4-D

This week we had a 4-D ultrasound done so that we could find out the sex of the baby. My doctor would not tell us for a few more weeks and I was anxious to know before the holidays. It was absolutely amazing! 

We told the lady that we did not want the sex revealed during the ultrasound since we had planned to do a Gender Reveal Party a few days later with our families.
We had a full 30 minutes to watch this little baby kicking, flipping, and sucking its thumb. She recorded the heartbeat and put it inside a little teddy bear. We got 40+ black and white and color pictures on a CD and a video of the whole session set to music. It really was a wonderful experience.
Anytime she would do a "between the legs" shot we turned our heads and waited for the all clear from her to look at the screen again. She then wrote the gender of the baby on a piece of paper and sealed it tightly in an envelope.
Here are a few pics but remember this baby is still in the "alien" phase. There is no fat on the baby yet so it is quite weird looking. Although to us, he/she is perfect!

One hand up by the ear, sucking thumb!
