3D/4D Ultrasound and More Belly Shots

I'm 26 weeks today, and we got to see Baby Moody again. A 3D/4D ultrasound was included with our 20 week ultrasound, but they like to wait until 27 weeks to do them, so babies have enough fat on them not to be completely creepy-looking. Our baby was measuring big last time, so they scheduled us a little early. It was fun to see the baby again. They still do the regular type of ultrasound, but then freeze certain frames and turn them into 3D. (For anyone who's wondering, the fourth dimension is time, so that means it's like a video. However, when the baby would move, the image would be really blurry.) The baby wasn't super cooperative (lots of hands and feet in front of its face), but we did get some neat pictures. There were a few views that made me panic a little...one looked like it had a cleft palate and one made the baby's head appear to have a huge lump. The technician was the same one we had last time. She was super patient, and at the end, she said, "Well, I can tell you that you're going to have an adorable baby. And I certainly don't say that to a lot of people." We'll think he or she is adorable no matter what, but that was still fun to hear. Fun, fun! I'll post two now and the rest later, when Nate sends them to me from work. (We scanned them at Garmin, so the resolution would be better.) My favorite is still to come...

Ramie - you look great! Hope you're feeling good too. Glad to see that baby is doing well and cute as can be. Can't wait to meet him/her. Merrick really wants us to have a 3D ultrasound too, but they aren't so quick to hand those out up here. Bummer. Have a good weekend.
