Being pregnant in 2020 was a big shift from the past. OB doctors went virtual for a good portion of the year. The number of doctor visits a mom would usually have was scaled back to only the most basic and necessary. Partners and siblings were told to stay home, or wait in the car for all visits. When the time came to give birth – testing and masks complicated the hectic environment of Labor & Delivery. While I agree with all of the reasoning behind these precautions, the stress of this time was very unpleasant for pregnant mamas and their families. During the worst of this, Wonder Time had to close its doors for 2 and a half months, waiting for local government to determine when we could safely go back.
June finally arrived and we had the go ahead to reopen Wonder Time. We were back in full swing and busier than ever. I had new clients who may have never considered an elective ultrasound before…but were now desperately looking for a place to see their baby-with their families. I saw many return clients coming in, now on their second (or third!) baby with us! We created a new ultrasound package (Quick Peek) – specifically for partners that were being left out and unable to come to anatomy scan appointments.
I soon saw the need for a new space to meet the demands of all of our clients and families.
Moving from a 140 sq ft office to a 2400 sq ft office was an exciting challenge. In our new space, a new, 10% fresh air intake HVAC system gives us more peace of mind about the air quality in our studio. We run multiple TRUE HEPA air filtration units in areas where our customers visit. We expanded our staff considerably and spaced our schedule to allow time for cleaning.
Looking ahead to the cold and nasty weather that we have every winter- I realized that families are once again going to be in need of something that we are uniquely positioned to help with. Drive By events are awesome, but when it’s 35 degrees and raining- not the best option. But what other option is there? If you have high risk family members, how can you keep them safe and yet still include them in your celebrations? Within our new space, we will be offering small scale parties that can be virtual or hybrid. Gender Reveal Parties and Baby Showers with a full concierge experience- you barely have to lift a finger!
At Wonder Time, you can have an inclusive, boutique, private, elective ultrasound experience. We also offer early gender DNA tests, early ultrasound gender determination, heartbeat bears and animals, gender reveal supplies, prenatal and postnatal massage, and custom 3D printed baby sculptures. Not to mention… some of the best 3D 4D 5D HD ultrasound technology on the market, with skilled, experienced sonographers who love being a part of your pregnancy journey. Having only been in business since late 2017, we have over 400 5 Star Google Reviews. Maybe that’s because we put comfort, quality and value at the forefront of our business goals. I would also like to thank all of our clients and friends for their support. Thank you for our tremendous reputation as one of the best elective ultrasound studios in the region.
