We had our four month check up yesterday and once again the nurse was taking a ridiculous amount of time with the Doppler (checking the heartbeat). I thought I'd heard it a couple times but expected her to send someone else in to check like they did last time they couldn't find it.
HOWEVER she finally made a frustrated sort of sound and wrote something down in the chart and left. Steve told me (his view was better) that she found it fine, she was trying to get a long enough listen to get the heart rate but the baby must have been moving around too much. She even tried at one point to press her hand down where the top of the placenta should be to try to keep baby from skipping around - but cunning child got the better of her anyway.
How silly is that?

I totally agree with Steve's assessment of the situation. I'm sure that they are required to write down some kind of number on your chart, even though the number doesn't matter all that much considering that all of that movement that you describe is a very, very good sign that your little lizard is doing fantastic!
I think we need to start child proofing the house NOW!
Ah..."Leaping Lizard" is a clue! Lenora Lynn, Larry Lee, Lynnette Lucy, Louise Lupe, Luige Louis, Louis Lamar...uh...I'll think of more nifty names, never fear.
Lovey Lotus, Lofty Long, Luke Lifter, Lemon Lovely, Lynette Lace, Llewelyn Schwartz ... whoops ...
Lilly Lou, Lyle Lance, Libby Lilac, Laura Linney, oops, I think that last one is taken.
You guys are incorrigible
Lincoln Lex, Lark Landen, Lillian Lea, Lavender Lou, Lennox Leaf, Lila Ladenna...
Lolly P. Licker, Lawrence Libya, Light Loafers, Luther Lord, Likely Late, Lute Largo, Lucky Landing, Laura Locke, Leo and Leonard Lyonesterose (could be twins!).
*sigh* and you WONDER why we kept the name from you last time... you grandparents better start behaving or we'll do something similarly frustrating!!
