4D UltraWOW

Yesterday I was able to have my 4d targeted ultrasound.  It is the ultrasound where they check all the organs, bone lengths, brain, etc. for the baby.  I was very excited!  Until now we haven't been able to get a good side profile, baby Owen had not been cooperating at all.  So I was hoping this time would be a success.  It was so fun to watch him swimming around in there and punching me- yes apparently most of the bumps and jumps I feel in there are from him punching me.  I was laughing so hard when I saw his little arms punching like he was a lil fetus boxer.  His legs were up by his head the entire time and his arms were for most of the time as well.  I was getting worried that we wouldn't be able to get a good face shot.  But at the end the ultrasound tech decided that she would do some tappety taps and maneuver that guy so we could get a clear view.  I told her to, "Show him who's boss" and that is what she did.  We got some amazing shots and I got a little teary, it being the first time I had seen his face and all.  What an amazing thing it is to be able to peek inside there and see our little man before he comes out.  I am glad to report that he is healthy and strong and growing fast!  He now weighs 1 LB 7 OZ and is measuring about a week big.  We can't wait to meet this little guy!

Same situation except he is grabbing his foot :)  You can see his little knee on the left.

From these pictures we have decided that he looks like his sister and we couldn't be more excited!


Then there's me, I am 23 weeks now and I have finally started to pop.  Check out that bump :)  I am feeling great and am no longer nauseous.  Now I will enjoy the time until I am huge, achy and uncomfortable... let's pray that I don't get as swollen as last time... so far so good. {knock on wood}

Sorry about the self portraits, it is hard to find a time where I am looking ok and there is someone around to take it... maybe I should train Lola how to take a picture ha ha

  1. I think that 4d ultrasound is cool. Ultrasound pictures use to really terrify me haha. Owen seriously looks identical to Lola in that profile one. How exciting!
