165!!

We have a heartbeat!! We bought a doppler so we could listen at home, and we found one! We listened to the little peanut for about 30 minutes, and you could tell it is swimming around in there. The beat would get louder and then go away and then come back again. It stayed around 165 the whole time, and it was the coolest thing I've ever heard!

There is an old wives' tale that a heart rate over 140 means a girl, but I just did some research online and the studies I read say that there is no statistical difference in heart rates between boys and girls. I guess 30 weeks is soon enough to find out!
