I went to see the Perinatalogist yesterday. The purpose of this visit was to see if the baby has specific chromosomal abnormalities including Down's Syndrome Trisomy-21 and Trisomy-18. The good news is that it is 99% probable that the baby doesn't. I still have a 1 in 240 chance though.
The doc wants me to come back in 3 weeks to check my cervix and make sure it isn't "shortening". Instead of performing a cervical cerclage (sewing the cervix shut), they just want to monitor it. That's fine by me! lol
And of course they did another ultrasound. I got to see the baby's stomach and bladder. How cool! Now I know this picture looks freaky, but it's my baby's profile (forehead, nose, mouth, chin)

That's a beautiful picture! So glad to hear that everything is going well so far.
