double the fun

We had an eventful morning...
doctor: "There it is... that's the heartbeat of your second child. Oops, baby's active, let's move this around a little to see if we can hear it again. Yup, there it is."
-Warsha warsha warsha (that's kind of what it sounds like)-
doctor: "Hmm... let's move it just a little more...." pause while more warshas... and then overlapping warshas... long pause...
me: "What's in the background there?"
doctor: "That... would be the sound of your third child's heartbeat. Any history of twins in your family?"
Just kidding. April Fools.

Today is also the birthday of my Grandma who left us in December. Thinking of her.

HOLY CRAP, lady, not fair.

Please tell me you did this to your husband as well :-). I did it to Paul when I was pregnant with Maggie. "Honey, they reviewed that first ultrasound and it's, um, well, it's not twins! It's actually triplets!"

One of the (vanishingly few) things I miss about being pregnant is hearing the heartbeat. Such a cool reminder you have a bay in there, you know? And I found it more wonderful with the second than with the first, maybe because I knew that was just the beginning of the things I would get to learn about him.
