The entire month of March was completely uneventful. We had a normal routine of working and relaxing as much as possible. But it was finally the 31st. it is time to find out what we were having. We got up early that morning to make sure that I was getting enough fluids in my system. Our appointment was at 10am. Finally it was time to go. We headed over and the ultrasound technician came out to get us. She smiled at us and said” let’s find out what your having” she started the process. She told us that she would first have to take some measurements and she would explain everything along the way. There it was that beautiful sound of our baby’s heartbeat. We were watching the monitor and there was our baby laying there sucking on its little thumb. It was adorable. After about 30 minutes of measurements she smiled at us. She said “look at the monitor” we both looked. “She then added” you see that right there? Congratulations you’re going to have a son”. We were overjoyed. We both wanted a little boy. She printed us up a few pictures and we returned to the waiting room to see the midwife. Much to our surprise a nurse came out to get us and explained to us that a doctor needed to see us. We were getting worried. About 15 minutes later a doctor came in with all of my paperwork. He said “there is a problem with your son’s brain. You will need to go to Akron Children’s Hospital for a level 2 ultrasound. Your son has 2 cysts on his brain and that is usually a sign of Down’s syndrome or trisomy 13.” The doctor then left the room. I was devastated. I made it out to our vehicle and I started to cry hysterically. On our way home we received a phone call from Children’s Hospital. Our appointment was going to be April 6th. We would have to wait a week.
