You know how exciting it is when you go in for a prenatal appointment and get to hear that racing heartbeat that says your baby really is alive and well inside? I hate waiting between appointments, so I got myself a fetal stethoscope, also called a fetoscope, to listen at home. I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time today using the fetoscope--I must have caught the baby just right, it's hard to get a heartbeat consistently with a fetoscope until the third trimester, and I'm a long way from that.
Hi baby! glad to know you're happy and healthy in there!

Congratulations!
Hearing that heartbeat is one of the best sounds in the world!
Very exciting!
How exciting! I'm really looking forward to welcoming a new newphe to the world :)
Hi Becca,
Hm, do you know something I don't? I hope you wouldn't mind if it ends up being a niece :-)
What a great idea! I always love hearing the baby's heartbeat when I'm pregnant, and it does seem too long to wait for each appointment. Although I might get paranoid if I couldn't find the heartbeat...
I think Becca uses "newphe" as a gender-neutral term to denote nephew or niece...I'm sure she'll be happy with either one!
Isn't it fun to use a fetoscope? I always found the heartbeat around 14-16 weeks. The hardest part was getting the house quiet enough to hear it.
How fun, congrats!
