4D Ultrasound

Today Chris and I went to our 4D ultrasound for Miss Caroline. We had a bit of a hard time getting pictures of her since she is STILL in the breech position(and she is frank breech, with her legs up above her head, which is stuck up under my ribcage). We spent most of the office visit poking at her trying to wake her up and get her to move her hand away from her face. We were able to get a few cute shots after enough time... it was WONDERFUL to see our daughter. I may be a bit bias, but I already think she is precious and has some sweet little features. Here she is... our Caroline:


The smudge over to the right is her umbilical cord/hand. Where did those big, pouty lips come from?? In the picture below she's sticking her bottom lip out like her mommy does;-) Look at those chunky cheeks!!!


Look at her fussing at us! Giving us attitude already! I think she wanted us to stop poking her... we were trying to make her move so we could get better pictures!!!
Mean Mommy and Daddy!;-)
This is the shot where we could really tell that she has Chris' nose. The right side of her face is covered up, but you can see her sweet nose and lips and how she was cuddling up with her hand.=)

The last two pictures are of her hand and both of her feet. She had all 10 fingers and 10 toes! She has long, skinny fingers and toes, just like her Mommy!

We measured her to see how she was doing size wise. She was weighing around 3 lb 12 oz(give or take a pound) and is measuring around 5 days behind. The ultrasound tech said that was a bit smaller than normal but still in the healthy range and probably puts her weighing in around 6 pounds when she's born. Of course, if she remains breech her size won't matter as much because I will need to have a c-section anyway. Only time will tell!!!

The only thing that we forgot to ask about is hair! She told us she could look on the 2D view but we were busy taking cute face shots and never got back to the 2D to check out hair. Oh well!!! We hope you enjoy the pictures of our little one! I have to admit that I am even more excited about meeting her now=)
