I'm getting ready to send back my rental doppler... . I tested the waters by putting it in its box in the closet about a week ago. I haven't used it at all. (hadn't really used it too much in the last month or so, actually) Too is moving so frequently now that I just haven't needed the reassurance.

I'm sure it was around this point last time that I sent back the one I rented with Benjamin. It was so much more a sanity-saver this time around though... there were a handful of times in the beginning where I'd wake up in the middle of the night, sure something was wrong either because I felt "something" or I felt "nothing". I'd pull the doppler out, squirt the lotion on my tummy and search frantically for the little 'woosh woosh woosh' of the heartbeat. Once I found it, I could breathe a huge sigh of relief and know that, at least for that day, things were okay. :) I know it sounds neurotic, and maybe it is... but it helped SO much.

I think I'll record one more little Too heartbeat before I send it back. (I only saved the one from 8 weeks) :)
