How to Preserve Your Babies Sonogram Photos

When I was pregnant with my twins, I would get a sonogram every other week to see how they were positioned in my womb. Because of my age, past 30, and that I was carrying twins, I was a labeled a 'high risk" pregnancy.

Well, when I came home from getting sonogram photos, I would email them to my family and friends to see how the twins were growing.

Here is how I sent email sonogram photos of our twins.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Baby or Twins in Womb
• Sonogram Appointment
• Digital Camera
• Computer
• Internet Access
• Email Account
• Photo Album

Preserving Sonogram Photos

1. 
   Twin A Photo

   Once home from your sonogram appointment, the best way to show off the sonogram photos to your family and friends is taking digital photos, not placing them on a copy machine.

2. 
   Twin B Photo

   The lady who did my sonogram said it is not a good idea to place a sonogram photo on a copy machine. With a digital photo of your sonogram, there is less of a chance the sonogram will be destroyed or change color.

3. 
   File Folder of Photos

   Now that you have taken digital photos of all your baby sonogram photos, you can now move the photos from your digital camera to your computer. This is what the sonogram photos look like in a folder on your computer.

4. 
   Emailinig Sonogram Photos

   With a file folder created, you can now resize each sonogram digital image and prepare to send the photos to your family and friends via email.

5. 
   My Photo Album of Twin A and Twin B

   Finally, another way to preserve your sonogram photos is to place them in a photo album with clear sleeves. A photo album like this can be purchased at a mass retailer or card shop. Here is what your photos will look like in a photo album.
   
   Have fun taking digital photos of your sonogram photos and also placing them in a photo album!
