Day Six: Never Say Never (Part One)Never say Never, really don’t challenge God or the Universe in that way. I watched a movie once about a mother who knew her child would die, the doctors did all they could and when she took her infant home she rocked her until she passed on. I told myself, “I could never live through that”, I told others “I could never loose a child”. Fast forward 10 years and two healthy daughters later, my husband and I longed for a son. My sister and I became pregnant at approximately the same time and a few weeks after we found out, I had a miscarriage. After the miscarriage, we were even more determined to have a boy, reading numerous “wives tales’ about how to ensure the sex of your upcoming pregnancy. It didn't take to long before I was expecting. We were so excited, hoping for a son. I asked the doctor, at each check-up when we could find out the sex (back then ultrasounds were not routine, there needed to be a “reason”) finally at 28 weeks he said “ok, you are measuring slightly small, let’s schedule a sonogram and take a look”. I was so excited! I took both of my daughters with me so they could see what the gender of their new sibling would be. A few minutes into the sonogram I was commenting & asking questions…"can you tell if it’s a boy?", "Is that the heart?", "Look at those hands and feet". The technician seemed annoyed, the more questions I asked the more vague she became, only telling me that she was taking measurements. She concluded with “we’re all done” and I expressed I really wanted to know the sex, she said “I think it’s best if you talk with your doctor first”. I knew immediately something was up. -Anonymous To Be Continued...(Tomorrow)
