3D/4D ultrasound

we're still debating whether or not to get these, i don't think either of us particularly want them, but MIL really wants us to do them. personally i think they look a little creepy and this is j's reaction when he saw some sample photos while researching for facilities to do the ultrasound at: "OMG, EWWWWWWWW, that's what the pictures look like?? i don't want to do that!!" haha i think the avg cost is about $150-$200 and you get a lot of photos and a DVD. i don't think it's really worth it but we'll see if MIL brings it up again. it's better to do it around 28-32 weeks anyways because the baby is a little bigger and better developed (and hopefully less alien-like!)

i did find this Siemens study thingie that will actually pay you to do a 3d/4d ultrasound. i think it's testing with their new machines? not really sure. it doesn't really say in the paperwork but you have to fill out a bunch of forms so it kind of makes j nervous about doing it. so that's another option we're considering...at least it would be free AND make MIL happy, a win-win all around =)

I think you should do it it sounds so cool. all the pregnant mommies at my work gets it done. They do look really alien-ish though...
