We continued our pregnancy as if nothing was wrong. It was very difficult for me because I worked with two other women who were pregnant. They were due at the beginning of June and Kyle was due on August 19. When I went back for my appointments my doctor told me she did not expect Kyle to make it until August. She didn't even expect him to make it through the birth. At this time I began to pray to God. I asked him to let my baby be born alive; I just wanted to hold him and know that he was safe in my arms if only for a moment. Throughout the remainder of my pregnancy I focused on the hope that Kyle would be born alive. As my due date became nearer I developed a common condition with anencephaly called polyhydraminos (an excessive amount of amniotic fluid) which caused me to look further along that I actually was. I actually had customers ask me if I was expecting my child any day. The other two women I worked with hadn't even gone into labor yet! This made it very uncomfortable for me, but not for very long.
