My wife is almost 7 months pregnant. I like to press my ear against her warm belly and close my eyes. I hear gurgling and feel little pokes from the tiny person in there. I try to listen for the baby's heartbeat, and sometimes I think I can hear it for a few seconds. It's very comforting and exhilarating at the same time. But sometimes I get distracted from focusing on what's going on inside that mystical place. For example, it can be hard to maintain my concentration when my two year old is trying as hard as she can to shove my head away from my wife's mid-section, while yelling at me - "Don't listen to the baby!""
