in the convenience of our own home

As mentioned earlier, my mom was down on Wednesday. As you can predict, we ended up at BRU where she found a Prenatal Heart Listener. I must admit, I thought she was crazy.

But it works.

We tried it on Wednesday with no luck… just hungry Jen sounds… then yesterday I had the washing machine going and that was just about all I could hear from my belly. Strange when you think of it… the washing machine sounds emenating from my body. Well, today I had the room absolutely quiet and … I found it! I actually heard the baby’s heartbeat for about 5 minutes! Dave came home and got to hear it too!

I like that this is not a doppler. It’s a kind of stethoscope deal that amplifies the sounds it picks up and transmits them through a headset. Waay cool.

Thanks, mom K., for your generosity!
