We were not prepared for what the doctors told us. I could feel a lump coming up in my throat, and the smiles that were on our faces quickly turned to worried looks and our eyes began to fill up with tears. I immediatly went thru so many emotions at once. I was so hurt and angry! I did't know why this was happening to us! NO, not us! My life has never been easy, I already had my share of grief, how could God put this on me, I know I'm not strong enough for this! Is it something I did, during this prgnancy? My husband's family health history was full of heart disease, is he to blame? What does this mean? Where is the doctor? Why are we in this room by ourselves all of a sudden? What's going on???
Finally, a half an hour later, a nurse came in and told us to call and confirm our appointment with UVA hospital. I then had to wash my face, and walk the walk of shame thru the lobby of a waiting room full of happy expecting mothers who seemed to stare at me as I walked as fast as I could out the front door, obvisiouly upset trying to hide under the hood of my jacket as much as possible. My husband behind me, trying to explain to my mother that we would explain everything in the car. My son there. My world will never be the same!

It's A Girl!
On the day of Friday, Feb 4th 2011, my husband and I were so giddy going to my routine ultrasound appointment. This would be the first time we would hear whether or not we were having a boy or girl. Of corse, my husband was set on having another boy. Me, on the other hand, knew that I was carrying a precious baby girl ( I just knew). We made our bets and was off to see who was right, and who would have to suck it up. We both agreed, however, that no matter what, as long as he/she was healthy, that we would be happy!!
In came the doctor, and we started to see images of our child that we never could before. Her little hands, feet, head, and profile made us smile so much that we just melted looking at what God created for us.And finally, with a peep in between the legs, she announced "it looks like a girl!" Pictures were then given to us and we stared at them as we were told to wait for another doctor to come and have a look. It never dawned on us that something could be wrong, we were too caught up in the moment to worry.
Then came the other doctor. He introduced himself and began to explain that the previous doctor had seen what she thought to only be 2 heart chambers in our daughter's heart.
