3D Ultrasound pictures

Well, we learned quite a bit about Baby Girl this morning at our 3D ultrasound appt.  She is positioned head down :) and on my left side, facing in.  The movements that I have been feeling on my lower left side are her hands moving around as she reaches her face, mouth, and ears.  I think this ultrasound made it much more real for both of us, esp. Ryan, to see her facial features and to watch her move.  Ryan asked the technician if it was the baby moving or the transducer but the technician reassured him it is all the baby moving as she was pretty active at the beginning of the session.

 We saw her open her eyes, yawn, bring her hand to her mouth, and change positions.  We didn't see her smile as sometimes the baby does during these ultrasounds.  We saw her throw her head back twice so hopefully that isn't her practicing for tantrums!

Her feet are butting up to my ribcage, but fortunately, I'm not feeling her kicking my ribs yet.  The technician said that there is placental material between her feet and my uterus wall which helps to soften the kicks.

  When she had had enough of the ultrasound, she turned to her side and put her hand over her ear and refused to be coaxed out of that position!  The technician had me cough, change positions, poke my belly but Baby Girl decided that she had showed us her face enough.

We have our next doctor's appt tomorrow afternoon where I've created quite the list of questions now that we getting closer to July!  We're excited to see so much family in the upcoming weeks!  Hope everyone enjoys the pictures...maybe these pictures will help inspire her name...suggestions welcome!
