Well, his heart looks good. (Thank God.)

His kidneys both are functioning though the left one never moved to the proper position and is further down in his pelvic area than kidneys are supposed to be.

However, that problem along with the umblical cord only having 2 tubes instead of 3 means the risks of Down's syndrome are higher - even though my quad screen (which tests for neural tube defects like spina bifida) came back negative for Down's and NTD's.

I was offered an amniocentisis (which is a definitive test as it tests the actual amniotic fluid instead of my blood for certains levels of things) but after discussing it and the risk of miscarriages that go along with it, we decided against it. It's not like we'd do anything (abort) if we found out NOW vs. later... So we'll keep on monitoring him through sonograms (I think they'll be a regular happening from now 'til birth), watch his growth (another indication is that if his growth starts to trail behind other "normal" babies of the same gestational age, our chances go up even more), and wait and see.

Thanks for the prayers. It wasn't the greatest news but it wasn't the worst either.

PS - Oh, and it's DEFINITELY a boy.
