We've heard our children multiple times but it never gets old. Every time we step into the doctor's office we get more and more anxious waiting for the doctor to pull out her magic wand, for her to place it on my belly, and then finally we hear one tiny little heartbeat. Just when you think nothing in the world could make you happier or make you feel more complete she moves that magic wand of hers and BAM there's another little tiny heartbeat. No matter how many times you hear it, it still brings you to tears.
With our history of infertility and a miscarriage I knew I would be very paranoid until I could feel them both moving all the time. To try and easy my mind a little I bought an at-home fetal doppler. I was advised against it by many people, especially with us having twins. Many doctors have a hard time finding both heartbeats on their dopplers so why should I be special and be able to find mine? I had tried to find them at home a couple times but nothing. I heard my heart beating away quite a bit along with my arteries but those just don't cut it. I had given up on it. It was stressing me out. I can feel them about every other day kicking in there; I guess that will have to do.
Jared has been out of the state for the past few days on a business trip and I think the babies have missed their daddy's voice. Since he left I have only felt them move maybe once and I contribute that to the Reese's. I was starting to wonder but I know it's normal right now for nothing to be constant. This morning, around 3am, I felt the need to try my doppler. Don't ask why, I won't have an answer for you. Even though I knew I was just going to be disappointed yet again I grabbed the device and turned it on. This is what I heard...
This is Baby A. This is the child I feel most often, they are closer to the front and very active. It took me a while to get a video that I wasn't trying to chase them in. They were playing hide-n-seek with mommy.
This is Baby B. They are hanging out more towards my back so they are more difficult to hear, more difficult to find. The only time I can really feel them moving is when they kick an organ. I'm pretty sure this is Jared Jr. with how much trouble they have been from the start.
I'm pretty sure that's what angel wings sound like. Too corny? I don't care :)
this is awesome thanks for sharing
