Introduction

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself and tell my story.
My name is Kelsey and I am 24 years old. My Husband and I have been pregnant twice and both ended in losses. Our first loss was at five weeks and our second loss was our son at 20 weeks.
On December 19th my husband and I had our anatomy scan and we were so excited! Little did I know my life would literally be turned upside down that day.
At our anatomy scan we found out our sweet innocent baby had slowed down in growth and had little to no amniotic fluid left. Our doctor prepared us for the worst and sent us on our way. We set up an appointment for about two weeks later for another checkup ultra sound to see if we maybe we're blessed with a miracle but we weren't.
On December 31, 2014 I was sent to labor and delivery and I was induced. At 9:15pm Hunter James Kraft was born stillborn. Weighing 8.5 ounces and measuring at 7.5 inches! He was perfect to us in every way and had the cutest little button nose and such tiny little toes! We were able to spend the next 12 hours with him and I'm so glad we did. We held him, talked to him, took pictures and just hung out.
The hospital took his footprints and handprints and they are such a special memory. We also got molds of his body, face and feet and they are perfect!
We decided to get Hunter cremated and picked out the perfect urn for our little boy. Saying goodbye at the hospital was just too hard so now we will be able to have us home with us forever.
We miss him so much already and I would give anything to hold him again. I keep looking back at pictures wondering what went wrong with someone who was so innocent and perfect.
