Following a Rainbow : 3D/4D Ultrasound

What an awesome birthday! Got to spend the whole day with my little man and then we got to see our little Pixie for over a half hour! We went to Little Wonders again (same place we did the Gender Ultrasound) and they are amazing! We invited our parents too, so it was awesome to share it with them! And, Big Brother Jameson got to come too and he was such a sweetheart. He was a little confused as to what the lady was doing with the ultrasound probe on my belly - he thought maybe I was getting my temperature taken on my belly! But, he thought it was pretty cool to see Baby Sister up on the screen - he would giggle when she would move. For the most part, he kept himself entertained with the toys in the room and the grandparents and didn't pay much attention to anything else! But, I love that he got to be there - even if he didn't fully understand what was happening.

As I mentioned in Jameson's post about the 3D/4D experience (http://dlweber.blogspot.com/2010/12/our-little-waxclay-baby.html), I think the whole 3D thing is honestly a little strange. The babies look like little clay/wax babies. However, for some reason when it is your own, it is simply amazing. I could have stayed and watched her all night! She was moving from the second we got there until the second we left! She definitely put on a show - I was supposed to get 25-30 images on a Flashdrive and they gave me 200 because she was such a good girl!! We got some awesome pictures of her face - we could really tell what she is going to look like. She has the cutest cheeks, just like big brother! And, her little nose and lips are so cute too. We all definitely saw a resemblance to Jameson, which is certainly a good thing since he is adorable :). Lacy (the woman doing the ultrasound) kept commenting how perfect she was - of course I agreed, but it was nice to hear it from her as well. She also mentioned how she thinks baby girl looks like me...guess we will see! I think it is only fair that one of my children looks like me :). She has some long legs and fingers, which is no surprise! We also saw some little bumps on her head, which Lacy said could mean hair - I hope she has beautiful hair like her brother!! Toward the end of the appointment, she started to snuggle up and turn away from us, which meant that she was done performing! Maybe that means she will be a snuggler too!

Overall, it was an amazing experience - really made me connect with my sweet little girl and certainly made me more anxious and excited to meet her. I cannot wait to see how similar she looks when we meet her in 9-10 weeks!
