Heartbeat away

The rented Doppler arrived a few days ago, still unopened in the box. I was surprised I could wait so long, but broke down today. Paul has never hear Baby before and was excited too.

Click to hear his/her little, fast heartbeat.

Wary of the unknown effects of sound waves on Baby's heart, we decided this will be the only time we use it. Although it's considered safe to listen 2-3 times per week, we would just prefer to not bombard him/her. I'm happy to have my little recording.

By week 20, I should be able to hear her heart using a stethoscope. I'm so excited! I'll probably tune in everyday! Hopefully by then, I'll be able to feel some movement.

With each passing day, it becomes more difficult to study...

The fetal heartbeat was the best sound ever. I want a teddy bear that does that instead of one that sounds like the momma's. Indy hated us listening. I think it's really loud to him in there. Mom was here for the labor and delivery and the first 6 days, and now she's finishing her second 6 day stay. She loves being a grandma. She told me you were pregnant. Congradulations!!
