I happened to scan thru some of your older posts and saw this one. I know you said you're fine one way or another, and that's awesome...but just to add a bit more encouragement, my son had an ecogenic foci on his heart and he is fine. I, too, declined any further testing because \he would be what he would be.\ I did not want to chance a spontaneous abortion...God already knew the outcome, we just trusted Him. So, when my son was born, ... he was healthy, no problems whatsoever. When I spoke to the midwife about the spot, she said that there were no other indications but that over the past few years they had noticed that those with a spot on the heart have an increased chance for DS. But in her experience, none have had DS. Out of the 5 women working in her office, 3 have had a baby with a spot and all have been fine. So again, just to throw a little reassurance your way, if all of Belle's other measurements were normal, I'd take a guess and say Little Miss is fine :) Praying for Nathan's Head Control!
