Fastest OB appointment ever this morning! My appt. time was 11 a.m. and I was on my way out the door by 11:12. All is well--my blood pressure was 120/64 and the baby's heartrate steady at about 150 beats per minute. Between last week's ultrasound and today the baby has shifted from head on my right side to head on the left side. I was actually able to feel the head today--cool! That also explains why my back now hurts on the left side.

John and I both had colds this last week, but nothing major. Apparently there's a three-week version in circulation--glad we didn't get that one. Perhaps obsessive hand washing really does pay off.
