Welcome To My Memorial Site

It was February 28Th 2008 and I started having contractions around 2 am. My hubby woke up at 6:30 am and asked me why i was not in bed sleeping and  I told him i had been having contractions all night so we called the Dr at about 7:15 am and was told to got to the hospital and when we got there they were hooking me up to the monitors and could not find or babies heart beat. they had five different people looking for it and none could find it they sent upstairs to maternal fetal and they could not find his heart beat either then I went back labor and delivery. my Dr came in and looked and she could not find his heart beat either. So we waited and waited to see what they were going to do and finally they decided to give me an iv and oxytocin to speed up the labor process and within a half an hour our son was delivered stillborn. They asked us if we wanted to hold him and we said yes we had him with us for as long as we could and in the due process calling family and friends to come up and let them say their good byes to him and see him before they took him away to do what they had to with him. The one thing is we should have gotten a birth certificate at least and instead we got a death certificate. I still don't think this is right but I cant do much about it. Me and my hubby spent several days signing papers and arranging his memorial service as we had my insurance pay for the services and the services lasted for almost two hours between the visitation and the services. His obituary and death notice were in the paper and read as follows::::
