This is a good idea for a family project. The RedEnvelope Heart Stepping Stone kit includes all you need to design and decorate the heart-shaped stone: 70 colorful rocks and mosaic tiles, stone-craft mix, mixing paddle, resuable  vinyl mold and design template stone. There are enough steps in this project to keep everyone busy and having fun.

The heart measures 10.5″ x 9″ and is available for $24.95 at RedEnvelope.com.

I can think of a couple of ways off the top of my head for sharing your little “heartthrob” via the Summer Infant Deluxe Prenatal Heart Listening System. Not only can you listen to your baby’s wonderful heartbeat, you can also record it.  Once the heartbeat is recorded you can download it to your home computer and attach it to an email announcing your due date. When the baby is born and you start downloading all those digital pics to your computer, you’ll have a very unique soundtrack for baby’s first slide show.

But best of all, you have a personal way of connecting with baby in the womb. Just think, you could hear his/her little heartbeat each night before you go to sleep. How comforting that would be. It’s priced at $24.99 (sale) at Amazon.com.
