A heartbeat

I went to the doctor this morning for a regular check-up. She took my blood pressure, asked me how I was feeling etc. and then... she got me to lie on the bed thingy and put what looked like a microphone (covered in blue sticky stuff) on my tummy (apparently the instrument is called a doppler or handheld ultrasound). First we could hear my heartbeat (quite slow and steady), and then she moved the doppler a little and there was another one (about twice as fast as mine). Apparently the little one sounded very healthy.

I could have listened to it for ages, but I kept giggling and drowning out the sound. It was simply amazing to hear this little person inside me!
