Ultrasound results

We had your 24 week appointment check yesterday. All went well. Your heart rate was 140 bpm.

While the doctor was reading the results from the ultrasound, I noticed something that said 'minor abnormality' on the ultrasound. Luckily, your dad has access to same system where they get results. He said that there was a small white spot on your heart that is noted as an EIF, Echogenic intracardiac focus. EIF Apparently, it can show up in 30% of babies with Asian descent, and well, you definitely are. I called my doctor as soon as your dad told me, but I am going to assume that they don't see it as a risk yet. It can go away by the third trimester, so hopefully they have another ultrasound for us.

It made us wonder for a few minutes on the risks of you have a chromosomal abnormality. In the end, you're a blessing, and we will not worry about it until we are told to do so.

We love you, and I'll keep you updated.
