I heard you today!!!

I got a little sick at work and they told me to come in and see a doctor. So, they hooked me up to an IV to put fluids into me. And then, the very nice lady doctor asked me if I'd like to try to hear you! Well, of course I did! So, she put the speaker thing on my belly and, for just a second, we heard the very fast heartbeat of a baby. It's so weird that babies' heartbeats are so much faster than grown-ups. And then, as we listened, there was a "sploosh" sound and the doctor said, "Well, he just kicked and swam away!"

It was very exciting! I just wish your dad or sister had been able to hear it too.

Hope you're feeling better now.

It suddenly makes it all seem so much more real, doesn't it?

I'm so excited for you :-)

YES because, until you feel them move or see or hear them, you're sort of just taking it on faith that they're there, you know? It could just be really dramatic water retention!

I asked that and she said, "Let's wait 'til your ultrasound before saying that".
