Im Back...
Ok im back now... Had to go to my sisters chorus concert right after we got home from the appt. Ok the baby was being naughty and was all curled up in a ball... Ive got good new and bad news... Ok ive got another u/s cuz they couldnt get a good enough look at the spine so we have another chance of peekin between the legs and the baby is healthy and growing fine... The bad news was the doctor told me that there is a shiny white thing that shows up on the u/s in the heart that is something about a calcium deposit or something and babys with down syndrome have it, but the doctor said that 5% of normal babies have it too, so there is a chance of baby having down syndrome and a chance that it doesnt. The doctor thinks it probably doesnt because the rest of the baby is normal and the only way to find out if it does or not is to get an amnio-whatever its called (sorry I dont know any of these technical words) and that I have more of a chance with complications from that amnio crap than my baby does of having down syndrome. So I dont think its worth risking my baby for so im not gettin the amnio crap done and im just gonna have to deal with the fact that my baby might have down syndrome... But yea didnt have much good news today at my appt but I got some u/s pics to post... 1 is a 3d u/s! I will love my baby no matter what and I believe god will take care of us and I hope its one of the 5% of normal babies... Oh yea just to clerify 5% of the normal babies doesnt mean 95% down syndrome.. Its just 5% of the 100% of normal babies.... If that makes sense... Im sorry im such a blonde and am so bad at explaining about things... Im still a little shakin up about all this but its my baby and I still love it. Im gonna get my u/s pics on shutterfly now... Im sorry this is so long...

Ok... 5% out of all babies that are born normal(with out anythin wrong with them) have that calcium deposit in their heart like what my baby has... But the calcium thing is found commonly in down syndrome babies because of the chromasone problem that causes downsydrome...So it could be that my baby could possibly have down syndrome... Does that make more sense?... But I really hope its not downsyndrome... Everything else was fine, and the doc said that if it had down syndrome they would probably notice other things wrong too... But everything else was fine... I hope baby is fine!

I always try to think of the possitve things. I have depression and I think im helping myself more than the pills had helped me... I always just try to think of the positives, no need to worry about the negatives cuz it will just cause un-needed stress for my baby. But thinking about it does bring me down quite a bit... My mom always tells me to think happy thoughts and to believe in god cuz if I ever doubt him then the baby will come out with down syndrome, just cuz I doubted him.

I am sorry that there is a chance that you baby might have down sydrome. I too did not get the amniocentisis done, because like you I knew that I would love my baby regardless... I am praying for you and you are in my thoughts
