Easy Peasy - Week 17

Today I heard Clark's heartbeat and the doctor says my cervix is "long and closed."
One of the interesting things about going to the usual OB instead of the high risk OB are the techs and nurses. At the high risk OB, everyone kind of assumes that disaster or at least something that looks like disaster has brought you there. Questions about the children you have at home are asked in hushed tones or not at all.
At the doctor's office, chipper ladies in colorful scrubs quiz you about gender hopes and nursery themes and if your daughter is ready to be a big sister. They see so many average pregnancies with no complications...it's the norm.
Oh how I wish that was my norm.
But the good news is that the baby is fine with a strong heartbeat. I can't ask for more than that.
