1st Appointment with Specialist (11w5d)

Today, I had my very first appointment with Dr. Tabor. He is an OB/GYN who specializes in Fetal Medicine & Maternal Medicine. I also work with him a lot up at Harris so we aren't strangers at all and that makes everything much nicer. First, his sono tech took a look and Peanut's heart beat was 169bpm. Peanut was jumping all over the place and it's little arms and legs were just a pumping! How cute! She also measured the skin flap on the back of the neck several times. After she was done Dr. Tabor came in and said that all the measurements were good and that the baby's skull was intact and its chest & abdominal cavities looked great! So I guess Peanut passed all of its tests this time. Yeah! I now go back in three weeks and he said if there has been any shortening of my cervix then I will probably be getting a cervical cerclage. Yikes! Lastly, I gave some blood for some testing and I should get those results in a week.
