I do not speak my babies names out loud, but I have them named in my mind and their memory is tied to those names.

I thought maybe some others would like to share the name(s) they’ve chosen and why?

I have never told anyone but I will share here.

1st - Patience - Patience is tattooed on my wrist, both a name and a reminder to have Patience because the right time will come, Patience because things are not always easy and Patience to wait as long as it takes. Patience by Guns n Roses

2nd - Opal - Birth stone for the due date month of my 6 week loss. Precious and beautiful.

3rd - Hope - 2nd pregnancy in 2 months... Ended very shortly after learning about it, Hope is what I need.

4 - Haven Phoenix - In my heart I felt this baby was a boy, my boy. His heart stopped beating at 12 weeks... I will never know for sure, but Haven, a place of safety, refuge. He will always be with me, I will keep him safe in my heart. Phoenix because this year, with this loss, it makes 3 losses since February, Rising out of the ashes and being born again...
