3D Ultrasound!!!

Ok, so let me start by saying that it wasn't as creepy as I thought it was going to be. I mean, it's still creepy to see the face of my baby before she is born but it wasn't that bad. Now I'm anxious to see what similarities I will find between her and the pictures.

We went to Womb With a View on Saturday, September 24th to have the ultrasound done. My husband, mother and nephew went with. My nephew is 9 and he was very excited to see his 'alien cousin', as he kept calling her. It was a cute place and the two women who helped us were very nice and very easy going. It was very relaxing just like the website said it would be. They have lot of package options to choose from.

So once we filled out the paperwork and chose our package, we headed back to the ultrasound room. It was almost like a living room. It had a nice sized couch and some chairs that faced a big screen TV so that everyone could watch. There were a bunch of toys on the floor too so after my nephew got bored, he had something to do!

They started with the heartbeat, which was 150. I had been drinking orange juice to ensure that she would be moving for us so the heartbeat was a little higher than it has been. But the orange juice worked because she was moving a lot!

Here are some of the pictures:

The first thing she did was verify the gender. I'm not even going to try to explain it the way that she did but it's a girl!



She kept her hand in front of her face the whole time so we never got a clear shot but we did get some great profile shots and at least we know she has 5 fingers on her left hand!





She yawned a lot...







And of course she wouldn't be my little girl if she didn't flip us off!



I got a DVD with the package I chose but I was a little disappointed with that. It shows all of the movement, which is cool, but it also shows every time she took a picture or moved the mouse. It's still a neat thing to watch I just wish they could have taken out the mouse movement and picture taking.

They also gave a bunch of freebies for parenting classes and things like that. And we got a really cute knitted hat and blanket for free!

Overall, I'm glad I did it. I'm glad we got the gender verification because now I can finish my registry and plan the nursery. It was cool to see all of her features and now I can't wait to see how the pictures compare to her in real life!

    Awe, that little yawn is the best picture ever! These 3d ultrasound baby pictures gives you such a better view of your baby. I'm thinking about getting some of these for our baby. I just noticed the flipping off picture, and I couldn't stop laughing! Really awesome ultrasound pictures.

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
