Today we had another visit with Dr. Sproat. (And Tony was told to be on his best behavior) This appointment was primarily to hear Spraggle’s heartbeat, although we had hoped to get some new ultrasound pics as well to show the family. Unfortunately we knew that wasn’t going to be possible when we were led into a room that didn’t have the required machinery.
In fact the room didn’t even seem to have a machine to hear Spraggle’s tiny heart pumping. A few people had tried to explain this possible implement of destruction describing it as a taser-like contraption built into a weight lifting belt. Michelle was terrified; Tony was looking for one on eBay.
Imagine our surprise when Dr. Sproat entered with a little box attached to a wand that looked like a Tootsie pop. She instantly remembered us. (we leave an impression on people) We were also hoping to get some pics with Spraggle Monkey wearing a stethoscope but Dr. Sproat wasn't wearing one. (What kind of doctor doesn't wear a stethoscope?)
Anyway, Dr. Sproat pressed the Tootsie Pop against Michelle’s stomach and began moving it around in circles. Before Tony could even ask “How can you tell the difference between Spraggle’s and Michelle’s heartbeats?” we heard two distinct patterns.
Let us tell you, Spraggle may not have much room to work with in there but he/she must have built themself a tiny gym cause that little heart was pump a mile a minute. Sadly we weren’t able to capture any audio to post on here but according to Dr. Sproat Spraggle sounds very healthy and is progressing nicely. (We were very happy to hear that!)
After a few rounds of questions, (Yes, Michelle is allowed on boats) we left the office to setup the next few appointments.
