Strong heartbeat!

Since I'm a nurse, I have my own stethoscope. When I first started feeling her move, I tried to hear her heartbeat with it, but wasn't able to. I've tried every couple weeks to see if I could hear it, but hadn't had much success....Until tonight! I'm working late, and had some down time. My stethoscope was sitting right next to me, and I was getting ready to put it away in preparation for going home. I decided to give it a try and see if I could hear our little girl. I tried in one spot, but only heard my tummy girgling. I tried it in another, and heard a strong, rhythmic beat! I counted to make sure it wasn't mine--and it definately was not! It was so amazing to hear! Even though we've heard her heartbeat at the OB's a handful of times by now, hearing it with my stethoscope, on my own, was just amazing. It's so reassuring and calming and did I mention it was amazing?! :)

I called Todd to tell him the latest, and will be bringing home my stethoscope for him to listen to as well! Now whenever I have any anxiety about how she's doing, I'll be pulling out my stethoscope to check her hb! (I might just start carrying it around in my purse!)

30 weeks today! I can't hardly believe it. We have an OB appt Tuesday, and will be going in every 2 weeks from now on. Fun, fun, fun!

I am so excited to meet our little one! (But sweet girl, you can stay inside and gestatate a bit longer, ok?)

Thanks for checking in on us,
Love Julie
