Today I started my weekly OB appointments. At this point in most pregnancies the check-ups are still every four weeks, but my checkered history calls for more careful monitoring. As of today though, everything is fine. The baby's heartrate was 144, which is about where it's been all along. My blood pressure was fine at 120/73 and all signs point to continued health for both of us. Dr. Kennedy keeps saying she just knows everything will be fine this time. Sometimes I wonder if she says that to reassure herself or me. Probably a little of both. It can't be easy to have two people's lives in your hands.
