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.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your son Henry Thomas. Such a great name! It is so heartbreaking when you learn your child does not have a heartbeat. My husband and I lost our first son in June due to a cord accident they believe occurred when my labor started. We were the same - so happy and excited knowing my labor had started thinking we would finally be meeting our son only to learn 4 hours later when my contractions were closer and they told us to come into the hospital that he was gone when they could not find his heart beat. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Thinking of you and sending so many hugs your way.
