148!

The baby's heart rate was holding strong yesterday at 148! I've come to the conclusion that the doctor doesn't hold the doppler in place long enough. I find myself hardly breathing because I'm listening so carefully. And, it's breathtaking. I'd like to just sit and listen for a bit. My Mom bought me a heart rate monitor which says it works best at the end of the second trimester. I've still tried, hoping to hear the little one.

Today I feel exhausted. I was falling asleep this morning while Garrett drove us into town for work. I plan to take Huntley for a walk, eat dinner, watch NCIS and go to bed. I might, only might, empty the dishwasher and do a little laundry. We'll see. For now, I'm going to pick up my wonderful husband and head for home. Did I mention I will probably include eating Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream into my evening? It's good but I wish it were Central Dairy.

Take care!
