**UPDATE #2** Bad News. Need Prayers Please.
Unfortunately, we had bad news with my Level II results. Apparently, there was something found on my baby girl's heart. The diagnosis is an 'echogenic cardiac focus.' Basically, it is a calcium deposit that is on her left ventricle. It is a marker for Down's Syndrome.
I am beside myself right now and couldn't even go into work today. I have to go back for more genetic counseling, another sono and possibly see a high risk doctor.
I basicaly cried most of the night last night. If anyone has any experience with this, please respond. If not, please just send prayers. 
UPDATE:
Mike and I came back from the GC a little while ago. The short story of it is, I am getting an amnio tomorrow at 1 pm. Now I will know what is going on with 99.9% certainty. The FISH test will be ordered, which will give us preliminary results in 3 days. I hope to have that result by Sat. but may have to wait until Monday. And the full result comes in 10 days.
I really appreciate all of your thoughts, good wishes and prayers that you have all been sending our way. I am so happy that the women who did have this same issue and responded, have met with negative results.  That is very uplifting and helps to keep me thinking positive. I will surely update again once I get results from the FISH test in a few days.
For now, please send all of your good thoughts, prayers and healing vibes for my amnio tomorrow. You guys are awesome. 
UPDATE #2:
So, we went to Madonna's office at 1pm and by 2:05pm we were out. We got to see the baby girl on the sono before the amnio began. Everything looked good though the bright spot on her heart was still there. We got a few pics too. The sono even showed her smiling. 
The doctor came in- the nurses, my hubby and him made a few jokes and then we began. For anyone who didn't have an amnio I'll let you in on a little secret... it sucks. I'm not gonna lie, it hurts. I am happy that the baby didn't go near the needle and all looked good during the procedure, but I am not looking forward to ever doing that again if I get pregnant with #2. Needless to say, I am glad that I got it done and that it's over.
Thank you all so much for all of the FMs, kind words and prayers. They really mean a lot to me and I am truly touched. As soon as I get results, I will let all of you know. Thanks so much girls!!

Re: Bad News. Need Prayers Please.
Many and to you, but please understand that just because she has a marker for DS does not mean she has DS.
I'm praying that all is well.
