Laying down a beat.

Esther and I had another appointment with the doctor. It was going to be a mixed bag. A few days ago, Esther got some questionable lady exam results. A nerve-wracking thing regardless of the time it is received, but particularly when we are taking about having a baby.Esther was a trooper, her husband, almost not. During the procedure, Jered was holding her hands during the uncomfortable bits, learning how truly uncomfortable those things can be. As the doctor was wrapping up, It must have been too much, because I nearly passed out. I was teetering on the edge of fainting, white as a ghost, clammy, sweating and light headed. This has proven that I can’t become a doctor, but has also made me a little nervous about delivery, not in Esther’s performance, but mine.The doctor’s outlook, after doing what was needed, was that it really should be nothing, and it is ultimately to stop something down the road, which is never a bad thing.The coolest part of the appointment was getting to hear the baby’s heart beat!The nurse brought in a little microphone and speaker and we managed to capture it below (you can press the play button to listen for yourself).After we heard the heart beat, Esther was much more relaxed (didn’t help me much…), and we were both a little teary eyed.”You look like you’re going to cry” Esther said to me.”Yeah, that’s a big thing [for being such a small noise].” The brackets are what I should have said, so please read them as though I did.So all in all, it was a good appointment, a little scary, but a lot happy![display_podcast]
