On April 4th I went back to the doctor's office for my second sonogram at 20 weeks. We were so excited, but I kept having thoughts that something was wrong. While we were getting our sonogram we told the technician that we wanted to know the sex of our baby. It seemed like she took a long time to look over everything. I kept wondering why she wasn't telling us if our baby was a boy or a girl. She then told us that our baby looked fine physically, but that something was wrong with his head. After hearing this my husband immediately broke down. She said she was going to get my doctor. I kept telling my husband to calm down, that it was probably something like a cleft lip or palate. When my doctor came in I knew the news was not good. She told us she was sorry, but our son was not going to make it. She then explained the condition he had was called anencephaly. I didn't know what this meant, having never heard of the condition before. I felt like I was in a bad dream. I kept telling myself that I would wake up any minute and not to worry. She then gave us our options. We could induce the pregnancy now or carry our baby boy to full term.
