I have a shelf in our cabinet in which I have all of Noah's things. I put everything in there, his ashes are also in there. I can see it every single day and I love it. I also have an angel candle holder which I light candles in for Noah on special dates & occasions.
This is a link to some pics of what we've got for him - Noah's Stuff
Beata - Noah was born in Feb 2006 at 20w5d (but by my dates, and the dating scan he was 22w1d)... I also had a miscarriage last October... that might be where you got the dates confused. I need to fix my signature up because it doesn't show up too well that the emoticon I have for Noah is actually an angel.
I think the baby with angels wings & the hand painted ball sound so beautiful. I am sorry that your Mum doesn't understand your need to grieve... some people find it really hard to grasp the enormity behind a loss... especially one where they figure that we "didn't really know them" or something equally as upsetting. I haven't spoken to my BIL for 3 years because we lost Noah in Feb, and in April he was telling DH & I to get over Noah... apparently people in his family were tired of us using him as an excuse (we were grieving and didn't want to go to a wedding before we'd collected Noah's ashes... we were too upset)
I thought of all people this BIL would understand a little better seeing that he had 2 children of his own... It hurt like hell. My DH will never forgive his brother for the things he said and because of that, their relationship as brothers will never be the same again.
Maybe you should let you Mum know how you're feeling and that you'll never get over losing your son, and that you'd like her to at least acknowlege where you are in your grief.
