Exhale

Everything looks fine.

You. You look fine. You are "a beautiful fetus," says the MFM team at NYU. The ultrasound tech doing the fetal echocardiogram agrees. You do not have to see the pediatric cardiac specialist again unless your pediatrician hears a heart murmur after you are born.

You are fine.

Everything is fine.

I am so relieved I could cry.

Maybe I will? Why not?

Why not.

Only a few more months. It's summer now. You arrive in the fall.

Not too long at all.

I can't believe it. After all this time. All these blog entries. Years. Years and years and years of hypothetical consideration. You are really in there.

You are on your way.

And you'll be here very, very soon.
