Annabel Lee

On April 20, 2016 I was around 18 weeks pregnant and  our doctor told us something appeared wrong in the ultrasound. That was when we learned about Anencephaly and our world came crashing down. We had never heard of this disorder before so we we're completely lost. After confirming with a specialist they gave us only two choices, to terminate or to carry her as long as she was living. We chose to carry her. She was born at 39 weeks on September 20, 2016 at 230 pm and passed the same day at 705pm.
