The ultrasound went really well. She's measuring just a couple days ahead, but the doctor said he would keep my due date where it is.
The only concern was that there is a bright spot on her heart which can be a soft marker for Down's Syndrome. However, the tech said it wasn't really a big deal, and that's basically what the doctor told us as well. She has no other signs of having DS, and with only one marker, the chances are extremely slim.
I did a little bit of research, and saw that there are lots and lots of babies who have this spot and turn out just fine. I actually didn't read about even one who had just this one marker and ended up with Down's Syndrome. We are supposed to go for a level 2 ultrasound with a specialist, but we might opt out since we don't feel that it's a very big deal.
It was so cool getting to see her! Toward the end, she started moving a lot and I could feel it while I was watching her. That was awesome! She even waved her little hand for us once :)
