So, my little obsession is quite bigger than I had originally suspected. The problem is, I do not think that the bean appreciates my my little friend intruding on his space. I really only use the doppler three times a day.... that is not a problem, is it? Well, the bean begs to differ. As soon as I place the probe on my tummy he heads for the hills, or my pubic bone in his case. I try to sneak up on him by turning down the volume on the doppler, but as soon as I catch him I can't help but turn it up as the whoosh-whoosh just makes my heart melt. But, as soon as the first tear of joy falls he is on the move! I chase him around for a little while but he usually buries down underneath my pubic bone. The trouble is, I can listen to him just as well in that location but I feel bad about trapping the fetus between the probe and my uterus. I do not think I would enjoy someone chasing me down with a probe as they proceed to poke me in the forehead.
I think that 160 is my new favorite number, as the bean's heart rate usually hoovers around this range. Some of my favorite doppler moments include hearing the grandmother's cry as they listen to the bean through the phone. How amazing this that? Oh, and anytime you want to smile, call me and the bean up, we would LOVE to let you listen!!
