A New Addition (kinda)

We spent the weekend working our butts off, and long last have a third bedroom. Doesn’t seem like that would have much to do with a baby, does it? Well, the good news is that the room that was perviously a guest room has been emptied of gigantic man-sized stuff and replaced with honey-I-shrunk-the-furniture sized bits. Read: Nursery.

Our cat loves the window in the new guest bedroom, which is great, because he’s not allowed in the nursery! (Unless he can learn to change diapers, in which case he is more than
welcome.)

The doctor moved the wand around on Melissa’s belly and warned us “Now usually we find the mom’s first…” But her eyes lit slightly as a persistent beat drummed through the device’s speakers. “… or sometimes not! That’s the baby’s!”

A grin split from ear-to-ear on our faces as Melissa and I glanced at each other briefly, and the realization hit home: Somebody’s in there.

I tried to record the experience of hearing our baby’s heartbeat the first time, but in my happiness managed to confuse the green “pause” icon with the red “record” icon and not commit a thing to tape. Why the good folks at Sony would think green means stop and red means go, I have no idea. I’ll get it next time, however.

The doctor also said that next time she’d let me try to find the heartbeat, and issued this like a challenge. Tish! Has my video game expertise not proceeded me, Doctor?
