Getting a Sneek Peek at Baby #2 with UC Baby
Sep 6, 2012 by Kate
Sometimes being pregnant feels like a foreign concept to me – yes I see my growing belly, I have heard the amazing sound of the baby’s heart beat and I feel all of the wiggling and kicking this little one is doing inside. But it can be hard to believe that there is actually a baby in there, growing more each day. The 2-D ultrasound pictures while neat, just don’t do the experience justice.
That is why we were so excited to be able to do a 3-D ultrasound with UC Baby. Everyone in my family is so excited about baby #2 we thought that this would be a great way to include them in the experience. Rather than only being able to being 1 person, and getting a 2 minute look at the baby with a regular 2-D ultrasound at UC Baby with the Complete 4D package you get a full 30 minute session of viewing, and can bring up to 5 guests.
I made up little invitations on the computer to invite my mom and my aunt to the ultrasound, they were so thrilled about being able to join us there were even tears. Here is everyone waiting to go in for the ultrasound, does it look like they are just a wee bit excited?
One of the most amazing parts of the ultrasound was being able to share it with family members who live far away. UC baby offers LIVE broadcastingof the ultrasound to up to 8 email addresses. So even though JAMs mom was traveling in the US at the time of the ultrasound, she was able to log on and be a part of the experience with us.
Baby was a little shy at first, but with some coaxing to wake up we were able to get some great pictures and video of our little one. And, no we did NOT find out the gender
) The Ahhhh moment for me was watching this baby who has made me sick, kept me up at night with insomnia and gives me heartburn, roll over and yawn. It was such a precious moment, I felt my heart melt a little.
UC Baby offers a clean and relaxed atmosphere, with comfortable seating for mom and her guests. And at the end of our session we left with over 75 pictures on CD and a DVD of our entire session as well. You can customize your session to fit your specific needs from a quick listen to baby’s heart beat to the Golden Package which includes 2 separate 3D ultrasound sessions. With 29 locations across Canada, check to see if there is one near you! You can also connect with UC Baby on facebook and twitter.
My experience at UC Baby is not one that I will soon forget, there is a little person in there growing more each and every day! It was amazing to be able to share it with family, I know that these are memories that they will treasure forever as well.
Disclosure: I was provided with a complimentary session at UC Baby in exchange for this review. All opinions are strictly my own.
Love it and so sweet! I've been twice for their heartbeat session
how fun! we had a 3D ultrasound at our doctors office with my first child and it was really funny to see how much he looked like that 34 week ultrasound when he was born!
I LOVE the way they can create the 3D imagery of your baby now! It was such a treat to actually see our little bundle of joy growing inside me!
This is amazing! I would have loved a 3D image of my babies when I was pregnant. And how awesome that they'll broadcast it for family members far away!
awwww!!! I love the yawn!! soooo sweet!!
Those are some incredible images.
Oh how I wish they'd had this for my girls….wow so fantastic
Yay!!! That is sooooo exciting! What a little sweetpea! Okay, I feel like I was right there with you! LOL! Love ultrasound pics! So thrilled for you, lady! xo
I'm so happy and excited for you! I had this done for my second little one and it's such an amazing sight to see. I didn't have it for my first but, to experience this is beyond words. Hope you are well m'dere. Can't wait to see you in October again!
Oh wow!!!!! Such amazing photos!
Congrats!!!
So amazing! I love how it just makes it so much more real than traditional ultrasounds. I was planning on getting a 3D done with Keira… but someone was in a hurry to get here!
Those pictures are amazing! We did the UC Baby thing with both kids and we didn't get great pics like that! Congrats!
So sweet. I always wanted a US like that, but never got to.
Love that you can share your experience with so many people in so many different ways! You got fabulous pics … what a great memory!
That is so neat. I can't believe they offer the option to broadcast live to remote relatives. That is so cool! If I had known about this a few years back I could have made my mother-in-law in Texas one very happy lady.
aw – love these! I insisted on getting the 3D done with ours as well. Technology is so amazing nowadays, isn't it! How exciting and congrats!
Aw – how precious! I wish I had gotten a 3D ultrasound done with my boys! Can't wait to hear the gender!
Kate: that is so exciting! Look at your adorable family- so excited! I love how clear the image is. Imagine that! You can see him or her yawning!!! Crazy. I love it. Very amazed that it is broadcast too.
Look what we can do these days! Just awesome! Glad the family came to see too!
