My first ultrasound,” Roni whispered as they waited for the radiologist to come into the exam room. “You are so silly, Ron, You’d think you were having the baby.” Kayla tried to find a comfortable position on the table. There was a light knock and the door opened. “Ms. Hopkins? Hi, I’m Kelly and I’m gonna be doing your sonogram today. You feeling okay?” “Fine. This is my friend Roni.” “Nice to meet you. Well, let’s get started.” Kelly lifted the gown and measured Kayla’s stomach with her hands. “You feeling the baby move?” “A lot.” Kayla smiled. “Now, this is gonna be a little cold,” she said as she put the blue gel across Kayla’s stomach. She reached for the scope and moved it around Kayla’s belly. “There’s the heart, liver, kidneys, all looking good. There’s the head. Look at the arms, the legs.” Kayla watched in amazement as she saw her baby on the small monitor. Tears began to form in her eyes and she did not bother to stop them. This was her baby.
