Ba BOOM! Ba BOOM!

My doppler came today! Frankly, my expectations for being able to find the heartbeat weren't high because I'm only 8-1/2 weeks. I heard it with Ben at about 10 weeks. Well, I gave it a try and... JACKPOT! It's on the opposite side of where I always used to find Ben early on. (I guess being the true boy that he is, he left that other side of my uterus all cluttered with stinky shoes and stuff)

175 beats per minute! Swish-swish-swish-swish... Yay!

Wow Erin that is a good strong HR for 8 1/2 weeks. Must be very reassuring

Lynda, very much so! :) It's great to be able to ease my mind until I start feeling the baby moving!

Isn't that just the sweetest sound? I nearly cried everytime I heard it at the doctor's office. How amazing that you were able to find it so soon! I remember my **doctor** wouldn't even try finding it until like 12 weeks. You are the master!

YEY! Im' SOOOO glad 'cause mine NEVER worked. I would feel her move and hear nothing. (maybe I have a different one.. hrm.) But DUDE. That is gonna help ease some fears. Growy Sticky Baby!
