Well my weekend was fairly good, seemed to go by super fast but maybe that's cause I did very little? ! I can't even remember what I did Friday - must not have been very exciting?! ;) he he Saturday my hubby got up super early (7:00am) to go quading with the boys, 14 hours later he came home!!! :0 Apparently they got lost in the bush even though one of the guys has a GPS unit on his quad!? Needless to say I was quite bored on Sat., I took my Christmas tree down and put most of our x-mas stuff away. Then Sunday was my MIL's birthday so after visiting the Grandparents all morning we went out for supper with the in laws.
On Friday I was on a Due Date Forum (www.babyzone.com) that I frequently visit and they were talking about this place called "UC Baby" (www.uc-baby.com), I checked it out and it sounds super neat! They have a couple packages where you get to view your baby for 30 minutes, you get a CD with all the ultrasound pictures, (2) 4x6 photos of your baby and you get to listen to the heartbeat. And for an extra $25 they will record the heartbeat and put it in a teddy bear that you get to keep! The smallest package is $175, I think this may be something I would like to do - the only problem is that if we do have more kids you would have to do the same for them but if we are only going to have one kid then I would like to get as much keepsake material as possible! If I'm never going to hear another baby heartbeat in my belly then I want to remember this one forever! Another small issue is that the technicians there that do the ultrasound are not qualified to see if there are any problems with your baby so it is not for medical purposes - it is for fun only! So I was thinking it would be better to do this "fun" ultrasound after your real one, maybe like in week 24-28 - then the baby would be more developed and easier to see. So I still have about 10 weeks to think about it.

That teddy bear thing sounds nice but a tiny bit on the creepy side to me. But the CD sounds really cool. I know I'd want to see it.
Luv you!
I've gotta be honest here - at our last ultrasound, we paid $10 for a DVD of it...and once I got it home and we watched it - other than a few times where it was obvious, we were pretty much going "what the hell is THAT" through the whole thing. It seems like unless there is a doctor there to point it out to you, then it's hard to grasp what exactly your looking at, you know?
I'll just bet you could do a sort of keepsake type thing yourself for alot less money. Maybe get one of those recording picture frames and just bring it with you to the next appointment.
We just used our camera and recorded the sound of the heartbeat and that came out pretty cool.
Just my 2 cents - since we've viewed our own DVD :)
