3D Ultrasound

So we had our 3D Ultrasound today! It was such a fun experience! He weighs 4 poiunds 2 ounces and has some very chubby cheeks. We got a better "boy" picture, which makes me feel much better because you can't really tell in the other one and I didn't want him to come out a girl after we buy everything in blue! It was so fun to see him, expecially the 3-D part and we got a DVD too.


The bad part is that he had his hands up by his face and one of his feet. Awkward, poor guy. Also, he had his face smashed into the placenta for the first half the time we were there and the imbilical cord was in front of his face, so the pictures aren't great, but they got a little better after she poked at him for a while. In the pictures the placenta is on the right. Yuk. Also, our scanner isn't working so I took a picture of the pictures, but flash and doesn't look great. So, they really aren't as good.
He was moving everywhere and she couldn't get him to hold still. She said he was 4 pounds 2 ounces and all my books say by the end of the week he should be 3 1/2 pounds, so I think he is on the big side. He also has pretty chubby cheeks! He was making all sorts of funny faces. He kept opening and closing his eyes and sticking out his tongue. Priceless!! So if anyone wants to see the DVD, you can come watch it, even though it probably isn't nearly as exciting for you as it is for me! : )
This is his heart beat and his heart up at the top
Cute baby with placenta on the right and his little hand on the left

She said this is his foot on the left but I can't see how. The cord is all down by his mouth.

You can see the cord good in this picture.

Cord in front of his face. Is that hair?? Or his head is bumpy.

Not a great picture. His nose looks funny. But still cute!

This is my favorite picture. It is the most clear and can see most his face.

Still curious about the head. Anyone know?


Just a 2D shot of the side of him.

His boy parts. She said, "geez, he has a torpedo." haha.
