Well the time has come. It's been over two years since my miscarriage for our baby girl and she would be two this November. Ben and I have done a lot of thinking over the last couple of years and decided today that it's time to name her. We were planning on saving this name for our next baby girl but it just feels so right. The need for closure is there and some days are better than others when I don't think about her all of the time, but regardless, I do think of her daily. The stages of grief are not set in stone, there is no time limit to my sadness. This has taken some time for me to accept. So for some of you this may seem strange to name her so long after her death...but to us, it's perfect-and necessary. Although I have had more than one miscarriage, this one is near and dear to my heart because I knew the gender. I'm glad I know, but it also makes the pain that much more real. So to our baby girl-we will see you again someday.

Hey I'm going to email you my response to this one. But I will say that you chose such a cute name.
Good for you . Someday you and ben will get the chance, just work hard in this life so you two will have that priviledge in the next. I love her name.
Oh Rachel you are making me tear up. You and Ben will get the chance some day. I know that is one thing that has helped mom cope with her miscarriage that she will get the chance to be the babies mom again. You aren't alone we are here to support you and though most of us dont know what you are going through we all can give a listening ear!
