Ultrasound!

Two weeks ago I had my weekly/every other week ultrasound and FINALLY saw my little girl's face. I have had probably more than 15 ultasounds with this baby, and she is AlWaYs facing my back and refuses to turn around and look toward the "camera" for mommy :) Stubborn little stinker! So I went in, excited and anxious to see my baby and see how she's doing, and the first thing I see on the screen is that beautiful little girls face! AAHH that's my baby! I wasn't able to load those on the computer yet (our scanner isn't working) but I have five awesome pics from that day, with her cute little hand up there by her face! The next week I went in, expecting the "usual" from: her head down, facing my back - and she was. But this week was sooo fun! I went in and she was facing up and feeling very wiggly (which is not the best when they're trying to get a good reading on a little tiny artery in her brain) but for the utrasound technician and me it was a blast! She turned it to the 3-d picture and we watched her wigglin around in there for a good 20 minutes - til we had to be serious and get a reading on her :) But it was sooo fun, I feel her all day everyday, it was so amazing to watch her doing everything that I felt! I saw her have the hiccups (which she gets at least once a day), open and close her mouth, stick her tongue out, she tried to fit her fist in her mouth :) it was seriously the best day at the docs! I got a cd of the pics and video of her movin around, that daddy got to watch later that night (he was home watching our other little stinker!) It was such a good reminder to me of the amazing miracle these babies are, not that I ever forget, but I know sometimes in the midst of aches and pains and restless nights I definitely have my moments where I take it for granted. But I am so blessed to have these girls in my life. Also I am so happy to report our baby has had zero blood transfusions and is doing sooo good! In fact my doc was very optimistic about her going this far, and going the rest of the way without any complications!

I can't get the video to load onto this, but here's our baby girl! She even has her eyes open!

K, this one looks kinda weird with the nose (the technician said she couldn't clean it up anymore, just cuz of the angle), but that's her cute little tongue sticking out!

how fun! i've never had a 3d ultrasound...looks awesome. I am so glad things are going so well this time around as far as blood transfusions and stuff. Sorry that you won't be home for Christmas either. It can be fun and relaxing to stay put. One of our best Christmases was spent with just us. merry christmas!

oh my goodness, I've never seen a 3d ultrasound that actually looked cute! Normally it just looks kind of freaky, but not yours. She really truly has a beautiful face in that pic!! And the one of her sticking her tongue out is hilarious! I'm so glad she is doing well. Sounds like she was a wiggely worm. Sawyer was very wiggely too and still is!

Those 3d ultrasounds are so cool!! I never had any with Camden, but I want to with my next! I'm so glad that you got to see her sweet little face! And I'm so glad that baby and mom are healthy! Now you just relax and enjoy the last part of pregnancy!
