What Abby`s say about their name
  1. The best thing about the name Abby:
    Two years ago, I lost a baby in the womb at 35 weeks. I know the anxiety of hainvg to deliver a baby who is not perfect. We never knew what caused our baby's death, only God knows. The baby, a boy, was fully formed and looked perfect in every way. The heartache and trauma of this loss were huge. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to experience in my life. I am so happy for you that, in spite of the odds, you are getting to develop a relationship with your daughter. There is no price that can be put on that. When I held my lifeless baby, fresh from the womb, I was heartsick at the thought I'd never hear him cry or make little baby noises. I would never get to see him with his eyes open. I would never get to know him and who God created him to be. So, do cherish, cherish, cherish every living, breathing moment with your daughter. Even if the days are few, they are invaluable. You are doing the right thing by taking lots of photos. When our baby was born, the hospital provided a photographer to us free of charge. It was awkward hainvg this stranger in the room with us taking photos of our blue, floppy baby. However, the treasure of photographs he gifted us with is priceless. I keep a small album of them in my purse and pull it out anytime I want to. I was so afraid I'd forget our sweet son's face, but now I never will. God's very best to your family and your sweet precious gift.
