My doctor called yesterday to tell me se received the report from my last ultrasound. She informed me that in addition to having placenta previa there was a spot noted in the ventricle. It `s called echogenic intracardiac focus/EIF). She said it was most likely nothing of concern because my triple screen was very good, but I will have to have a level II ultrasound in 2 weeks to look for any other possible markers for Downs. Apparently this EIF can be a normal finding, but may also indicate abnormality if it `s coupled with other findings or risk factors. I `m trying to stay calm, especially since the MD kept stressing that it `s probably just a normal variance. Wish us luck!

In just a few hours we go for our level 2 ultrasound... I can `t wait to speak with the perinatologist. Hopefully all goes well : )

All is well with Penelope Jane. The perinatologist who did the level 2 ultrasound said there are no markers indicating any problems and that we should not worry a bit about the EIF. We went to our first Bradley Childbirth Class last week and it was fun. Much of the material covered was review for me, but both my husband and I learned something new and we met some nice people. I've been keeping track of everything I eat, exercising, and doing my prenatal exercises too. Sleeping is becoming a little difficult as I wake up often to go to the bathroom and I've had leg cramping for the past few days. Sometimes I feel short of breath for no apparent reason. I guess it's the lack of lung space... Looking forward to this week's class and looking forward to 3rd trimester!

Penelope is growing! All was well at last week's OB appointment. My labs were fine and I passed the 1 hour glucose screen. Penelope's heart rate was normal, amniotic fluid normal, placenta cleared cervical os, and she's was in a head down position. Appointments will now be every 2 weeks- not much longer now : ) The nursery is coming together nicely. Husband and I painted the walls and the furniture arrived yesterday. All we need now is a crib and a BABY! Yay!!!!
