Hubby and I went upstate to Buffalo for Thanksgiving and had such a great time! The triplets are so absolutely wondeful and just amazing. My SIL is due 12/21 and I just don't know how she handles the triplets while being so big! Her hubby is quite fantastic and an amazing help so I'm sure he is the reason she is still going. I was so sick on Wed and Thurs that I was not helping at all with cleaning up and dinner, which is not like me at all. We have only told a few church friends and one of my brothers so they had no clue. I felt so bad I started crying so hubby and I decided to tell just his parents and the one brother and SIL. It was very exciting to share the news and they promised not to share with anyone else. Here's to hoping they keep their promise. I am getting super anxious about telling my sister and mom! I keep having to lie to them and it is killing me. I know it will be worth it on Christmas morning when I surprise them, but I just can't wait!!!
I would also like to buy/rent a doppler but am not sure from where or even how for that matter. I could use any advice possible. Where did you ladies get yours? What is the brand? Did you buy or rent? Has it worked every time you've tried it? So on and so forth. The help would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations!! so exciting :)
I bought my doppler on ebay for $79 or was it $89? (it now is running between 69-75) It is a Contec 3mhz doppler (comes in pink, blue, orange) there are a lot of sellers. I was able to find the heartbeat on the first day I received it, I think it was 9w5d. It took almost an hour that first day as I did not relaize I needed to be at the hairline. I found the heartbeat every day after that usually within 5 minutes.....I still occasionally listen to bebe girl just for fun, even though I feel her much almost every hour :)
So excited for you!

Such great news again!!! Isn't it amazing to watch s/he grow?!?! This pregnancy was the first time I've made it past 7 weeks and I LOVE each of my ultrasounds. I wish I could have more. ;-(
I was also gonna give you the info for the Doppler but look like Dawn beat me to it. She referred the one I bought to me. Also purchased on Ebay. I started using it when I got it in the mail @ 11 1/2 weeks. I waited because I have a tilted uterus which means for me takes longer to hear the HB on a Doppler. I will look and see if I still have it saved on my ebay.
Can't wait to hear about telling your family!!

So happy that all is well and I can certainly relate to being anxious prior to appointments. Try to live in the moment and enjoy this growing gorgeous little bean :) Thanks for sharing and I hope you find the doppler you want to hear this wee one's pitter pat.

Cheers to another great appointment! Can't help on the Doppler, but I'll be interested to see others' responses.
