Bailey's Blankies

The Story of Our Granddaughter Bailey Spring Pope

As told by her mom Julie,

On October 3rd, 2024 our second born daughter, Bailey Spring, was born with her soul already in the arms of Jesus at 38 weeks with no explanation. The night before, we walked into the hospital hoping the lack of movement was just her preparing for labor, only to get the most devastating news anyone could get. A few hours later we finally got to hold the most beautiful angel we’d ever seen. She had a head full of hair, blue eyes, giant hands, and we will long for her every day until we see her again.

Because we thought we might be going into labor, we were thankfully prepared with beautiful blankets not only to take photos with, but to bring home later as a piece of her. To have something that touched her body, some sort of proof she was real. Our hope for Bailey’s Blankies is to provide that same treasure to families who might not have came as prepared, who didn’t know how their trip was going to end.

Our goal is to raise funds to provide these special gifts to hospitals far and wide. Each gift includes a blankie and a matching hat or headband, based on the mother’s choice. Whether you know us personally, are an A Great Baby customer, or discovered us through these blankies, we believe you share our love for babies. We hope you’ll join us in bringing comfort to families grieving the loss of a tiny, perfect life.


Thank you in advance, from the bottom of our hearts
Julie & Robert Pope
