Our midwife heard the baby's heartbeat today just by putting her ear on my belly. I find that cool.

L just tried to do that this morning, but all he got was my heartbeat. I didn't think it would really ever be feasible, but maybe we should try again in a couple weeks! :)

Yes, do try again!

We found that baby position and ear location makes a big difference. When David listened yesterday, at first he couldn't hear anything, but then I showed him where I thought Baby's chest was, and once he moved his ear he said the heartbeat was clear and obvious. David says that it helped that he got to hear it earlier through the fetoscope so he knew what he was listening for.

Have fun!

I got to listen to Joey's tummy this past weekend...it was really amazing to listen to Baby's heartbeat! And to see Baby move around in her belly. :)
I'm so excited for you!
