Everything looks good - the baby has a heartbeat of 130 and is measuring perfectly. Apparently last time at this stage in my pregancy the baby was only measuring at a 1.5 and they like to see at least a 4 - at this point in this pregnancy - my little peanut is at a 7.2.
They said my blood pressure was a little low 80/62 and I need to drink more water. The RE is going to keep me as long as possible - but does want me to make an appointment with my OB for sometime in July.
Now we have to try and decide if we should see a MFM - my RE and Hemo doctor both said it is not necessary but if we feel more comfortable then it is up to us. John and I still have to talk about it.
I also met with my Hemo Doctor today and found out she is leaving the practice to focus more on research - I am so bummed - I really like her. But all my bloodwork looks good and I do not have to come back for a month. Apparently John has been giving me the needles the wrong way and that is why I am so badly bruised.
My friend is going to let me borrow her doppler - so I will try and get it from her next weekend so we can hear the baby's heartbeat all of the time.
I am very happy with the way today went.

One word of advice: don't stress about finding the HB on your home doppler...I can't remember but it seems like it was 14 weeks when I was able to find it regularly.

I'm so glad that everything looks perfect! I hope this pregnancy is trouble-free!
If you are looking for an MFM- I went to Dr. Gerson at Lankenau and really liked him. I am sure that is a bit of a drive for you, but you will get wonderful care and attention there!
