Everything is A-Ok normal

As usual, the Technicians and Doctors at EFW in Beddington were amazing. Super friendly, kind and frank. She showed us I would say every part of the baby. The heart, legs, arms, head, heart, heart rate (153bpm) and best of all, I did not have to wait long in the waiting room :0) I even got to talk to the Doctor I met last fall. He came in to discuss some of the results, assure us all was ok and was just as cute as last time. hah

The only scare the whole time during the examination was that the Tech said when she put the wand on my stomach "Well baby is moving" I'm not sure if she said that because before the exam she asked what pregnancy this was (3rd) and how many kids (1). So I am wondering, now that I'm home and thinking on it, if she said it to be re-assuring? Either way it scared the heck out of me. I stared at the screen without blinking for a solid 30 seconds trying to make out the baby moving and saying out loud "Well we got a heartbeat at yesterday's apt, so I hope the baby is still moving". For the briefest of moments I almost though s/he was not moving.

Natasha of course had zero interest in her future brother or sister and was quite content to sit with Owen and eat her pretzels. After we spoke to the doctor we moved to the consult room where we spoke with another doctor. She had printed out the report and went over our numbers and again told us everything looked great. We talked a bit more about my incompetent cervix and she is actually the first medical professional to tell me that sometime ppl have IC one pg and have no problems the next time.

Regardless, I'm happy I'm seeing a doctor that is aware of my 'condition' and I'm being monitored a lot more closely vs going to a maternity clinic once a month. It makes me feel just a teeny bit better. :0) My next Doctor appointment is next week, and at that one Dr. E will check my cervix again. She wants to make sure if it starts to shorten that we catch it fast and get me in for an emergency cerclage.

The ultrasound is still agreeing with my O DD (Dec. 16th) and has me at 12w today. :0)
