Baby, Baby, Yes I Heard Your Heart Beat


Dear Ms. Moon,
Why are you wearing that red skirt?
Just wondering,
Curious

Dear Curious,
Because it is my favorite skirt in the world.
Yours truly,
Ms. Moon

Dear Ms. Moon,
Why is that your favorite skirt in the world?
Your friend,
Curiouser

Dear Curiouser,
Because it is the skirt I was wearing when I heard my grandbaby's heart beat for the first time. Thanks for asking.
Love,
Ms. Moon

    There's no finer sound in the world to hear - until you hear the baby's first cry.

    RiotGrrl- Thanks for the positive thoughts. I KNEW all was well, but it was sure nice to hear the proof.

    MOB- Jeez. I know you're right.

    So glad you got to hear that magic sound! There are times when technology really can be a blessing.
    Those little beans can be so stubborn sometimes, can't they? My OB knows I'm a nervous nut-job, and would have the portable u/s machine on hand every appointment until 15 weeks JUST IN CASE he couldn't find it with the doppler. He only used it once at 9 weeks, and it was very reassuring.
    I hope your Lily is in for 9 months of uneventfulness, technologically speaking...

    Rachel- Thank-you. It was so nice to be back at the birth center where I worked and to hear that baby's heartbeat and to remember when I went in and heard my youngest daughter's heartbeat for the first time.
    It was a perfect moment.

    i just realized how so different us impoverished third-world from you guys. moms here dont listen to the baby's heartbeat from the womb with the use of technology, they just feel their pulse and know that there is another heart beating inside them.

    Ah, Ms. Butterfly- I trusted my own intuition of how this baby is. But what I heard today (just a doppler audio, not a sonogram) was beautiful music to my ears.
    But you- you are right.

    Thank-you, AJ. It's also very comfy. And can be morphed into a dress if the situation calls for such nonsense.
