Hi Bebe!
That is the name of the fetal heart doppler I ordered that arrived today! When I first got it, I gave it a try.. and could not find the baby. :( Of course, icky thoughts DID enter my mind for a moment.. BUT, then I do know that it isn't uncommon to not hear heart tones at 11 weeks.. 12-13 weeks is usually a better time (which is why the OB didn't even attempt to listen with the doppler and went straight for the ultrasound) and the fact that this is only a 100 dollar doppler, when the one I rented before cost like 500 to buy. I figured I would not bother hearing the baby again for another week .. but then Shaun, Gwen and I were playing with it, listening to our own heartbeats and looking at the rates, and before I put it away, I asked Shaun if he wanted to try to find the baby?? He said, heck yeah I do!! And after like a minute - HE DID! So, there you go.. don't worry, I won't be using this thing every day or anything! I'm sure it's pretty annoying to the baby.. but it will be oh so nice, on those later weeks when he's having a quiet day to help ease my mind. He wasn't able to catch babe long enough to get the heart rate though.. perhaps next time! :)

Leave it to Shaun to be able to do that. I'm glad that everyone had the chance to hear the baby's heartbeat. Gwen must have been fascinated.
:) I have one too. It comes in handy on days when I'm freaking out.
Excellent, but yea, I can see where you could make yourself crazy with one of those things too. Glad today it worked the way it should!
Yay! I bet it will help to set your mind at ease. :)
I am thrilled that you have one. Sorry mine didn't get to you right away....we may still need ours.
