Late Term and Child Loss

Introduction

My husband and I lost our son, Henry Thomas on Sept. 4, 2014. Our pregnancy was free of complications and I suffered a placental abruption during labor. We went in to the doctor's office excited because labor started and they were going to make sure Henry was fine and see how far along I was. After having difficulty finding his heartbeat using doppler, we went into the ultrasound room which told us he had no heartbeat. His due date was Sept. 2. Words can't describe the pain and anguish we felt in those first few minutes and each day afterwards. It's been 6 and a half weeks since he became an angel but we think about him every minute of every day. He was born sleeping but looked so peaceful and the embodiment of my husband and I: Henry has my nose and chin and my hands; Henry has his father's long torso (he barely fit into 3 month onesie but his legs swam in the pants) and his feet. We spent 22 precious hours with him and the hardest thing of all was tying the bow on his hospital casket.
