It all started on Thursday,
July 3, 2014. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a
beautiful summer day, clear skies, and a nice, very much appreciated breeze
from the close by Santa Monica Pier. As I traveled on foot to my 36-week
checkup and ultrasound, the nurse assigned to me that day gave me a biophysical
profile (ultrasound and non-stress test combined) that was sent via live-feed
to my doctor to view. My baby King opened his hand and closed his hand as if he
was saying, “Hello.” The doctor was astonished. She said that babies at 36
weeks’ gestation usually didn’t have those motor skills yet. She said
everything looked great and made my appointment for the following week. Little
did I know that King was really saying, “Goodbye,” and that would be the last
time I saw him alive. I walked back to the office and stayed until the end of
my modified shift. I gave hugs to everyone since I was starting maternity leave
the next day. On Friday, the 4th of
July, 2014, hubby and the boys went to Bakersfield
for the 4th of July festivities. I stayed home since I was so close to my due
date. Instead of watching fireworks, I rested most of the day and then
attempted to do some online shopping with a ToysRUs® gift card I had received
from my coworkers. I found a cute outfit that had a crown and the wording
“King” on it, and I said this would be so cute since my husband had named our
son King. For some reason, their system was having issues and would not
complete the order. So, I mustered up some energy and took my pregnant self to
Target to get some baby clothes for King. As I was walking around in the store,
I felt King getting heavy and felt that he was finally turned over and engaged
since he was still breech during the ultrasound the previous day. On my way
home, I grabbed some food, arrived home safely, and left the clothes in my
trunk so Cory and the boys could bring them up the next day when they got home.
It was so hot, I had the central air on full-blast trying to cope with the heat
since I was heavily pregnant. Neighbors far off were having fun with their
families setting off fireworks. Cory and our two boys Isaiah and Solomon were
still in Bakersfield having a ball
with the family. Cory and the boys were scheduled to come home from Bakersfield
on the afternoon of July 5, 2014.
Instead, he said he had an urge to come home in the early hours of July 5, 2014 since he knew King Josiah
“KJ” was due soon. He kissed me, letting me know he was there, and I fell back
to sleep.
