3D Baby Pics

Here are a few 3D ultrasound pictures that one of my co-workers took...the baby never wants to cooperate much when we have a moment to scan her, but we'll take what we can get! We'll just have to wait until she makes her real appearance to the world to see her whole cute face. We're 33 weeks this week. We had an OB appointment yesterday and he said all looks great. She's head down, which is quite nice of her, normally this late in the game they don't flip around to become breech again once they are head first (but I shouldn't hold my breath I guess). We scheduled all of our appointments through the end of April, even for a week after our due date. We figured if we schedule the week 41 appointment now then maybe we won't need it!

We started our childbirth classes last night too. Our teacher is a midwife and she is really really good. Last night was really just about the physiology of what happens in labor and the phases of what will happen etc. We learned a great visualization/relaxation technique and a simple breathing method, overall it was a good class and even if we didn't learn much new info it was just reassuring and comforting to have someone tell you that labor is manageable and do-able!

The best face shot she would give us. She is pressed up against the uterus. You can see her chubby cheek, eye, nose and part of her lips.

This is her bent arm. You can see her shoulder, elbow, forearm and hand. Her hand is up by her face but it's tough to tell that.

These might be tougher to decipher...it's a side view of the leg: thigh, knee, lower leg, foot. It was so cute, when we took this one we could see her wiggling her toes up and down...can't wait to play this little piggy with those toes! :) The second photo is a footprint (the stuff all around it is just uterus and placenta).

This is the side of her face. You can see her eye, forehead, cheek, bit of her nose, and lips. Her hand is up by her face, that's the blob in front of her nose.

Her arms and hands. Looks like she's flexing her muscles in the first one.
