Our
story begins March 12 2005. That was the day I found out I was pregnant. I could not believe it, I had a very irregular period,
so I took another test and the line was definitely there. I was nervous to tell my husband, but I did and he was ecstatic.
My first doctors appointment was April 1, 2005. They gave me an ultrasound and I was 7 weeks and 2 days. We had a little
picture of out tiny baby. As the pregnancy went on, everything was fine. At 20 weeks June 19 we went to find out what
our precious baby was we wanted healthy but secretly we both wanted a boy, and a boy it was. He was sleeping so he did
not move a lot, only enough to know that he was fine and he was perfect! Well, that was the last ultrasound I would have and
the last time I would see my child move. July 2 pains began in my lower tummy, and there was slight bloody discharge.
I began paging my doctor at 1 and by 3 I had paged 4 times with no response I was so worried, me and my best friend Renee
left for the ER. We arrived and I was hooked up to a contraction Doppler and a fetal heart Doppler. Everything seemed
fine, they took a urine sample and later said that I had a high white blood cell count and that they were trying to reach
the doctor. A hour or so later the doctor came in said I had a urinary tract infection and discharged me. I was never
cervically checked. After arriving home the pain became unbearable, and I again began paging the is doctor with no response!
I went to the bathroom, and then my water broke, I was so afraid! I knew that my little baby was coming and he would not survive
here. We rushed to the hospital and when we arrived I was soaked in blood waist down. I was hysterical. When the nurse saw
me come in they rushed me into a room and put a fetal monitor on the baby. his beautiful heart sounded so strong. They said
I was 7 1/2 c dilated, a few minutes later my Damion was born. His heartbeat until he enter this world, and he never
took a breath. He was gone, and when his little soul left my body he took the best out of me, and his father.
We held our little baby who was 15 oz a big boy for 21 weeks, and he was perfect! He looked just like his daddy with my lips.
The hardest thing was walking away from that hospital and leaving your child there. They said there was an infection in the
membrane caused by the fact that I may have an incompetent cervix. We buried Damion on the following Wed. The hardest thing
is to have the life taken out of you and put into the ground. We love and Miss our baby boy so much, and we go to where he
was laid to rest every night, and play him the lullaby I used to play for him while he was in my Tummy. We know that our sweet
child is in heaven on the playground with so many other children and we hope to have more children one day. Damion Tate is
our only son, our only child.

To The Child In My Heart
O precious, tiny, sweet little one You will always be to me So perfect, pure, and innocent Just as you were
meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life And all that it would be We waited and longed for you to come And join
our family.
We never had the chance to play, To laugh, to rock, to wiggle. We long to hold you, touch you now And listen
to you giggle.
I'll always be your mother. He'll always be your dad. You will always be our child, The child that we had.
But now you're gone...but yet you're here. We'll sense you everywhere. You are our sorrow and our joy There's
love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong. We'll forget you never - The child we had, but never had, And
yet will have forever.
