the heartbeat!

What a day! The little imp and I got to go with the new mama for her midwife appointment…and we got to hear the little sweet pea’s heartbeat! (yes, I got tears)
We got up early and were on our way by 8:15 after our first stop, Starbucks. :) The little imp likes ice water so that’s what he got. There is a funny thing about him. He will not tell you when something is amiss, it’s been a strange thing we’ve always dealt with (i.e.: I’m hungry, I have to use the bathroom, etc)
Our first stop was Michael’s to get some wedding things. They were taking so much time getting out of the car that I told them I’d just run in and start looking for what we needed. Wellllllllllll, when they came in and found me, the little imp was walking soooo funny. He had spilled his water all over himself and never said a word. He was soaking and you know what it looked like! So, the sis took him out to the car. He took his pants off on his own and we had to get him back into them so we could run into Target and buy him new jeans before we went to the midwife appointment. I won’t even go into the details of that trip, but let’s just say it was interesting.
We did make it on time to the appointment.
We love to ask him what he’s going to be when the baby comes. He always gets this huge grin, looks at the floor and whispers “Uncle”.
I haven’t been able to capture the best of the smile, but this is the closest I’ve gotten. It really makes me want to cry it’s so sweet.
The room was very pleasant and the little mama, the teacher, showed him posters of a developing baby and made the most of the opportunity. He hangs on every word.
He also likes to copy.
And here is the big moment!
I want to be sensitive to the mama and the midwife, but here is the little imp enjoying hearing that heartbeat!
He started playing imaginary drums because that’s what it sounded like to him.
After all that excitement, we stopped at the new Carl’s Jr for a very nutritious lunch and raced home. I was only an hour late getting to the shop.
REMINDER:

I love all of his expressions, especially the “uncle” one. How fun that your imp is involved with the visits as well. That heartbeat is a wonderful sound.

This was such a cute post. I cracked up at the picture of Imp copying! LOL Lucky boy that he doesn’t have to put his feet in the stirrups! How marvelous that you got to hear the heartbeat…I would have cried too.
And oh no! What is my homestate coming to? They allowed Carls Jr up there! Just kidding…sort of. They have the sleasiest commercials on TV and at least our local ones have the worst service and dirtiest restaurants that we quit going. But it is probably just our area. We live in the “hood”! :o)
