So we had our first visit with the midwife last night.
We made it a family affair since it would be the first time the kids got to hear the baby's heartbeat.
After a jolly time chatting with our midwife about life and traveling and politics and babies, we finally got to the moment the kids had been waiting for "so patiently" (minus the sighing)...
I lay on the table and our midwife put the device on my belly and there it was: wompf-wompf-wompf! 148-152-155 A good strong heartbeat that sounded like an approaching train.
We asked the kids what they thought and both were excited, though Edward grew thoughtful. "Is that it?" he asked. "I wanted to hear the baby waaa."
...
Plenty of time for that, my boy.
