nmariean Yes, I am dealing with similar issues. Here in the US, in my state, We are teaching constantly. I suppose that is the purpose of education. But it is really sad when I am so busy teaching that I hardly get to know my students, about themselves, their home...

I have seen pictures on the internet. Many people love them and they give you a real view of what the baby will look like. On the other hand, I have seen some pictures where the baby in the photos looks weird and creepy. I am...

nmariean That is what I'm debating. It is a 20-30 minute session and cost varies. In my immediate vicinity and surrounding areas (15 mile radius) costs vary from $100-150.

nmariean Well, that is the problem. They are elective sonograms, usually done by an ultrasound technician, not by a doctor. And they are usually done after the regular 20 week anatomy scan, which does scan for abnormalities in the baby's organs, etc. 3D/4D sonograms...

I work in an office. I have a boss who does not know how to handle people. He handles them as though they are all little kids. He has them do things that is very irrational, and he does not seem to care about how the employees...
