Good OB appt today. Cancel RE appt for Tues??

I had my first OB appt today.  I like him well enough.  I think he will a good fit for me, having come from a midwife practice / birthing center birth.  He is very pro-natural labor, didn't make me feel patronized when I expressed my desire to deliver vaginally, and didn't overwhelm me with a whole bunch of negative twin pregnancy doom and gloom.  Got to see the babies and they're looking good, so here's the question: do I cancel my RE appt that I already have scheduled for next Tues?  When I spoke to the nurse at my RE's office last week, she said that I can cancel if the OB did an u/s and the babies look good or I could come in and take another look, whatever I want.

So WWYD?  On the one hand, I want to wrap things up properly with my RE's office, say goodbye and thank you and all that, but on the other hand, I'm comfortable with letting things proceed on the OB's timeline from here on.  He wants me to make an appt with an MFM within the next week (he said for a consult, not sure if they'll do an u/s or not), so I don't know.  Thoughts?  Anyone have an MFM appt around 8 weeks?  Did they do an u/s?

    I would keep the RE appointment unless it's difficult with your schedule or something.  Of course, I never turn down an appointment because I need as much reassurance as I can get so my opinion is probably a bit biased.  Also, I do think it's nice to get the chance to say thank you to the RE and everything if you want to, so that's another reason to keep it.

    However, I don't think you need to keep the appointment at all.  If everything looked good today and you'll be seeing an MFM soon then the RE isn't going to do anything more than they will.  I've never been to an MFM before 10 weeks, but in my experience they do an ultrasound at every single appointment, even just a consult.  Of course, the reason we see an MFM requires ultrasounds to check so maybe they don't always do them for everyone.

    It took 3 1/2 long years, but we finally got our little miracle!
