We listened to the baby's heartbeat last night. PapaBear brought home a Doppler machine from his office - one of the perks of being married to a family doc.
After a few minutes of hearing nothing but post-dinner gurgling, he finally found a rapid whirr, whirr, whirr, whirr...There were also the sounds of a few kicks and a triple lutz for good measure as the baby moved around.
PapaBear did this because (a) he's a star and (b) he was tired of hearing me worry about the twinges I had been feeling. I went at life a little too hard over the weekend and the baby let me know loud and clear. With all well last night, however, we got a reprieve from my neurosis.
Naturally, I started worrying about something else. Specifically, if I'm supposed to play music for the baby, do Justin Timberlake minutes offset Mozart time? Do I need to cut out Mix 99.9 completely in favour of CBC Radio 2?

Re: the music you listen to... Ask yourself this: do you want a child that appreciates Justin Timberlake, or do you want a stuck-up, stuffy kid that only listens to classical? You two can't possibly have a kid that's anything less than highly intelligent, so I think you need to work on making sure s/he is up-to-date musically!
Can I please put in a vote for Celine Dion, Rascal Flatts and the Dixie Chicks?
