Miley's POV

"Liam, the baby hasn't moved much lately, do you think there's anything wrong?" I ask Liam.

We were on our way to another doctor appointment. This time we remembered to arrange for the kids to go somewhere, even though they wanted to come again. I ignored my meat craving and it went away after a couple days. I was really moody though, but Liam said it was fine. He's so great for putting up with me. I don't know how he does it sometimes.

"I'm sure everything is fine, we'll find out in a bit anyway. We're almost to the doctor. You worry too much babe, you need to relax."

"It's just strange."

"What is?"

"I'm actually having a normal pregnancy, nothing has gone wrong yet."

"Why do you say yet?" Liam asks.

"Things can happen, especially because of my weak cervix."

"With everything going so well lately, I doubt anything will happen."

"You never know."

"You're right, I don't. But I also wanna stay positive. How do you like the nursery now that it's all set up?"

"It's great, and I think it was adorable when the kids wanted to help. Thank you for letting them." I answer. "They're so excited to meet him."

"We all are."

Once Liam and I got to the doctors office we didn't have to wait very long. We didn't have to wait very long for Dr. Walsh either, which is nice.

"He hasn't been moving a lot lately." I say.

"He has been moving though, right?" Dr. Walsh asks.

"Yeah, just not too often."

"Well the bigger the baby gets the less room they have to move around, it looks like he's doing just fine. He's breech but there's still plenty of time for him to turn around."

"See, I told you he's fine." Liam says.

"I'm just so scared, I don't want anything to go wrong."

"Well you're doing everything right, you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing. He's looking healthy, he's even at a good size and weight now."

"How big is he?"

"He is almost fifteen inches, and weighs about two and a half pounds. He's just the right size for twenty-eight weeks."

"See Miley? He's just the right size too. I told you not to worry babe." Liam says.

"Thank you Dr. Walsh."

"No problem, I'll see you in two weeks."

"Okay, I'll see you then."

After I made an appointment for August 15th, Liam and I were on our way to pick up Jessica from Dena's.

"Thanks for letting Jessica stay for a while." I say to Dena's mom. "I hope she behaved."

"They were great, they're great friends. Thanks for bringing her, Dena was asking when she'd see Jessica again."

"No problem, we'll have to do it again sometime. C'mon Jessica, we gotta go pick up your brother and sister."

Jessica walks to us with her bag and says bye to Dena and her mom before we leave. On our way to Cecilia's friend Marie's house, I finally felt the baby kick again.
