The baby does have 2 echocardiogenic focii in his left ventricle (still a boy!).
Since our bloodwork came back at a 1:10,000 chance of Down's, this doubles or risk... so, we have a 1:5,000 chance little Elias has Down's. No increased nuchal folds, no thickened posterior skull, or positive markers in my alpha-fetal protein bloodwork.
I mentioned taking video & she said we can't... then mentioned if we wanted to pay $5, we could get a VHS tape of it. So, uh, yeah!? Hoping we can get it converted in the next week or two so I can post it on youtube. Pretty exciting stuff.
Have the u/s pictures scanned & we have our (OB) doctor's appt tomorrow. Still can't feel the baby moving, but he is a freaking busy-body! :) It's so cool to watch him. Just amazing. All of it!

Rachel, what does that mean? About the heart, that is?
LOL - our doc also puts the video on VHS. On the other hand, we have a DVD/ VCR combo so it's fine :)
What does the echocardiogenic focii mean? What do they do?
It's amazing what they can catch early! My friend had a kid with some heart thing and they put a pacemaker in the day after the kid was born.
It's so cool how they can prepare nowadays. And it might mean you get to see more pics of your little BOY!

Just curious, we had our ultrasound put on a VHS too (why do they do that anymore?!!) but I can't figure out how to get it on a DVD. Did you end up converting it? How?
