The past few nights, Jarrod has been putting his ear to my belly and talking to the baby. He always kicks Jarrod in the face as soon as Jarrod puts his face on my belly. Last night, he was being particularly squirmy, and then Jarrod asked me how fast my heart was beating. I found my pulse, and tapped it for him. Turns out what he was hearing was beating much faster than what I tapped for him. He said "I think I can hear the baby's heartbeat." I thought NO WAY ON EARTH! Then he put on the stethoscope and listened... then passed the stethoscope on to me. I listened, I checked my pulse to make sure it wasn't the same. I heard his heart beating too! I can't believe that Jarrod could actually hear the baby's heart beating with his bare ear! Amazing.
