I hadn't fully embraced the benefits of my iphone and question whether I really need all of the applications and unnecessary tools. After today, I can officially say I'm so thankful for the iphone and the "voice memo" application.
Brian wasn't able to make our OBGYN appointment because of a business trip but with the help of my handy iphone application, I was able to record the sound of the baby's heart beat. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to include the link on this blog but I was able to email it so he could still be a part of the experience. In the recording, you can hear the heart beating and kicking. Very cool!
Speaking of kicking, this kid is definitely active. I've been feeling kicks and somersaults. Yesterday for the first time, Brian felt a kick and it was pretty exciting. There are moments in the day, especially after I've worked out or have been active that the baby is more responsive. In fact, this morning, during a yoga pose, the baby gave me a big kick which I am interpreting as disapproval (it was a pretzel like twist). When the baby kicks I like to push on my belly to play with it. The more I push, the more it responds. Brian says this is child abuse. I say it's me interacting and bonding with our baby. :-)
Overall, the doctor said the baby and my pregnancy are very healthy. Our amnio results indicated that there are NO health problems (big sigh of relief!) we should be concerned about, I'm gaining weight at a healthy pace, and the baby is developing right on track.
Oh, and Mom, in case you are reading this, I have had my seasonal and H1N1 shots so don’t worry!
