I had my first official OB appointment today. After giving me the usual prodding exam, it was time to use the doppler. Don't worry, the midwife told me, 10 weeks is early and we might not hear anything yet. If we don't you can come back in a couple of weeks and try again. I was desperately hoping we could hear because Dave will be gone in a couple of weeks.
Well, she put the doppler on my belly, and to both her and my surprise, we heard an immediate thumpthumpthumpthump loud and clear. It faded in and out and rolled around as if our little peanut was dashing all over the place. "Now hold still there, little baby!" said the midwife. Dave was invited in the room and beamed as he too heard the strong 150bpm heartbeat.
I wanted to shout, "IT'S ALIVE Muhahahaha!"
Seriously though, hearing that little beating heart coming from inside me, with the sound of my slower one in the background, was by far one of the coolest and most miraculous things I have ever experienced.
