I knew our unborn child was a girl. I honestly had hoped for a boy because of all the clothes and things we already had from Jasper. But I knew in my heart that she was a she.
We got the results from the chromosome testing. It confirmed that my gut feeling was correct and it was a girl. Surprisingly though our little one did not have any chromosome abnormalities. This is good news as it was really just a fluke. Not something that Josh or I were passing along. We named her Grace Marie.
It’s good to have the testing back. One more step towards closure… Eventually the medical bills will all be paid and the only reminder I’ll have everyday is the necklace hanging around my neck and the emotional scar forever etched on my heart.
Oh Kimberly. Love the name and that you were able to find out the sex of this child. I had wondered if you would ever know. So glad you will always be able to think of Grace Marie as you reflect on her, your necklace and each time your heart remembers.
Kimberly, I’m so glad that you were able to give your angel a name. I know Grace will always be with you, loving and protecting you.
Kimberly,
You won’t believe this, but that name is the name I was looking at to name our baby if it’s a girl. I’ve always liked the name Grace and my middle name is Marie so I wanted to pass the middle name along. I guess we’ll find out in Oct what baby will be. It is a beautiful name.
dear kimberly..
i am so grateful to discover your blog today. i too lost a baby recently. i’m striving to cope day by day. i miscarried at 16 weeks and my doctor had me ‘let nature take it’s course’. what a horrible thing to experience. i keep wishing it was a nightmare and i could wake up and still be pregnant with my little angel. it’s okay to be sad, to grieve and to think of our little ones with tears in our eyes. this will make us stronger. day by day. i’ll be praying for you. xo. marta
