A Precious Sound

We had another Dr.'s appointment today. The best part about this quick appointment was getting the chance to hear the baby's heartbeat. The worst part about the appointment was that Cody almost missed it! It wasn't entirely his fault though. I got there 15 mins early, got checked in, and sat down to wait in the lobby.  Before I could even pick up a magazine and get comfy, they were already calling my name. I told the assistant that my husband was on his way and would be here soon. She assured me that she would take me back to check my vitals and have the front desk send him back as soon as he got there. A few mins past 4pm (our actual appointment time) the Dr. walked in and Cody still wasn't there! So, she killed some time discussing my lab results until a tardy Cody got there. When he walked in the room, I jokingly told him he already missed it.  Cody laughed and said, "The one time in my life I was counting on the hospital running late, you guys were actually early!" In the end, the only thing that matters is that we got to experience the sound of the baby's rapidly beating heart together...and what a wonderful sound it was! And a side note: I bet Cody will be early to our next appointment!
