3D Ultrasound

Tomorrow morning I am having a 3D ultrasound done to look at the baby's nasal bone. For those of you who haven't heard, at my 20 week ultrasound the Dr. couldn't see the nasal bone. This is a marker for Down Syndrome. My new Dr. wanted me to get a 3D ultrasound to see if the nose looked normal, even though the specialist from Salt Lake said it would. Hopefully I get a picture tomorrow so we can show everyone. We now have to decide if we want to get the amniocentisis (genetic testing) to see if our little guy has Down syndrome. That doesn't have to be done till about 32-34 weeks along (I'm 28 1/2 weeks now) and we will have the results before he is born in September.
