It's late and I'm home from my first evening of reorientation back into the float pool at work. I should be crawling into bed next to my husband right now. But, I'm off facebook right now and re-evaluating it over the past month and just needed an outlet to share my joy =) So, here I am blogger!
On my break tonight, I borrowed a doptone from triage and found an empty room on one of the labor floors. It's been 3 weeks and a long road trip to and from Kansas City since I heard my baby and I was itching to hear the little one today =) Sure enough, the little heartbeat was easy as pie to find and such a delight to hear again! I didn't think it would work at this early in pregnancy to hear the heartbeat while I was standing, but I tried and waddled my way over to the phone and called home. What a delightful surprise for my fantastic husband and darling sister when I put the doptone up to the phone for them to hear! A nice whoosh, whoosh of the blood flow to the placenta, a nice strong heartbeat at 144 beats per minute and audible movement on top of that! What a delight! And as I was listening, those perplexing, I'm-not-sure-what-I'm-feeling moments occurred again at the same time I heard baby Farrow move! I must be feeling the beginnings of movement already! Woo! Hoo!
I'm so in love. I smiled on the way home at midnight just thinking about it. I'm so excited to meet this little person when the time is right =)
