His name is Noah

I just love it Noah...Noah, Noah, Noah. I just want to say it all the time and for other people to say it. When we were looking for a name for our son, knowing he was dead and waiting for him to be born. We went back over our reasonably long list and so many were not suitable. "It has to be soft and gentle sounding" I said and the meaning "has to be appropriate" Something meaning fierce warrior would not be right for this little guy. So we would say names out loud and then look them up in not 1 but 2 different baby name books - as the name meanings can sometimes vary...rather strangely sometimes. So Noah it was discovered means peaceful and restful and wow it blew us away...that was it. How more appropriate could you get for a little baby that would be born without a sound. Just sleeping...as they say. But not sleeping - dead.

I am sorry for your loss.
I have an 8 year old boy and no other babies - not for lack of trying.

Hi Ange, I found your blog via Amy's blog. I am so sorry you have to be here, that you don't have Noah. His name is beautiful. I lost my son just a couple days before you lost Noah. I never would have thought, at the time, my immense grief would be shared by anyone. This deadbaby cyber coffee house has surely taught me different. Again, my deepest, most heartfelt sympathies.

Noah is a lovely name. I love hearing these babies names...even though I never knew them, hearing about them or even just their name, makes them so vivid and real. Our babies, however long they were here, WERE here...

I'm so terribly sorry that you don't have Noah with you. I'm walking with you, as well, Ange...
