Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

if the shell is thin, like in babies, you can see the heart beating, so you can just count it over 30 seconds or a minute.

ok.... i think it was 55 a minute. give or take a few heartbeats, i had to keep glancing at the clock to keep the time. then brian was too cute to put down so now hes on my hand, and im typing with 1 hand! by the way, i was holding him up by his shell in the air the whole time. uh oh.... hes halfway up my arm!

ok... just did dianna and FORGOT HER TIME!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! so i will do it again. But what i did notice was that her heartbeat would be going normal, then slow down loads, then go normal, then slow down.....
Her heart beat is 42, but last time it was much faster...
