Maybe this is still too expensive, but I got mine for $30 including delivery from eBay. I had no idea you could get them so cheaply or I would have gotten one for my earlier pregnancies!

I will def. have to check eBay! Never knew you could get a used one so cheap! Thanks!

I am borrowing it from my OB Dr. DS2 was so calm that I was always concerned if he was still alive. The Dr got a discount when he ordered these new fancy ones ($3,000 each) he paid 40% of the total price. Since he ordered about 50 of them he allows some of the people he trust to use them. He knew that as soon as DS2 was a boy that I wanted another one so he let me keep it until I am done. I like it because it has a 9mth memory so if I see something wrong with the HB I can show it to him.

Wow, that is SO nice of your dr. to let you borrow it! I'm sure it gives you great peace of mind

I managed to hear baby's heartbeat on my fetal doppler! I'm pretty impressed with my skills. I didn't expect to find it yet (especially because my uterus is so tipped).

wow thats so cool! I tried with my fetal heart monitor thing which detects the heart beat after 20 weeks and all I can hear is bump pop bump bump. Something is either kicking in there or its my digestive system. hahaha

I've learned to never use my doppler right after eating, because all I hear are digestion noises. Boy are our bodies noisy...and disgusting sounding!

Yes, mine was purchased on eBay for probably $50 with shipping. And nowadays they have the nice HB display. Mine doesn't show numbers, I have to figure it out the old fashioned way.

[Mochagirl]

Mine does show numbers, but I made the mistake of buying one where the numbers appear on the sensor part I use on my belly, which means I can't see them without sitting up and often losing the heartbeat in the process. Big design flaw, but still well worth $30!

My OB is a great person. I owe him a lot in my 5y of knowing him.

[Plum3]

Hope it all goes well PP. Looking forward to hearing about it.

I found a way to drink coffee without getting sick... 1/2 hot chocolate w/milk and 1/2 black coffee! Maybe I can finally wake up and get something done today.

I don't know why the nausea has hit so bad this week, i'm 11 weeks, c'mon im so close to the 12 week mark...it baffles me how bad it moved in on me, but oh well, at least I'm close to the end of the tunnel now....

I feel tired all the time, and bitchy and my DH and I are constantly grumbling to each other. Not fighting, just picking at one another. I'm still pissed that he's not doing much around the house, and when I tell him that, he gets really defensive and says "If you think I do nothing, then I really won't do anything!" AGGRRHH......

Every night I have extremely odd dreams too. They are very real and it seems like it wakes my mind up to have them because I remember them very well. Last night I had this dream about the dishwasher....that I was really young and living with my mom and I had this party and there were tons of dishes everywhere, and I had to load the dishwasher several times in a row to get it done. It was for a man, and I was mad at the man for not helping! (Gee sounds like code for DH!) then I went out with said man to his car where we.....ok, the dream turned explicit and it woke me up, haha!

Then two nights ago I had a dream my DH and I were playing the old online video game that we met playing, and he wasn't very happy about startting over again with new characters, but i was making him play.

Sunday night I had a dream about zombies (I guess this is what i get for watching "The Walking Dead"), as if we were survivors in a zombie acopoyclase, and I was trying to protect my sons (I mean, I was hell-bent and strong willed and had NO FEAR about protecting them) from zombies, and in my dream I was pregnant, and I just knew, just knew it was a little girl I was carrying.

All of them have been very vivid and have felt like I was actually a part of each dream....anyone else having wild dreams or remember it? I don't usually dream like this during pregnacy, usually I am so tired I sleep so hard I don't remember anything.
