One Split Second

Today in nursing lab we got to play with those doppler machines to listen to pulses, more specifically the brachial, popliteal, and pedal pulses. Pure amazement is what I felt when I heard that whooshing sound of my blood running through my arteries. For a split second it made me think about someday hearing the heartbeat of a baby in-utero be it mine or someonelse's. It sort of creeped me out.

Oh gosh. Another creature inside of you, waiting to burst out. I'm so glad I'm not a lady.

Those dopplers are awesome when it's your own baby. Wish you had one I could borrow.
