I went to the doctor on Friday, nothing wrong just my monthly check up to see that Baby Sister is growing just as she should and all is well. I feel good, I am not swelling, morning sickness is gone and I am only occasionally over the emotional top. So, I was pretty confident going into my appointment. The nurse weighs me - only one pound heavier than last month. Woo hoo!!!! I am thrilled.
The doctor comes in and talks to me about things are going. He says all is well and that he doesn’t see any problems. So, time to listen to her heartbeat. Yeah!! I love this part, hearing her little heart beat makes me so happy. So, we hear the heart beating away and the first thing I think is she sounds so happy. But I figure I am just projecting my own feelings onto Baby Sister.
Then the doctor says “It always scares me when I hear a baby that sounds that happy. She is never going to want to come out.” He smiled and of course he was joking, we have no reason to suspect that she will not come out. However, I thought it was so funny that he said she sounded happy. How can a heart beat sound happy? Really, it just goes thump-thump-thump. Can it sound unhappy? Not in distress, of course it can sound in distress, but can it sound unhappy? Probably not. It was funny. I will just continue to think of her as being very happy in there. It makes me happy to think she is happy. And with all the other stuff, being happy is needed right now.
I have been wondering about that!! Like…can they have feelings in the womb? I read something that said they can DREAM in the womb, but what would they dream about?
