A few months ago my fabulous SIL took me to a Mom's of Multiples re-sale and I not only scored a bunch of baby gear, but I picked up my first "novelty item", a home dopler, for $8. It's the same kit Babies R Us sells for about $40 and doesn't get the best reviews. I didn't care...it was cool and I was looking forward to hearing my baby boys heartbeat before I went to bed at night.
I tried it the first night and couldn't hear anything...a little disapointing, but it was still early in my pregnancy. I tried every few weeks to hear even the tiniest "thump thump". My hubby and I were listening one night and a car went by outside...it sounded like the car was in my belly! We cracked up...but still no thump-thump. To be fair, the box says that it works best beyond the 8th month.
Well tonight, a few days after entering my 3rd trimester, I decided to give it another go. Wouldn't you know it...there is was...thump thump thump thump...what a great sound!
I have heard his heartbeat in the Dr's office sevral times, but to hear it at home while relaxing in bed...that's just too cool!!!
If I can figure out how the recording thingy works, I'll try and post a sound clip.
For anyone interested in the dopler system we have, here's the link:

I'm totally regretting not going to the Columbia Tot Swap last month. There are no more kid sales until the end of summer unless I do yard sales which means we have to get us all out of the house really freaking early. We're up so we might as well... Once it stops raining.
