So excited!!

[banneyrooster]

  After losing Payton last year this pregnancy hasnt really seemed that real.  Feeling Nicholas move everyday just give me that reassurance I need though.  I am so thankful to God that things have went so well with this pregnancy after my scare.  (Finding out the same thing was happening with this pregnancy as it did with Payton but luckily it was caught in time)

  Today I am SO excited!  In 3 more hours we are going in for my 3-4D Ultrasound!  I cant wait to see what Nicholas looks like!  It was alittle expensive but I sure wish I would have had this done with Payton.  I had it done with my 3 year old but I was 36 weeks, just 3 days before he was born, and he was all scrunched up and so big he was hard to see.  This time I am having it done between the weeks they say is the best to have it done.  Anyway, its a place called Prenatal Picture which you can few on the web.  One person can go back with you but many more can come and sit in a room, really comfortable atmosphere, and watch the whole ultrasound over a big prejection TV.  My 2 dd's are going, all 3 of my sons, my dd's boyfriend, and my dh of course.  Hes at work but meeting me there since he works not far from it. 

  The kids are really excited to get to go.  They didnt get to go to my 19 week ultrasound due to no kids allowed.  Only me and dh went to that one.  They cant wait to meet Nicholas either.

   With this package I am having done you get a diaper bag full of things, coupons, samples, and other things.  You get 10 black and white photos,  of the 3-4D pictures, a CD which has all the images on it so you can take it and have more done of different sizes if you want, plus while they are doing the u/s they can email it to your friends or family so they can watch it over the internet!!  Pretty neat uh? Oh, and you get a coupon for 25% off your next visit if you want to come back a few months later. You get a movie also.  Its 30 minutes long of the whole ultrasound, even baby in motion shots, played with lulaby music!  They take 30-50 pictures of the baby but you get ten, the others are on the CD if you want to print them out yourself, or take them somewhere to have them printed.  There are packages that cost more where you get 4 or 5 color pictures but they go up like $60 more and as long as I have the CD I can print them myself.  They said they charge you the extra cause of "ink" for the color pics but I dont see it costing $60 for 4 or 5 pics but anyway its their business.  Theres a few more things you get, I cant remember, but its worth the $120 I am spending!!  Just for the memories.

  My mom doesnt understand, shes like, "$120!"  "Just see the baby when hes born"  But these are times you cant get back.  Times you will cherish ya know?  As I said, I sure wish I would have had this with Payton!  I miss her so much and this would have been pics where she was "alive", "moving", etc.  Not like the pics I have of her now, passed away, not moving, not breathing, etc.  I have mostly sad pictures of her it would be nice to have some of her during her time of living.  And $120 is a small amount to pay for such memories.  We blow that on going out and eating a few times! LOL

  The best part is, if your baby is turned and they cant get no face pics they let you walk around, move around, etc., to try to get the baby to move.  Up to an hour.  If the baby stays there they will reschedule you for another day to come back, if you prefer.  I hope lil Nicholas cooperates cause I dont want to come back! LOL  But we will see!

  For now I need to go get ready, get all the kids ready and get busy!  A have a big day ahead of me!
