Swish-Swoosh

We went to the doctor's earlier this week for a short checkup. No ultrasound this time, but the doctor did take out a device used to listen to the baby's heartbeat. It took a moment to find the heartbeat, but we eventually heard a steady, rapid swish-swoosh sound, like the mummuring of the wind over rushes. Very cool. We lost the hearbeat, and it took the doctor another moment of sliding the listening device over Deb's tummy to find it again. The doctor explained that the baby was quite actively swimming around in there. Also very cool.
