Is my miscarried baby in Heaven?

[pocketwater]

I had a miscarriage after 11 weeks of being pregnant. My husband & I had not attended the Baptism class required in our parish to have the baby baptized but planned on attending the next class. (there is one class every 4 months or so). Was the baby baptized with the intent of baptism?
