My (1st) 4D Ultrasound


So going off topic slightly .. I had my 4D ultrasound yesterday and to sum it up I am going to have to go back next Tuesday. Apparently baby Micah is a stubborn little guy! :) The ultrasound started off great ... I was getting to see my little baby who I hadn't 'seen' since my 18 week ultrasound. My face immediately lit up as his little body filled the screen in 2D. She checked all of his vitals and everything was great ... so far. He is head down at this point and she starts moving towards his face only to find out that his hands AND feet are covering it. She worked on it for about 10 minutes, then suggested I drink some grape juice and walk around to get him moving. I did that and she came back in to try AGAIN. He finally moved one leg but was being stubborn with the other three limbs, so we try the walking thing again. After about 10 more minutes the ultrasonographer suggests that we try again the following week. During that time we did get some pretty cute shots of his legs and feet. And we confirmed that he was boy. Overall it was a sweet experience for my husband and I. I can't wait to go back next week to possibly get a shot of his face! My ultrasonographer, Shannan, was great. She was enthusiastic and positive about the entire thing. Plus, the package we paid for allows us to go back again at no extra charge - which is a relief.

To tie the 4D Ultrasound into my blog theme - I will say that I did hours of research comparing prices and companies to do the 4D ultrasound. My doctor's office offers them but at a cost of about 30% more than what I paid with Stork Vision (if you're in the Atlanta area check them out), plus I got so many more 'bonuses' going with a smaller company and you can't beat the personal service.
