Do you hear what I hear….?
Posted By pamelamyers on August 15, 2009
On Thursday, August 13 I went in for Sam’s latest non-stress test (which of course, went well). The nurse and Dr. Gerson, who popped in to see how I was doing, said, once again, she is doing great in there. The test went a little long this time since they were pretty busy with another patient, so I started to get a little antsy (you know how I can be…). The TV wasn’t on, I had nothing to read, and Mark wasn’t there to talk to, so I started playing with my cell phone (which is still sort of new and I still can’t quite figure out). Anyway, I found this nifty feature called “Record Audio”. So I recorded away! If you have speakers, you can hear what Mark and I think is one of the best sounds in the world. Click below!
When they checked my fluid level using the ultrasound I was told she is still head down (we thought it was possible she may move, but she didn’t). Her little round butt is on my right, and her feet are to my left. I thought so…I always feel a tiny knob pressing hard into my left side. Now I have confirmation that it’s her little feet pushing into me! The nurse did show me her breathing (it sort of looked like an accordian) which she said was very cool since they only actually breathe a few times an hour. Babies in utero get all their oxygen from the umbilical cord, so these were just practice breaths! Isn’t it crazy how their lungs can breathe fluid in and out and then from the minute they are born they can breathe air just fine? I find the whole thing incredibly amazing.
Sorry…no photos from this ultrasound. The machine they use to measure fluid is pretty darn archaic looking and the screen is grainy so I don’ t think they bother. But I’ll have my next real ultrasound in 2 weeks!
