My pregnancy was not without
its hardships, from morning sickness
to swollen ankles, but I had
no doubts about the decision
I had made. My parents, when
I told them what was going
on with me, expressed their concerns
but also their confidence
in my decision and assured me
they would be there when
I delivered my baby.
Paula was born on a bright,
cloudless, warm Tuesday morning
in May. I was prepared to
see a red, wrinkled, squalling infant.
Instead, I saw very little.
Because of the risks involved,
Paula was delivered by Caesarian section.
The doctors and nurses rushed her
into an incubatorto assess her
before I caught a glimpse of her.
I could see my parents
on the other side of
the operating room window, questions
in their eyes. What was going on?
The nurses kept me comfortable
and tried to alleviate my fears
but half an hour passed before
our questions were answered.
My daughter had a severe heart defect.
