  1. My name is Dana and the doctors thought i might die giving birth or shortly after. I had to mentally prepare for the worst. I wanted my baby girl to have something to remind her everyday that even tho im not here i still love her very much so i decided to give her my name. I did end up getting very sick after my csection and spent almost two weeks in icu. But i made it! And baby Dana came out looking EXACTLY like me! I got my tubes tied after her, she is my 5th girl and i couldnt be mappier with my life, my 5 beautiful girls and naming my baby after myself. <3
