Lol yay ;-)

So last night I was going through our medicine cabinet trying to find my 3 year olds allergy meds because they're starting to bug him.
My stethoscope fell out of the cabinet and smacked me in the foot (ow! I haven't had to use it clinically as an stna since working in a hospital).  So I'm 37 weeks along, just had my last u/s yesterday (she's head down and her back is aligned to my right side) so I knew where she was hiding lol.
This morning I popped my stethoscope on, put it on my belly where I thought I might pick her up, and sure enough was her little heart ticking away at about 130-140 bpm :-)  my son listened and then decided my foot needed to be listened to lol.  I forgot I could do that :-)  and my stethoscope isn't even a great one :-).

Lol as long as she's moving I'm not to worried, but she was kinda lazy yesterday after the ultrasound.  Just kinda rolling around lazily instead of kick boxing lol
