As promised, I am doing my catch up posts here... one at a time. This is from the second attempt at a 3D Ultrasound that we had. This one was better, although as you can see the quality isn't as good as it is in the ads. The optimal time to have the ultrasound is at 30 weeks, this one was at around 32. Also, there wasn't a lot of fluid around the baby's face at the time of the ultrasound so the pictures are not as sharp. Can you tell what each picture is??
First, our favorite:

You have a straight on view of the face, although the top part of the head is obscured. In the middle of the picture is the nose, right below is the mouth. To either side of the mouth are two little fists - apparently Peanut is going to be a boxer!
In this picture you can see a view of the top of the head. The bottom of the head (part of nose, all of mouth and chin) are covered up.

This picture is pretty hard to see, but it is so cute because the baby is sucking on his/her finger (or maybe just tucking his/her hand underneath his/her chin).

The last one is traditional 2D ultrasound image. It is a profile picture, with Peanut looking up and towards the left top of the picture. You can see the eye socket, the nose and the slightly-parted lips.

We have about 30 total pictures, but most of them are variations on the ones we have up here. There is a whole series of 2D shots where Peanut was opening and closing his/her mouth. Super cute! All in all, we were happy with the 3D ultrasound. I will be interested when Peanut makes his/her appearance, to see how much like the ultrasound pictures he/she looks!

Kristin and Tim,
Those pictures are fabulous!!
We never had anything like that--Peanut is so adorable, and I really like that he or she is ready to come out fighting if necessary into this world!
Thank you so much for putting these up!
How wonderful to see these! S/he certainly takes after both of you - ah, yes? It will be so fascinating to see what s/he looks like in reality and to compare that to these.
The first time Alex looked at me, right after he was born, he turned his head in EXACTLY the same way that he had done on the ultrasound - eerie and magical to me. And I realized he looked different from what I had imagined and yet so entirely familiar.
Looking forward to seeing this little baby!
