Well, I was two days shy of 11 weeks, but measuring 11 weeks.
We met with our Neonatal Specialist today and were pleased
with how things went. The ultra-sound today was the first of a
two-part test that will indicate any chromosomal irregularities.
The original measurements are showing a very healthy
Baby Slonim!! The Doctor also shared that our Baby has
a nice nasal bone... we didn't dare ask if he meant large!!
In regards to my T-shaped uterus he will treat me as he
would with any other uterine abnormality. General risks or
concerns are cervix incompetency and pre-term labor.
I will be having ultra-sounds every two weeks from 16-24 weeks
to monitor my cervix. Following 24 works I will be paying
attention to my body for signs of labor... With other uterine
normalities 50-80% of women do not have problems so let's be
hopeful that I am within those statistics.
The T-shaped uterus is so infrequent (without DES exposure - google
if you'd like more info) that data doesn't exist; however, Dr. Lai did
confirm that this will not land me a spot on the Today Show nor
Oprah.
Pictures of the peanut below. He/She was very active during
the ultrasound - kicking legs and waving arms - I attribute to
the Reeces Peices I ate on the way in. We also measured a heartbeat
of 164/minute.

Waving Hello...
The visible jaw bones looked like a big smile!!
