Elective Ultrasoundery

This blog has been around for 9 days now and I've posted on it all 9 of those days. That's a personal record. Go me! I hope to keep this streak up. I sure hope any of you who have been reading this have gotten some sort of enjoyment out of what has been  written so far and will continue to do so in the future.

So have you seen those 3D ultrasounds? They're pretty neat. When we were at our doctor appointment last month we asked about us getting one and the doctor said they only do those if there is some medical need. She did say there are some independent facilities what will do it for us, for a fee. So today I took a look on my new default search engine, Bing, and this is what I have found out.

There are (at least) a couple in the Denver area,  First View Ultrasound and Baby's First Imaging. They seem to be fairly similar, they both offer 3D and even 4D, which I guess is 3D but with video, ultrasounds as well as traditional 2d. They both claim to have certified sonographers. So I guess if we were to go get one of these it would come down to mostly price. Here are the two most similar priced packages from each of them. 

So Baby's First has a less expensive package but it includes less. But, what it doesn't include isn't that important. If I want a printed photo I can do that for pennies. They both provide a DVD and I don't need the Babypeeks website or to be upsold on lots of things. So it looks like Baby's First wins the price war. Also, Baby's First is closer seeming to our house. I haven't mapped it and checked the mileage, it just seems closer. It's in Littleton and the First View is way up at 90th and Sheridan.

Well, it looks like if we chose to have an elective ultrasound we would go to Baby's First based on what I have gathered from the internet. We probably won't do it though as we have many better things to spend $139 on. But if you're from Baby's First Ultrasound and would like to provide the "Peek-a-Boo" package to us free of charge we would gladly accept it and I would promote you heavily on Stay At Home Brad and wherever else I could.

And that's today's posting on Stay At Home Brad. I hope you have a great day and a great night. I'll type to you all later.  

eco-Politan

Happy late Sunday to you all. I just wanted to get a post up today so I can maintain my streak of daily postings here on Stay At Home Brad. It's been real fun so far learning and writing about baby related things.

One thing I have learned just today is that right here in Lakewood, Colorado there is a cloth diaper store! It's called eco-Politan and is in the Lakewood City Commons shopping center (which is like 7 minutes away from our house). They appear to have lots and lots of supplies not just for cloth diapering but other things like baby slings and bags and the like. And it's eco friendly stuff, hence the eco on the name.  Sounds like a pretty neat place. The seven reviews on Yelp have all been what might be called "rave" so that's a good thing.

We'll have to go check it out one of these days. We'll also have to make sure not to check it out too often, or we could end up spending all our money there since there'll be so much fun stuff to look at and whatever. Oh yeah, they also have a cloth diapering 101 class what is free of charge. We'll definately be attending one of those in a short while.

Well, I better get back to watching the Sex And The City movie with Amanda. I sure hope Carrie and Mr. Big get back together again. LOL.
