Over the course of my pregnancy, I’ll be heading to Becoming Mom Pregnancy Spa, Imaging Center & Boutique, and review the services that they offer. My first visit was yesterday, and we got to hear the baby’s heartbeat!
We had originally set up an appointment on Wednesday and used a baby doppler, but, being that the baby is so tiny, Dawn, the owner, was unable to locate the baby’s heartbeat. She asked if I could come back Thursday when the Ultrasound tech would be there, and that’s what we did!
On Thursday evening, we arrived and were pleased to see my Mother, her boyfriend Kenn, and his daughter Annie awaiting our arrival. Annie has been wanting to see what the baby looks like at this point and how the ultrasound was done. So, the tech led us all back to the Ultrasound room.
Once in the room, I laid on the table {Mini-Me sat beside me in the chair, anxiously awaiting to see her sibling!}, the tech gave the Hubs the duty of recording the baby’s heartbeat once she {sorry, pregnancy brain got the best of me, I don’t remember her name – sorry!} got a nice strong sound. It was a little emotional for me as I saw Mini Me’s face light up as she was looking at her baby brother/sister on the large monitor hanging on the wall. She instantly got excited and starting pointing! That was the best experience so far of this pregnancy! Before the heartbeat was recorded, the tech took two pictures of the baby and pointed out the head, arms, and legs {I think we gotta boxer on our hands!}.
The tech got the heartbeat on the monitor, and we were so glad to hear it! Jason, my Hubby, recorded about 10 seconds of the heartbeat and tada! We had our recording. Mini-Me got to pick the bear out that she wanted {this was her special surprise!}. We took the bear to Marne {the official bear stuffer!!!!} and were on our way!
The Heartbeat Teddy Bear would make a great gift for Big Brother or Sister. If we could’ve kept our mouth shut {if you know me, you know that’s not possible!} for 10 weeks, this would also be a great way to tell friends and family “I’m Pregnant!”. The Heartbeat Teddy Bear is priced at $39.99 with an ultrasound or $49.99 without an ultrasound.
Everyone that I have met at Becoming Mom Pregnancy Spa has been a delight and very pleasant. Once I walk through the doors, there is a sense of peace. I’m not sure if it’s because of its calm relaxing atmosphere or what, but, I can’t wait to go back!
Have you been to Becoming Mom? If you are pregnant or know someone who is, I strongly suggest checking out some of their services. It’s a great way for the family to connect with the baby. There’s also quite a lot of services that will also help Mom relax and get pampered before (and after) baby!
We will be going back in May to find out the sex of the baby. I’m sure we’ll have an audience and can’t wait to share that experience with you!!!
