Listening to our child’s heart beat for the first time.

// December 8th, 2008 // Baby

Andrea and I had our second doctor’s appointment today. We thought it was just going to be a standard pee in a cup and how you doing kind of meeting. I was just sitting there getting ready to fire up Twitterrific or maybe NetNewsWire on my iPhone when the doc busted out this little ugly box. Next thing I know I’m hearing my son or daughter’s heart beat for the first time. THEN I’m like oh crap I wanted to record this. Thankfully iTalk from Griffin Technologies was loaded and just a couple taps away from capturing this moment. Worked like a charm, although my first gen iPhone started giving the little device some of the usual interference. Next time I’ll know to throw it in airplane mode then record. 

Anyways it worked out great. It transferred to my Mac super quick via Wi-Fi. Have a listen!

    You have no idea how happy that made me! I grinned so big my face hurt! Andrea- this is what you've wanted since,oh I dunno, 10th grade! You will make fantastic parents. I can't tell you enough how excited I am to welcome baby P!!! All the best with lots of love and hugs,
    Em (Honk)
  • Wow! I'm so excited! To hear that little heart beat is the next best thing to knowing what it is! It sounds like a boy's heart beat to me! Either boy or girl, it's the beautiful sound I've heard in a long, long time!
    Love,
    G.M.
  • Wow. As a dad I know how special this is. Thanks so much for sharing the recording. I'm certain this is the coolest clip anyone has used the iTalk Recorder for.

    Have a great holiday and wonderful delivery.

    Cheers,
