3D No Go

The 3D ultrasound on Thursday didn't go quite as we had planned - the baby decided to be stubborn and stay pretty much facing my back the whole time. We got a few glimpses of a profile, but other than that, he/she wasn't in the mood for a show! We did see that the baby has a little bit of hair (see as white tufts on the ultrasound machine) and huge cheeks. Even though we didn't get the pictures we were hoping for, it was still really awesome to see. We could see all four chambers of the heart pumping blood through arteries and we could see the baby "practice breathing". The baby had his/her little hand tucked up next to his/her cheek for a while. Very, very cool. We only got two pictures - one of a profile and one of a little foot. We will try to scan them and post them soon.

We do get another try, next Tuesday, so hopefully Peanut will be in the mood to be a movie star next week!
