So we had the very first appointment with our midwife and it was so much fun!
Once we got through all of the initial questions and health history it was time for the fun part...listening for the heartbeat. She found it right away and we couldn't believe how fast it was. We only listened for about 10 seconds before I started giggling. I don't know what so was funny but I just couldn't stop and the worst part was that we could no longer hear the baby's heartbeat but just the loud static sound of my laughs!
I finally calmed down by looking out the window and holding my breath and I think I must have scared that little one away. No more heartbeat but was told loud and clearly to knock it off and pay attention with a couple of swift kicks. I couldn't feel them but we could sure hear them!
This was the perfect example of that type of moment when you get to giggling at the most inopportune time and can't stop.
We left there with the biggest smiles on our faces and throughout the day we would look at each other and just start laughing thinking about that most amazing and funny moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives!
Do you have a funny story about something that happened while you were pregnant?
My last 2 births were home births and they were excellent! I'm so excited for you! Here are a few of my favorite baby things:
ReplyDelete1. Although not fancy, this is the best product I ever purchased. He slept in here for a long time and it helped greatly with his reflux. http://reviews.fisher-price.com/6194/51903/reviews.htm
2. My second most used product is this sling. I have used a million slings/carriers between the 3 kids and nothing compares to this one. http://loveyduds.com/organic_cotton_baby_wraps
3. I loved these because they're too cute and very very useful. Also, if you a few you can message her and she might give you a discount. http://www.etsy.com/shop/laundrymonster
Thanks for all of the suggestions!
