Who is Amelie?

"That's where I told him I found out about Amelie. Not tonight. Not now. Amelie was over. Was she, though? Was she really? I had to admit I was not sure. But for now, I did not want to know. I did not want to see. There was going to be a new baby" (Rosnay 101). Julia has brought up this person-Amelie- a few times now. I am beginning to wonder if Amelie is a baby that she had lost in the past. She mentions in the chapter prior to this that she was pregnant five years ago, after two miscarriages. She says it had been a nightmare. The baby was growing outside the womb and then died. She had to undergo an operation and had her one ovary removed. Maybe she named the baby Amelie before she discovered that it had died, maybe thats why Julia is so upset when she mentions Amelie.
