Galloping Horses and Trains

I got the doppler I rented last Wednesday. Well, of course I tried to use it immediately and it didn't work. Although I resolved to try once a week until we heard something, I ended up trying once a day. Never heard anything until.....today. I finally found the heartbeat on a full bladder, right at the pubic line, plenty of u/s gel, and inhaling and holding my breath. After 2 minutes of doing that we heard the heartbeat at 162 bpm! It was a wonderful sound. I just smiled and listened, smiled and listened. It sounds just like a galloping horse or a speeding train. I didn't expect to hear it until I was 10+ weeks, but we were able to hear it at 9 weeks 4 days. I'm impressed! I am so looking forward to listening again.

Quotes



These are the years, the gentle years,the soft and sentimental years
when wee little fingers reach and touch
and little eyes gaze with wonder and trust,
when you love so tenderly and so so much,
these are the gentle years.

These are the years, the rainbow years, the quiet, walk-on-tiptoes years,
the years of laughter and smiles and sighs
when both of you watch with misty eyes the tiny bed
where a cherub lies,
these are the rainbow years.

These are the years, the tender years, the blissful, sweet-surrender years,
when your little treasure from above
is the soul and purpose and center of your plans and dreams and dearest love,
these are the tender years.
