Baby's Heartbeat!

Today Nick and I met with a midwife and it was really cool. I was initially worried that she wouldn't give me any drugs if I decided I wanted them, but she assured me, that just like any doctor she could order an epidural at any point, but her job was to also remind me there were techniques I could use to get to a certain point without any medication.

Then, she greased me up and pressed on my lower belly until she found the heartbeat. It was wild! So fast and little. I was so excited that I started laughing and she lost the spot she was on and had to find it again.

Very cool.
