This morning the littles and I went to visit the midwife for baby's monthly check-up. We waited for only a few minutes in the cozy waiting room before my midwife came to get us. The children played at my feet while we chatted about anything and everything. We went over everything from my bloodwork and ultrasounds and also talked nutrition for a little while. She was so sweet and patient with the children and even let Camilla talk to her for a good five minutes. Near the end of the appointment she had me stretch out on the comfy couch so that we could listen to baby's heart beat. The children always love that part! They each got a special job and she even let them listen to their own heart beats after. Now Joseph points at his chest and says, "Baby, baby, baby". Super cute. Baby's heart rate was around 145bpm.
After our appointment we loaded up in the van for the short drive home. Joseph ended up falling asleep not long after we left. When we got home I gently unbelted him and snuggled him into me. He wrapped his arms around my neck while I carried him in to his bed. I love when that little guy sleeps on my shoulder. He smelled of fresh laundry and peanut butter sandwiches.
After Joseph was tucked in for his nap I went to the couch to put my feet up for a few minutes. Camilla joined me shortly after and asked if she could feel the baby. She felt a few good kicks and her giggles were priceless. These little moments are some of my favorite!
