Sweet Melodies!!

My doctor could set-up an emergency appointment for me; so we had gone to see her. Though I was feeling less hot as finally at around 3:00 a.m. DH had forced a crocin tablet down my throat despite all my protests that I won't take anything not prescribed my doctor. I guess, he was equally tired of me tossing on the floor. Nevertheless, I still was feeling very tired and my eyes were still burning and felt like red burning coal!!

Poor hubby!! He got a scolding from the assistant - ha ha!! No, not for giving me tablet, but for assuming that I have a temperature! Yeah, we got to know that the pregnant women do feel hotter than they would normally have as a whole human is building up inside!! Hmm.. at least I was right that it's my tadpole's doing ;o)

Enter the doctor, and she looks at my tired face, asks me to lie down, uncovers my belly and starts the check-up. She has a instrument in her hand and all I can hear is a loud rumbling like a thunderstorm or something. "Oh!oh! I did have a clear potty in the morning! Do I have such a bad stomach? Is that the reason that I feel so awful!!" these are the thoughts that went across my head all at the same time as I look from Uttam's face to the doctor's to the instrument. I am still looking at my doctor's face trying to figure out what she would say, when suddenly I hear my DH's thrilled voice, "Baby's heartbeat!!!" and I see a smile breaking on her face as she removes the instrument, equally excited that one of us could decipher that. And I find myself shouting, "Please I want to hear that again. Is that what it was?" as I again look at both theirs smiling nodding faces. ("Oh!Ohh!! Why do these guys want me to keep out of it!!") and as I feel the instrument back on my tummy, almost instantly, I can make out the distinct sound this time and believe me, never heard anything more melodious than this. It sounded like "buh buh.. buh buh.. buh buh".. lots faster than ours!!(Doctor said it was around 140 per minute.. almost our double!!) And I could hear myself saying, "WOW! That’s my baby!!" as all three of us were smiling ear to ear!! It was more thrilling to hear than either reading or writing... take my words for it!! I can still hear it distinctly in my ears. I hope I am able to record it the next time.Oh, and yes, I was still feeling unwell and this time (surprisingly), doctor agreed that I look pathetic and need some rest and gave me a week off from work. That means a week off for DH too or at least, he will have to work from home. I am not feeling well, you see... ;-))
