She gave us time to think about
our decision, but we didn't need any time. I had already felt
him kick and move. We already had a name picked out for him.
He would lay between us at night and kick Ben in the ribs
through my growing belly. We already had a relationship with
our beautiful son. Termination was not an option. I never
wanted to lose one of the few precious moments I had left with
my child. My doctor gave us the name of a specialist she
wanted us to go to in St. Louis just to make sure that the
diagnosis was correct. We went to St. Louis two days after our
initial visit. She verified that the diagnosis was correct. We
were truly heartbroken. We had been holding on to hope that
our little boy would be ok; that maybe there was something
wrong with the sonogram machine or that he was positioned
wrong. In the end we knew it was true; we were going to lose
our son.
