but I imagine she blessed you upon leaving this world with a wonderful new little life 
what a great story
They will be sharing the middle name Irene. My grandma always hated her first name, so we chose the middle. Right now it's looking like Bay Irene (still have some convincing to do on the first name with DH)
I can't stop crying all morning thinking about how they will never meet... And how I won't get to call her and tell her about all the things my kids will be learning and doing
yes it is :/ I am hoping her spirit will move and be with this new baby as it grows up. I hope we can all get through this as easily as possible. I am trying not to stress for the babies sake. But I can't help breaking down every hour or so. My grandma was like a second mother to me- she helped raise me since my biological father didn't care about my mother or I. The last few times I have really cried hard I have been holding my son and I swear I felt a few tiny kicks from new baby. I don't think it's gas, but she has been silent for a while so it is a relief. 
or I may just ask her what she wants the middle name to be and let her choose whatever she wants. Either will be amazingly special for me and her.
I can't imagine what y'all are going though. You are SO strong. Tons of good thoughts and vibes coming your way 
It makes me ALMOST brave enough to post mine...almost. But then again, I still don't show AT ALL. Are you more comfortable with the gender? I was pretty disappointed to find out I'm having a boy, but now I can't even imagine anything else. But I have to admit, when we were at the store picking out the first baby purchase, I was obsessed with all the little girly things. They're so cute! There was a teeny tiny pink bathing suit with all kinds of ruffles that I almost bought...good thing hubby was there to stop me.I had a big loss too exactly when we conceived. It's pretty amazing. My grandfather died right around the time I was born and everyone always said I am so much like him. Even though I never knew him, I always felt close to him because of that.
the bond you get is amazing and I wouldn't change it for the whole world having said that, our son was my DHs 3rd boy and I NEED another female in here lol. Even all of our pets are male!! I have a feeling this one is a girl, but to be safe, my DH has had to keep me from buying girly things just yet. Have to wait until the 27th to find out. I thought buying boy clothes wouldn't be as fun but I actually had more fun shopping for cute little man outfits
