Henry was born February 14, 2011 at 7:15 am. He was born alive but lived only a short while, spending his whole life in the arms of his proud mom and dad. Henry was welcomed by family and friends who held him and loved him with great joy during his brief time with us. He was 5 pounds 12 ounces and 18.5 inches long. Henry has big hands - we had to rip the seams in his sleeves to get his shirt on. He is beautiful with dark blue eyes and a wisp of dark brown hair.
We baptised Henry at birth and he was dedicated to the Christian church by pastor Jeff Cannell.
Henry's big sister Hazel was able to hold him, help give him a proper bath and dress him in his dinosaur clothes. As tragic and terrible as this day was, the peace of God was present. We have many wonderful pictures to remember this day - thanks to Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.
