came across your blog off of other blogs I have been following for a couple years. My husband and I struggled with infertility and went through IVF and I found some blogs of other girls who were going through the same, and kept in contact. Anyhow, a few weeks ago I noticed their posts about "Remember Maddie", so I clicked on it and found yours. I just want to say I am so terribly sorry for your loss of your beautiful daughter. I know your little angel is with you always. As I have been 'stalking' your blog, I noticed you are friends on here with Kendra from "Living our love song". I swear it's such a small world. I was aware of Kendra's blog almost 2 years ago, just before her little Makenzie passed because I have a friend who is friends with her sister and they were thinking of doing a fundraiser for their family. Kendra lives nearby and I have followed her blog ever since and have contacted her through email and such. It was just so heart warming to me to see that you two found each other on here as you have gone through similar experiences as well. You two are both amazing! Sorry that was long, but I think the whole blog world can be amazing..esp to see how all of us strangers are linked up to one anothers from all over! So I have a couple questions.. 1- Have you felt that blogging has helped a lot with you coping with the loss of your precious baby girl and in what ways? and 2- I also noticed on the top of your blog you have a link of Mormon.org..and I hope this is an appropriate question, but I was wondering if your religion is LDS, as I am LDS myself? Thanks for letting me post that comment and ask you questions! Tracy nandtandbandb.blogspot.com
Hey, ok first you are so strong for still being able to blog about Maddy, it must feel like a big part of you missing. Here are my questions: Do you carry anything around with you that reminds you of Maddy? When you have another child will you tell them of Maddy? When do you talk to Maddy and how often do you do so? How did you become a christian?
I don't think I've commented on your blog, although I've followed it for months. I want to comment on your photo answer. I actually think that buildings DO have a story to tell. My dad told me that I have an eye for street photography (his words). I am not much into taking photos of people (other than my boys); I prefer the derelict buildings so easily found in our town. I only wish I could get on the inside of those buildings sometime!
I forgot to ask this one.. Have you had weird things happen since Maddie died? Like ghostley things where you thought it was her? Just wondering. I dont really believe that stuff but when ceartain people have said it, how can you not believe what they are saying..

This is probably the standard question lol, but how did you and James meet? (Sorry if you've answered this one already!)
When you think about Maddie, do you have a specific memory of her that can guarantee you to always makes you smile?
You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for you time
May you be blessed and loved through out everyday
Hailey
When you have a new baby and its a girl.will you use maddies old stuff? Her room? Clothes? Bedding ect
If they're too personal, just ignore... Saw questions on the other blog that sparked my curiosity too, so I'm repeating them now:
I know it's fresh, but have you had any hidden thoughts about when you might try for another baby?
Have you been in contact with the babysitter at all? (has she tried to reach out to you, etc?)
What would Maddie's name have been if she'd been a boy? (and will you use the boy's name for future children?)
Have you decided yet how you'll celebrate 1 year?
Kelly, I pray this question is not
inappropriate. I love reading your blog. My question is, Has losing your sweet baby brought you and James 'closer' to God and strengthened your faith?
You're always in my prayers.
When do you plan on trying for another baby? Touchy subject I know but im sure others are curious.
I follow your blog everyday. But have never left a comment. So today I am. We have learned that my 3 year old son may have adhd. I was wondering if you have ever taught a kid that had it.. and what are some tips to help him learn his abc's & numbers??

GOD BLESS YOU!
what's the secret to being patient with a classroom full of kiddos?
Hi Friend,
Did have to use fertility to get pregnant with Maddie? If so, do u think it will be needed again?
Do you still avoid Maddie's room or do you go in there now to feel closer to her?
If you had a future little girl, would you still use Maddie's room decor?
You are Always in my Prayers!
I am wondering, have you and James spoken with Maddie's babysitter since her passing?
I'm just dying to know when you are going to make Madi a big sister. I know you aren't necessarily ready yet but I just can't wait to read your journey to your rainbow baby.
