Happy Birthday Toby! You'd be 7 today but I know everything happens for a reason. Usually I lose track of what day it is but every year, Jan 9 stares me in the face every time I open a phone today or see a calendar all month long. My birthday is in 9 days but it's always hard to think of my birthday until your day is done. We still love and always talk about you.
Mommy, Daddy, Taylor, Sam, Aaron, Lucas, and Jacob.

Still thinking of our Toby regularly. I doubt we will ever get over the fact he isn't here, no matter how many children we're blessed with. We definitely have our hands full with our babies on Earth but our hearts and our brains will always know one is missing. It is a comfort to some degree having his ashes so there is some physical reference to him being accounted for with us. Every year on Jan 9 (the day he was birthed still) I bake a treat so the kids will remember their brother.

Getting through January was hard as well this year, but we are blessed to say we were pregnant again with another baby boy sent to us from Heaven who arrived in March 2017 (Toby was due March 2016). We are thankful for our new little baby, Aaron, who is now just over 3 months old. We really appreciate all the support everyone gave when we lost our little Toby. We think of him all the time, but still count the blessings we have and he is a reminder not to take the children we have for granted.
We will always carry him in our hearts and when we tell people we have 3 children to avoid memories, awkward well-meaning condolences, and for the sake of simplicity, we know that we really have 4. It's just one's not on Earth with us. <3

Hastings must have changed the website so only the written condolences show now. Thank you to my friend Grace and others who lit a candle for my baby boy. We think of him everyday and he has changed how we look at the world indefinitely.

Thank you everyone for posting and please come back and post as you remember.
Little Toby,
About 2 weeks ago, you were spread at your grand-pap's cabin and now you're seeing the beach and the ocean since today. Of course, the biggest portion of you remains at home. I hope you are able to go between as you like and travel with us as we go. If you're being raised by deceased loved ones in heaven, we hope they'll teach you of us and let you visit. If you stay a baby forever, when we get there, we'll be happy to finally get to be parents to you. Either way, we look forward to meeting you after we raise these babies on Earth that are already and will be here. Bless us with some more siblings for you, if not you, yourself but by a different name.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy, Sissy and Bubby.

I am so sorry for your loss. The death of a love one can be extremely difficult to cope with. Many have found comfort in the many promises found in God's word the bible. Acts 24:15 has special meaning for many. There it speaks about the resurrection. By means of the resurrection our loving Creator, Jehovah God, will restore life back to those sleeping in death as promised (Titus1:2). Please embrace this wonderful promise of God during this difficult time.

Dear Toby,
I love you little man!! I wish you could have spent a long lived life with your family but God wasn't ready to let you go. You're an angel among a much bigger family now who will love you no matter what. You will be missed!!! I'm praying God looks over your first family and blesses them with another brother or sister for your siblings. I'll see you one day buddy just know we love you!!
Forever and always, fly high little Toby.

Toby,
I know things happen for a reason. I hope you know how much you are loved now and when you were in mommy's tummy. I hope you enjoy dancing with the angels, and playing in the clouds. May you always be happy. May you always look down and be with daddy, mommy, Taylor, and Sam. I know it's a very hard thing to lose a child at any age. I wish you understanding during this time. Greif is handled different from every situation. Our live for you is never changing. We love you Toby. May you always have peace.
Love, Uncle Jamie, Aunt Ashley and family.

Our little Toby was born Jan 9, 2016 due to a knot in his cord. I had an appointment on Jan 5 and he was just fine, looking at the monitor, strong heartbeat. I went to the ER Jan 8 due to no movement, unable to convince myself any longer that he wasn't in a good position to feel him (as he'd been before but not for that long). They couldn't find a heartbeat with the Doppler or the monitor. My doctor came in for an ultrasound that showed his heart had stopped. She couldn't figure out why. The anatomy scan to confirm the death showed he'd actually been gone for days, possibly the night of my appointment or the day after. I delivered him via my first c-section because he was breech and stuck where he had been laying. He was born silent at 11:51 am, weighing 4lbs 11oz.
I wasn't going to see him, but decided to the night of his birth before he went to the morgue. He was perfect for being almost 30 weeks gestation and resembled his brother. There were no problems except a knot pulled tight in the cord. He was exactly what we wanted. A baby boy that would have been only 2 years apart from his brother. We will always remember him, love him, and want him. This is something that cannot be undone in our hearts and our lives. No other child can replace a lost child, they just simply aren't the same person. I feel losing a child the cruelest thing to ever have to go through, no matter what age and no matter if you have other children or not. They are your children from the very first moment.
We love you Toby and hope you are happy wherever you are or may go. I wish you could have held on just 8-10 more weeks so I could have taken you home safely.
Toby has 2 living siblings. Taylor Lynn who is 5 years old and Sam Harvey who is almost 2 years old. Taylor still has days where she asks when her brother is coming home and pretends he is still in my belly. Other days she says he's gone and we will get another baby. Sam is too young to remember, thankfully, that Mommy had a baby in her tummy, and has not tried to see my tummy since I got home from the hospital.
Please say something below for our son. I hope none of you have to experience this type of pain that has changed us forever.
