O FOLLOW-UP

We are at 18 1/2 weeks today.  Went to the high risk OB for an ultrasound and consult.  Baby girl is measuring in the 55%.  Today, the O looks "moderate," containing bowel and a small portion of the gallbladder and liver.  Her kidneys still look echogenic (bright), but they are normal in size, and her amniotic fluid is normal, so the doctor isn't worried about them.  We go back for another ultrasound at the end of November.  By then, the micro array to check for Beckwith Weidemann Syndrome should be back.   So we wait.   I originally thought the doctor was ordering micro array testing for a large range of genetic abnormalities, but he decided to focus in on BWS due to the cost difference of $2200 and because he felt the other was looking for a needle in a haystack.  I wish he would have consulted with us before changing the lab order, but I guess I will just have to trust his judgement on this one.
