Background Story: Anniversary Present

Repost from Friday, April 30, 2010 the bump blog:

Monday is Jay and I's one year anniversary. Being on a budget, I knew we wouldn't do much in the way of gifts, but I couldn't help myself. I was at Wal-mart today and I saw a cheap fetal heart beat monitor and decided it was the perfect gift for "us"- even thought I will use it way more.

Jay was out picking up the lumber we need to finish framing the downstairs of our new house when I got home. I decided I should go ahead and open the box, read the manual, and test this sucker out! I mean, I have to make sure it works before I give it to him right?

Well it doesn't. Atleast not yet. It's a sound amplifier not a doppler. I'm too early in my pregnancy for it to pick up the heart beat. Well isn't that fantastic. Happy Anniversary Honey. Sorry I spent money on something we can't use for 10 weeks.

One cool function is you can hook it up to your computer and record the sounds. I think I'll record my heartbeat and play it when our tater tot is trying to fall asleep.

More to come.
