My baby's name

Benaiah Malachi is the name of our baby.  Ben.  Yes, a boy.  I thought that from the beginning.  I had read that you should name your lost baby and I thought this was a good idea.  I could refer to him with a name to the kids, rather than saying, "you know, the baby that died".  I can say his name to them.  We haven't told them his name yet, not ready to.  I will.

I also bought a little charm to put on my pandora bracelette that has all the kid's birthstones on it.  I wanted something different and small to represent him.  So I picked out a round spacer with daisies on it.  Jon gave me daisies during my miscarriage, purple ones.  So the daisy charm, seemed just right.

His name and meaning:

Benaiah (Ben-ay-yah) Hebrew. Meaning-made by the Lord, or the Lord's child.  I picked it for the meaning.

Malachi- Hebrew.  Meaning- Messenger of God, angel. I picked it for the meaning.

So, he has a name, a Biblical one, which is fitting.

I keep going.
