First Ultrasound

Went for our very first ultrasound today and saw a teeny blop that is our baby. As small as it is (all but the size of a little bean), we were so amazed to be able to hear its tiny heartbeat already! Didn't expect something that tiny to have such a strong (and quick!) heartbeat!

So out of curiousity, the minute I got home, I googled for instruments that would help us hear our baby's heartbeat on our own and (ta-da!) found an Ultrasound Pocket Doppler that would do just that!  This once was a bit expensive though and stated it was for "clinical" use so that was disappointing.  The next best alternative I could then find (at a much more affordable price) was a Graco Prenatal Heart Listener that also seems to do a decent job according to reviews.  However, as tempted as I was to indulge in one, I figured it would probably be much more exciting to look forward to meeting our baby every 2 weeks for now :)
