This time the ultrasound was done on the outside of my stomach, but I wanted to say do the other method so I can see you better. (My photo/motherly instincts kicking in), but we saw your heart beat and how much bigger you have gotten.
Then time came for hearing your heart for the first time. It was very unreal. Just knowing that it's not my heartbeat, it's yours was something of awe. It was around 150 beats per minute and and a constant bu-bum. We got to listen to it for about a minute. I did shed a tear but it made it more real that I have you growing inside me. I can't wait till you grow bigger and I can feel you move around!
I need to throw this in there because I laughed with your dad afterwards. His first question while listening to your heart beat was how the ultrasound machine was picking up the linear velocity of the blood flow through the heart. I was a bit baffled by the question, and I think the doctor didn't know how to answer it. It's just funny because your dad loves knowing how things work and the why behind it. I hope you get that from him and explore new things and question about it :) Nick did have to explain it a couple of times about his question, and I still kind of understand it. Maybe he will explain it to you when you can comprehend linear velocity used in ultrasounds. OR, I can look it up on the lovely Google!
Right now I am nine weeks and you are the size of a grape! I still like the sound of gummy bear, but you need to grow. I don't get to see you again for another 9 weeks, but at that time we get to find out if you are a boy or a girl! And that's when I get a new picture :) But until then, we get to hear your heart beat and know your doing okay. I am now going to go feed you something, but I don't know if it can top those blueberry pancakes we had this morning. Your dad said they tasted like muffins. It's a cool 75 right now on this the 12th of August and I need to go enjoy it before school starts tomorrow! We love you little grape koala!
