Baby Kick!
Now the baby has discovered the monitors resting on his personal space and is having fun kicking them. We still hear his heartbeat in the background but now it’s drowned out by the rhythmic thuds of his kicking. It’s making some pretty funky patterns on his heart rate graph :-)
Doctor Update
We’ve seen Dr. Cole, who is very nice (and went to NCSSM!), and things are moving along and looking the baby is coming sometime tomorrow. So Sarah and I are just hanging out and watching TV. It’s kind of like sitting around a hotel room…a hotel room with the tell-tale thudding of a baby heart! DA da dummm!
At the Hospital!

Sarah and I are in our room in Durham Regional Hospital. It’s actually quite spacious and nice, lots of nice touches and wood accents. Soothing by design to be sure, except for the woman who was rather vocally giving birth a few rooms away. Rather disconcerting but luckily we arrived at the very end and I got to hear a baby’s little cry shortly afterward.
It’s a nice stormy day for Sarah’s birthday and the approaching birth of our cuddly baby boy. We’re finally down to the wire and parenthood is right around the corner! I’m wound up and running on a sleepless night and nothing but excited.

We just had a visit from the nurse who got all the monitors setup. Now we can hear baby’s heartbeat which is hovering around between 125 and 142 and watch the pretty graphs go by. His heartrate shoots up to the 160s and 170s when he wiggles around, so cute! Everything with Sarah and the baby looks right on target. A doctor is supposed to check in with us soon.
