The Day We Found Out It Was Her


One year ago today I found out that the baby that my husband and I were expecting was a girl. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Even with all of the sadness that I feel from losing my precious daughter I still smile when I think about that day. Whenever I had a prenatal appointment I would go by myself to the doctors office because my husband had to work. However, this was a special appointment and my husband would not miss finding out the sex of our baby for anything. When the ultrasound technician pulled up Malaysia's image on the screen it was love at first site for me. I was in awe by her presence. The picture on the screen was my child who was growing inside of me. Every thing on the ultrasound showed that she was a perfectly formed baby girl. I watched her do full on circles on the screen. That did not surprise me because I knew that she liked to move around. I knew that my baby girl was going to be photogenic because she was smiling in her ultrasound picture. I would give anything to go back to that day and see my baby girl alive and moving.
