This past Tuesday we had the amazing pleasure of a 4d ultrasound to see our little boy. He was taking a good solid nap the entire time, but we got about 15 minuets worth of his cooperation. He has the most delicious lips and I think he knows it. Kept puckering them up, opening them, swallowing fluids, making faces with his lips and then gave us a couple good yawns- to which Nana, Papa, Nate and I all made ooos and ahhs and melted into puddles. We watched him move around in his sleep and nuzzle his little face into my uterus wall (the tech said he was giving momma kisses, and I am going with that story). Poor boy doesn't have too much space right now, so the placenta and other stuff kept getting in the way of our perfect shot. So the technician had me go to the bathroom to make more room for him and see if it helped. When I came back, little boy decided he was going to take full advantage of his extra space and turned over giving us just his back and booty. And that was all he would give us from that point forward. He was done with photos (hmmm, trait from his father possibly?).
I guess the 4d's can produce better images than we got, but seeing as how we had no expectations on this new experience, we were all as happy as could be. I am convinced he looks just like his Father (as I have known he would), and even Nana quickly expressed how he has features from their family. The 4d made me even MORE anxious about meeting that sweet face. Now I feel like I have an idea of what he will look like, but only broad guidelines, so I keep trying to fill in the blanks, imagining what my baby is going to look like. I have loved spending the past 28 weeks with this little man and can't wait to meet him in just 12 more. His Dad and I are so in love.
