@teachmlr - Hey OP, your full name is visible at the top of your ultrasound. Probably not the safest thing to be posting around the Internet randomly.
@etoille This entire thread was worth reading because of you!
Also, I'm going to jump on the 'rage against balloons' topic. Seriously, it's one thing I really get frustrated about. If it's 'illegal' to litter, how can we just let thousands of balloons in the air for various events? Especially near the coast (like in Houston) where they end up getting ingested by sea turtles (thinking they're jellyfish).
@katydid2014 you used Pepe the Prawn! I LOVE him (and that movie). You rock so hard.
@etoille I am not worthy. You win all of the internets! *bows*
And I'm in agreement with balloons- I live in Houston and you actually SEE dead animals wash up on the shore in Galveston from this crap. Please- bake some cupcakes with filling or something.
Do you guys even know how many air traffic diversions are because of helium balloons? If a pilot sees a shiny object in the air that's not on radar they have to assume it's a plane, radio back down and try to get someone to communicate with the "aircraft." If no one responds, all air traffic is forced to go around the area.
So yeah, don't release helium balloons in the air. Especially not shiny ones.
So this is posed as a question in the title, but then you don't seem to care about our answers. You will get mine anyway because I'm an AW. I have had several. One a month at childrens hospital since I'm having twins and several at those little boutique place. None ever came out all that great because it's hard to get a good one with both babies cooperating. At this point both are head down/face down and I don't want to screw that up (the boutique type places would have you bounce on a yoga ball or do jumping jacks to get them to move) so I won't be getting any more other than my last children's hospital one.
Also, you ask if we have had our 3D/4D ultrasound as though it is just something that everyone gets. I have never had one in either of my pregnancies and probably won't.
I got some 3D shots during my 12 week scan. I didn't ask for them... the tech just did it on her own.
I wouldn't purposefully go out and get one. They are kinda creepy... >-)

I don't know what my life would look like if I had time to sit around making videos like that. I bet I'd have time to cook gourmet meals and keep my house spotless too. Or maybe take up beekeeping on the side. I've always wanted to learn how to do that. I'm going to show these to DH and tell him I need to be a SAHM so I can make YouTube videos. Screw my clients. Those special needs kiddos don't actually need habilitative support.
ETA: not to suggest SAHM's don't work their asses off. Only trying to comprehend how anyone has time for this.
FFSC: i watched the first few minutes of the pregnancy announcement and full on cried when they revealed it to her parents. I did yes but I'm super hormonal and am blaming it on that. But that shit always gets to me when you tell the grandparents and seeing how happy they are. Her parents had nothing to do with their obsessive AWing and that part was sweet. After that i could only get through a few minutes of the other videos because eyebrows!

@chaysefaith they get money from ads shown before the video with the more clicks they get. Linking the video here with hundreds of strangers is definitely a ploy to get more clicks.
I follow some vloggers who use this as their main bread and butter and spamming their videos anywhere and everywhere is the best way for them to get their views up.
Ok. It isn't just about how long they are. These videos are awful.
I made a video for E's first year, compiling shots from video clips from throughout the year. That shit took me weeks to make and edit and I was working SOOOO hard to scrunch her first year down into 10 minutes. And I knew even 10 minutes was long. But who cares, it was only for family.
Anyhow, if I could make my daughter's first year into a 10 minute video (a freaking cute and entertaining one, by the way), why would anyone need 16 minutes for a SEX reveal??
Ok guys, sorry it took so long. I did go back and edit out the links (@etoille I edited the one you posted, too, FYI) since the OP can gain revenue from ads played before the video for every click she gets.
No issue - I still see the gender reveal one I linked though? You may also want to edit the link she posted in her first post that I linked as well (its her only reply).
Thank you, I didn't realize I missed one! I did get that original link in her first reply also
