11 weeks

Friday I had my first appt with my new OB. I like her. We got to hear the heartbeat on the doppler. It's little heart was beating away at 166bpm. She wasn't finding it at first, but finally did. Since I was coming from the specialist, she knows that some of us patients can get a little anxious when going from weekly appts. to monthly appts. with a regular OB. So, she told me, if I ever need the reassurance that everything is ok, I can come in and they can do a doppler, just so I know everything is fine. I was very happy to hear that. I think I will be ok, but it's nice to know that I have that option.
She told me my uterus was a little tipped to the right, but it should straighten itself out as I get further along, and it's nothing to worry about. My cervix was good, which I was worried about, since I had a LEEP done a couple years ago, and I know that it can cause incompetent cervix. But all that looks ok at the moment, so nothing to worry about.
I go back in 4 weeks, when I will be just over 15 weeks. And I am hoping at the end of that appt. I will be making another appt for 4 weeks out for my BIG ultrasound. Can't wait!!!!
So, I have about a 7 1/2 week countdown to finding out if it's a boy or a girl!
I hope I am right in my 7 1/2 week estimation, otherwise it will be a total letdown at my next appt. if I have to wait longer. But, I will be 19 weeks at that point, and I know that ultrasound is usually done between 18-22 weeks, so a perfect time for it.
