Today we had student nurses at work. One of them turned out to be a midwife. Someone mentioned to her that I was pregnant and within minutes I was lying on a desk in an office with my belly showing and she was using a doppler to find my baby's heartbeat. How many people get to hear their baby's heartbeat at work? It was pretty cool. Lucky for me, one of the people in the room with us was thinking and suggested we call Shane. He got to hear too. She also showed me where my uterus is. I had been poking and prodding trying to feel for it. It was there right in front of me all along and I didn't even know it. I can really feel it. It will only be easier to find from here on out, I suppose. Tomorrow is 13 weeks.

I’m sure shane would have been dissapointed if he hadn’t been able to hear the heartbeat. it is such a special wonderful sound, isn’t it?

Wonderful stuff. I remember seeing each one of my kids and listening to their heartbeats for the first time. I’ll never forget that gentle swish-swish rhythm. When all of your hope and heart is riding on the little life inside of your wife’s stomach, that’s the most reassuring sound in the world.
