It really IS a baby in there!!

We seriously discovered the coolest thing yesterday!

I had heard that if you're far enough along in your pregnancy, someone else can hear the baby's heartbeat with just the naked ear. No doppler. No fetascope. No nothing! Just some bare belly, knowledge of the position of the baby, and a willing ear.

So we tried it last night. :-) And it works!!! James, my dear sweet hard-working husband, who hasn't been able to come to a single antenatel appointment with me in this pregnancy, was able to hear the heart-beat for the very first time. Dee-dumm, dee-dumm, dee-dumm. It's awesome!!! However, I'm wildly jealous that I can't get my OWN ear down there to listen. Some people just get all the perks. ;-)
