Yesterday we went to the doctor. We waited for what seemed like years in the little exam room. Finally the doctor appeared! She was in green scrubs and maroon croc mary jane's... strange outfit but I liked it! :)
She started with the routine... how are you feeling.... here's what we are going to do.... then she gave us the warning. "Now we are going to try to listen to the heartbeat. The baby is still really small and we might not be able to find it right away so please don't panic! If we can't find it then we will look at it on the ultrasound...ok?"...
What was I going to say ...no.. not acceptable you must find the 3 inch child swimming around my pelvic area right away?... Well after she made me lay down (and put the icky feeling gel crap on my pelvis) I understood what she was warning me about.
I was looking at my husband who had his eyes fixated on the doctor moving the magic wand on my belly... and there was some strange crackling noises.... then I heard a heartbeat... doctor says, "nope that's yours"... then my heart began to race.. where is the baby... is there still a baby?.... more loud crackling..... ooo another heartbeat.... nope just mine... snap... crackle... pop.... sweating palms.... racing heart rate.... thoughts swirling... then .... lupp dupp lupp dupp... it was so fast... "That's it!" exclaimed the doctor!
Daniel's eyes widened as we listened very quietly to the sound of our baby's heart fluttering at a strong pace. The doctor said it's sounds good and it sounds strong. I was exstaic with joy and shouted out, "Go, baby, go!" Then the doctor stated, "Yeah...go, baby, go!"
