3D/4D Sonogram!

Being pregnant comes with, what seems to be, a new challenge every day; but to hear your child's heart beat or see him or her in a sonogram makes the waiting all worth while.  Being 8 months pregnant with no complications, I have already went to all three of my normal sonograms. Still there is a way I, or any other pregnant woman, can see their child(ren); they're called 3D/4D sonograms and are available at many places. They allow you to see a more realistic, or life like, picture of your child. You can even see the little bit of hair on their head. Amazing right? I think so. I am really considering getting one of these done through a company called "Already Adorable". They are, as far as I know of, the only place in Tucson, Az that offers this type of sonogram. They have plenty of packages, but can be kind of pricey, but hey who can put a price on taking a sneak peak of your unborn child??? Any who, they offer six packages ranging in price from $75 to $249. These sonograms, how ever, are not like any normal 2D one though. Not only do they provide you with black and white pictures of your baby, but even recordings and colored pictures as well! You can find out more information online HERE , so stop wasting your time and check it out NOW!!!! :)

And from that first moment...

Finding out you're pregnant can be one of the scariest, yet most exciting events in your life . . aside from hearing your baby's heartbeat or seeing your baby during the ultrasound, or better yet once he/she is actually born. Being a teen mom, however, could change your reaction. It happens to the best of us, but was in God's plan all along. We were chosen for a reason, to become a parent at such a young age. For me, the moment I found out I was pregnant was a shock. I didn't do or say much; just stood there speechless.  The first person I thought about was the father, my boyfriend Alfonso. I didn't know how he'd react, but I knew this all was "supposed to happen" for some reason. Now, almost beginning my 8th month in this pregnancy, I know why this all happened to us. It was a blessing, a chance to give life to our son; and although we have not yet seen him face to face, he is our whole world.  It has not only brought us closer together, but our families and friends as well. It is an opportunity to better ourselves, and better the lives around us.  Now we are sitting down, buckled in, anxious as ever for the long ride to begin. It's a miracle how a life comes about, think about it as two souls combined into one newborn life ready to see the world . . . truly just Amazing.
