3-D baby pics!




I've been meaning to scan these for a month now. Since they were taken on 12/1 I figured 1/1 would be a good day to post them! It was the coolest thing ever to see a 3-D pic of this baby. Squirt came along and was in awe as well. It went from looking like an alien to an actual baby. The ultrasound tech even did a quick 4-D scan, which is basically just a live feed. We were watching her just wiggle around in there. It was amazing! Apparently she's quiet large. They estimated her weight at 3lbs. 10 oz. which is above the 95% for her age. My Doctor estimated that she'd be 10 lbs if I went full term. The ultrasound tech was just oohhing and awwwing and I think she even teared up once which I thought was strange. Hubbie said that she was pregnant and did a pretty good job of hiding it but he could tell, that would explain her emotions!

We scheduled my C-section for Feb 2nd. I just hope she hangs on that long! Most days I feel like she's trying to claw her way out. My Doctor said he "should" be back from Uganda by then! That's a really comforting thought. Thanks Doc for deciding to do a medical mission in my 9th month of pregnancy. Really that was so selfish of you! Ok, Ok, I'm kidding (kindof).

I guess I'm having a baby shower in a few weeks, so look for invites if you live locally. I'm not crazy about the idea cause I'm a little old school and think you should just have one for your first. But my mother in law and sister in law really want to throw one and who am I to deny them the pleasure of throwing a party?? So come party and celebrate my baby girl!!

That is so cool. Wish they had that when i was having babies. As for the shower, it's your first girl...you need to be showered with lots of cute, frilly girl stuff...just relax and enjoy!

it's always fun to see the babies in the more "real" form. it's especially fun to share with the current youngest...darn you for having your baby that much before me, it would've been more fun to see who went first ;)
