Having a baby is one of the most precious moments for parents. But that joy can turn to sadness in a heart beat, literally. As you know some newborns don't live long enough to make it into their parents' arms. But one organization is helping moms and dads cope with this unimaginable loss.

"It was the best time of my life. I remember every day of it. It was just a blessing to become pregnant," said Amber Havard, Mom.

But things changed for Amber and Mitchel Havard.

"I went into pre-term labor. I had a placental abruption. I don't know what caused it," said Amber.

April 21st, Amber needed an emergency c-section. She gave birth to Ayden, three month premature.

"He was having complications and the doctor asked us if we would continue the treatment. We didn't want to hurt the baby. He was having a brain hemorrhage," said Amber.

Ayden died the next day.

"The first and only time we got to hold him was after he had passed, while we were having the photos taken," said Mitchel Havard.

Mitchel is talking about pictures taken by a photographer who volunteers with the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization. Professional photographers capture the only memories parents will have of such a bittersweet time.

"These pictures help me remember holding him, touching him, kissing him, seeing his little hands, and seeing his beautiful face," said Amber.

"It was the one time I got to hold my son. I have photos that I can look back on that time," said Mitchel.

April Saleeby says she wishes this service had been available eight years ago. She was six months pregnant when she found out her son Zachary would only have days to live after he was born.

"We weren't preparing to bring him home. We were preparing him to go home and be with the Lord," said April Saleeby, Mom.

Zachary died three days after he was born. All April and her family have are these pictures from a disposable camera.

"We remember what it was like to hold him. We remember the way his skin smelled," said Saleeby.

April got involved with Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, to help other parents deal with the loss of a newborn.

"There's much more support that's needed for grieving parents. But to provide a visual memory of their child certainly aids in that healing process," said Saleeby.

Pictures that have helped the Havards heal.

"Those photos let me keep every moment I ever had with him forever," said Mitchel.

"Without the pictures you start to forget. This program is incredible to provide pictures because in that situation, it never would have crossed our mind," said Amber.

The professional photographers take pictures for the parents for FREE.

"Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" is a national organization that's been in the Augusta area for three years.
