3D Ultrasound 36.5wks

Today I was surprised by a few minutes of 3D ultrasound, and the tech secretly gave me two pictures before Dr.Howard came in!

My family has joked about it from the flat, regular ultrasounds, but I really think 001 may have my nose! She still has her hand up by her face, and I lost some quality scanning it in, but still!!!

Our Little Lady

As promised, here are the pictures of our leading lady from her 20.5wk ultrasound. She was not in the mood to have her picture taken, so the only one we have of her face she's attempting to cover herself with her arm.

Little 001

This one got very fuzzy scanning, but it's her head, and her right arm raised.

Foot

(a little fuzzy here, but we could count five cute toes)

Picture Perfect Babe

Today was our 'measuring' ultrasound appointment, and an eaaaaarly day for us! Not wanting to have to wait "forever", I agreed to a 7:20am appointment. (Before this, I didn't even know doctor's offices were open that early!) Our ultrasound tech was impressed with baby, telling us that our kiddo was incredibly active for its developmental stage, and quite "bouncy". It was amazing to see little "O" karate chop, kick, twirl and bound around in its tiny home. When I told my mother she simply said, "well of course, it's your baby" as if it would be abnormal for me to have a calm and serene child. Haha. All is well so far, double O's heart rate was 166, and all of its measurements were on track for our due date! I am definitely feeling the luck of the Irish with us today, and feel myself smiling and thinking of baby, wondering how I'll make it 6-8 more weeks until we find out a little more about this little babe! Torture!

A Glimpse at Baby "O"

Today we had an appointment with Dr.Autry, and were able to get our first glimpse of baby "O" with a sonogram! Our first ultrasound is next Thursday, when we'll get a picture print out and actually hear the heartbeat as opposed to just seeing it (which was also amazing!). I had been feeling kind of down lately, and honestly wasn't even that excited about today's appointment until we saw the baby moving on the screen & the pulsating heartbeat. It was completely unreal, and still doesn't feel possible that we're pregnant. Maybe when I start to show it will start to feel more real! Until next time...here is our sonogram video!
