Mine was a boy and I named him Daniel. No matter what happened to Daniel in the Bible, God always took care of him and protected him. Cindy

I must agree with the other ladies, I went with a feeling I had. Do not stress over it, do your best to let it go a it, find some quiet time to meditate or whatever you do to become calm and peaceful. It may take a little while, just dont force it. I always thought mine was a boy as well. I feel I had confirmation after my Rachel's Vineyard retreat, it was a mothers day celebration at my church, and they were allowing the mothers to come up and receive a "gift", well as it turned out, the gifts were Rosaries, and I had a fifty fifty chance, because they were handing out the little plastic kiddie ones, and you didn't know which you were getting bc/ they were wrapped, and wouldn't you know I got a blue one, so start looking for the meaning in little things,it will come to you.. Peace and Love, ------------------ Magdelena

stewart SafeHaven Staff Posts: 530 From:Lincolnshire, UK Registered: Nov 2003	posted 08-22-2007 06:08 PM Naming your baby is great step to healing and helps you to acknowledge that your baby existed. i named my daughter on the date she would have been due fours years ago next week. it was a wonderful thing to do and did help me find healing, it also helped me deal with what would have been her due date. we named our baby as a family, took a trip to the coast threw flowers into the sea and named her Alexandra Alex for short. She would have been four years old next week and due to start school (Kindergarten) in September. Mythoughts and prayers are with you and i would actively encourage anyone who is grieving their baby to name them. Love karenxx
Kris Member Posts: 349 From:Caribou Registered: Mar 2006	posted 08-30-2007 09:03 PM Holy Smokes Patty. I just read your comment. I named my child Heather too! And if it was a boy heath.How coincidental is that???? May I ask when your baby would have been due? My due date was Oct 1, 1979. My abortion was March 26,1979. Two days I will never forget. My desk calendar at work is marked with simple black sad faces on those two dates. anyway Sylvia, it helped naming the baby, it gave my child an identity. Something he/she will never have in this world. I believe in my heart of hearts that we will meet again and my child with introduce him/herself to me by name.
