Amy

My parents had planned on naming me Hannah until they saw me once I was born. I was very high risk, being one of the first babies in my area to be born using a new kind of hormonal therapy for my mom to be able to keep the pregnancy after three losses. I was a week late and so small, not even four and a half pounds. The nurse said that I needed a small name that wouldn’t overwhelm such a small baby. So, my parents decided once I was born to name me Amy.
