Miraculous Thunder

Today Wonderman and I went to see the doctor. It was just a regular visit, making sure I'm still alive and well. I am. And then she brought out this tiny little wand that she pushed into my gut. I knew it was time to hear Baby Bean's heartbeat and I anxiously waited. And waited. My paranoia kicked in as she looked for it all over my little belly area. I was terrified that she wouldn't find it. But find it she did. Phew. It was the sweetest sound in the world, that gorgeous thudding at 150 thuds a minute (Is that fast enough for you to tell me it must be a girl, because apparently they have faster heartbeats? That is still up for debate. 150 is right in the middle of normal, "they" say). I looked over at Wonderman and smiled. He kind of nodded and smiled a little bit back with a look on his face that said, "Right. Of course. You're pregnant. What did you expect?" I almost felt like I was being overly gooshy. I wasn't, right? I guess he meant it when he said he probably wouldn't get too emotionally involved until the kid was out. Sigh. Still, I was both relieved and thrilled. Apparently there really is a baby in there. Sweet.

Oh, you're not gushing too much. That's a beautiful moment, and one of many to come in motherhood! Congrats on your pregnancy- I didn't know you were pregnant? That's really exciting though! When are you due? Are you planning on staying on the island?
I remember my appt like that where they were trying to find the heart beat when the baby was so tiny. I swear it took her like 5 minutes. I was all sweaty and feeling sick and sad because I didn't think she would ever find it. Don had to hold me to make sure I didn't faint. Did you ever think I was such a wuss?! And now Brody is here and totally healthy!
Gosh, I'm SO excited for you!!! I'm excited that you're gonna blog more now too!
Oh my goodness!!! Congratulations! I love the idea of mini Julianne and Wondermans in the world!
Not at all gushy! After all my miscarriages I cried (I'm mean sobbed) when I heard that heartbeat. It's an amazing process and feeling the joy now is just the start!
I did the exact samet thing everytime! Sometimes for me it was hard for the doctor to find as well. It gets better and better hearing that heart beat. I looked forward to that each visit.
