Shockingly, up to this point, I have fought the urge to rent a fetal doppler to help maintain my sanity between appointments. (Side note: I think waiting one month between doctor's visits is probably a long time for any pregnant woman, but it seems especially long for those of us who were used to our frequent, attentive care from our REs.)
I have fought the urge, primarily because Matt was so against the idea. Seems like an odd thing to be against, right? Well...not really if you know me. And my tendency to worry about anything. And everything. Matt's main concern has always been that if I rented one, and couldn't find the heartbeat one day, I would absolutely freak. Valid point.
Fast forward to yesterday afternoon. My mom sends me an email, telling me she and my dad would like to rent a fetal doppler for me, but only if Matt would be okay with it too. (Another side note: Have I mentioned lately that my parents are wonderful? Because they really, really are.) Anyway, after much coaxing, convincing, and compromising, I was able to convince Matt that having a fetal doppler in our house would not make me a paranoid nutcase.
On another note, I'm including a belly shot that my sister took over the weekend at my Grandpa's surprise 80th birthday party in Virginia. I know it's not time for another belly update, but Lauren's just such a good photographer that I had to post it anyway.

Enjoy the doppler! Hopefully, having Matt around when you use it will be helpful in avoiding the "freakouts," should they be tempted to come out.
Oh, and adorable belly shot! You are such a cute little momma!
I absolutely love that picture!
And I think the doppler is a great idea. Your reason to use it has been a long time coming, ENJOY every second of it!
Your sister is a fabulous photographer! You look adorable!
I also think the doppler is a great idea. Although it could cause a freak out, it could also help to keep the freak outs in control. Enjoy hearing the heartbeat any time you want!
Can't wait to see the doppler! And really can't wait to hear my niece or nephew!
Thanks for the compliment. But whatever, considering the subject & her cute baby belly, it would have been a good picture regardless of who took it!
