Amy, Caleb and Asher and baby cooper

"In September of 2020, my wife and I found out she was pregnant with our second child. Being that our first son was only six months old we were a little scared, but very excited. Amy was able to see our second child at her first ultrasound early November. The baby had a strong heartbeat and was doing well. Early December we found out we were having another little boy and could not be more excited. Asher was going to have a little brother. Amy had a prenatal appointment earlier in the month and Cooper was still doing well. On December 25th Amy felt Cooper kick for the first time. It was the best Christmas gift. Come the end of the month, on December 30th Amy went in for another prenatal appointment. The nurses were having a hard time finding Cooper's heartbeat, so they took her in to get an ultrasound. That is when she was told Cooper had no heartbeat. The following day Amy and I went to the hospital to deliver Cooper. At 2:19pm Amy delivered Cooper and we got to spend time holding him and telling him how much we love him. A couple weeks later we found out that the placenta was starting to detach, which was the most likely cause of Cooper's death. There will always be a hole in our hearts of what was supposed to be, but we know that Cooper is where he is supposed to be- with Jesus"

Mallory, Jeremy and baby Camilla Grace

“My husband, Jeremy, and I tried for seven years to have a baby. We never thought that day would come. On January 26, 2021, we found out we were expecting. Our due date was set for September 13, 2021. We were so excited. All of our dreams of having a family just came true. We spent the next few months getting ready for her arrival. We picked out her name: Camilla Grace Cox. My birthday was May 15th. I woke up, walked to the bathroom, and my water broke. I immediately began praying, but God had other plans. I was rushed to the hospital. Six days later, on May 21st, 2021, Camilla Grace made her entry into the world at 3:36am. Sleeping. She was beautiful. She was perfect. She was too perfect for this world. She weighed 11oz. She was 11 3/4 inches long. She was the smallest baby I had ever seen. Our hearts will never be the same. Our lives are forever changed. No one should ever feel the pain of loosing a child. I buried my daughter on May 26. “

Catherine, Connor, Jack and Baby Henry

“In December of 2020, we found out that our son had a chromosomal condition. After further testing, it was determined that Henry had a large deletion on his 7th chromosome. There was no registered deletion that was the same as our baby boy’s. This meant a lot of uncertainty for us as parents: developmental delays, heart conditions, limb deformities, etc. Henry ultimately had to be born early because he was no longer growing in the womb. We knew he would likely not be strong enough to survive, but we were able to meet him and give him a lifetime of love in just a few hours. We will always love and remember our son, Henry, and are incredibly thankful for the Blakelyn Foundation during this time of sadness and heartbreak for our family.
