For $22 a month...I'm going to LOVE this doppler!
It arrived today and after about 3 minutes I was able to find the baby's heartbeat. I checked the rate and it's 160... that means girl, right? I'll have to go find a website that lists all those "old wives tales" so we can see which are right and which are wrong.
I just called my mom and dad so they could hear their grandbaby for the first time :) Baby cooperated just fine and they both heard it loud and clear!
Then I ate dinner.
Then I tried finding the heartbeat again so I could call Aunt Megan...but all I could find was blub blub gurgle gurgle from dinner! Guess I'll wait a couple more hours for that one! LOL!

130's are girls....higher numbers are boys....
Heartbeats
One belief that has been around for some time, and even had some acceptance in the medical community at one point, is that the fetal heartbeat differs for boys and girls. If you're having a girl, then the fetal heart rate will be above 140. A boy will have a heart rate below 140. However, that pesky science has reared its little head again to say that this is complete fiction. A baby's heart rate is not affected by its sex until it is born, when a girl's heart rate will increase considerably compared with boys during labor.
