David surprised me today with a Doppler fetal monitor, borrowed from one of his coworkers.
We got a heartbeat immediately. I was stunned! We were both speechless for a good 5 minutes listening to baby pump away. So fast and so little! David sat right there with the same silly grin as we listened to this racing little beat for the next 15 minutes. He recorded it, so here it is:
Baby's heartbeat
At a consistent 162 beats per minute, we followed the little one 'round my belly for a good while. S/he was movin' all over! Baby's heartbeat is easy to distinguish from mine, which sounds incredibly slow in comparison - mine is 72 bpm.
I'm in love...:)

The heartbeat is amazing! So, it's like, totally official... you have a being inside you. Yes, the miracle of birth is well-documented, but it still amazes me.... :)
