Here's our story...

Brandon and I found out we were expecting November of 2022. We were so excited to embark on this journey with our other two children, Chloe and Landon. Knox was our rainbow after going through a loss in 2016. He was our tie-breaker, will the boys rule the house or will it be the girls? Everyone was so excited to welcome another sweet baby into the family. I was excited too, but did not fully embrace it until I was about 3 months. I was so worried about losing this baby too. 

Everything was quite perfect with this pregnancy and there were never any red flags. I was considered high risk so we had weekly appointments after 32 weeks. We scheduled our c-section for July 28th. At our 37 week biophysical and non stress test he passed all of his little tests and we left feeling excited knowing that we would soon be holding our boy. 

On July 22nd I remember waking up and not feeling as much movement. He was normally pretty active, especially in the morning. We went to work and I had a snack and some ice cold water to see if I could get him to move a bit. After not getting any reaction like I normally would I called the doctor and they suggested that I come in. When we got to the hospital I was checked in and told that it should only take an hour or two and then we would be on our way. The nurse hooked me up to the fetal monitor. She moved her hand around searching for his heartbeat and then asked me where they usually find it. I showed her where but knew there was something wrong. She could see the fear in my face and said she was going to get the ultrasound tech and doctor. The doctor came in and started searching for his heartbeat only to find nothing. She turned to me and said " I'm sorry, there is no longer a heartbeat." Knox was gone. That day was the worst day of my life and it plays over and over in my head. I would do anything to change it. Knox was born July 22nd sleeping. 4 days after our last appoinment and 6 days before our scheduled c-section. Nothing could be seen that was of concern and all tests came back inconclusive. The biggest question is why? The hardest thing is knowing we will never have an answer. 

We were so ready to bring our boy home and he will always be loved. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about you Knox. 

Here's why we are raising funds... To Honor Knox Henley and all families impacted by the loss of a child.
