I've been thinking, how important are ultrasound videos anyway. Once the baby is here, you really don't care about the video.
Regardless, I couldn't help but cry, even though I haven't watched it since it was taken. I watched Jacob's a ton of times, and Brooklyn's a few times (only because they couldn't tell if she was a boy or a girl.) But I am STILL so sad. What if someday he hates me because he doesn't have an ultrasound video. I'm already a terrible mother because I haven't taken him to get his 2 year pictures taken yet, and there are WAY less home movies being taken because I'm too busy. Being the 3rd child sure has it's downfalls. Poor Nathan.

yeah the 3rd child should get lots of special treatment. poor 3rd children.
Maybe you should be feeling bad for your 4th child. Steve is the 4th and there are ZERO pictures of him as a baby. We have ONE picture of him as a small child. The more you have, the worse it gets! But you're not a bad mother!
Just look at it this way - he probably has ten times more videos, pictures, and documentation of his life than you did :)
Becca- Nathan DOES get special treatment. He gets away with A LOT! Jacob got lots of time outs, and Brooklyn got less, and Nathan... never! Plus, I have made Brooklyn and Jacob give up their binki's by now and I just don't have the heart to.
Deidra-Yeah.. if things keep going downhill this way, my fourth child will be an undocumented hellion because I won't have any pictures, and it won't have any discipline either!! :)
Cara- You have just made me feel 10 times better! You are absolutely right! And some of our home movies from growing up.. got recorded over.
Make a duplicate of Jacob's ultra sound--Nathan'll never know! I'm so sorry that happened.
Oh, that's so sad. I remember when I taped over a home video of Becca learning to ride her bike. I was hysterical and for weeks cried every time I thought of it. You need to get DVR! I also learned to pull off that tab on the video as soon as I put a home movie on it. I like the idea of duplicating Jacobs and telling Nathan it's his.
I forgot to say, yes feel sorry for the 4th child. I don't have nearly the portrait pictures of him that I did for my first 3. Poor 4th children. It's probably even worse for 5th and 6th children! But my 4th does have a baby book! I was determined all my kids would have one of those.
I don't have an ultrasound video and I turned out just fine. I like the suggestion to make a copy of Jacobs. Make it now and write Nathan's name on it. Then don't give it to him unless he asks. If he does you've got yourself covered.
