Baby #2 In 3D!!!

We went and got a 3D ultrasound of Baby #2 today!!! The session was amazing! It was so much better than when we did it with Miko. Miko didn't cooperate at all! She kept putting her leg up in front of the camera and looking away. This one was front and center! It was chewing on a hand, then pulled one of it's feet up into view...it even yawned for us at one point! We told the guy doing the ultrasound that we did not want to know the sex, so when he first put the wand on PJ's belly, he told us to look away in case he caught something we didn't want to see. He found that the baby was in the correct downward position with it's back towards the front (facing PJ's spine, in other words...the correct position to be in for birth). He had PJ roll to her left side, and focused on the baby's face. He said he never went to the genital area (which Chad confirmed he didn't because he was watching the screen - Chad says all he saw was the baby's backside, then the guy moved the wand down towards the head and never went back to that area), so he had no idea the sex of the baby, however he kept saying "she."

Kimiko was a big flirt with him, and he was going nuts over her! She kept running to the TV screen pointing at the images saying, "Baby" over and over. He thought she was the cutest thing ever. He was the same guy who did her 3D ultrasound over two years ago!

Okay, so here's a couple of the pictures from Kimiko's session on August 20, 2008:

Pointer shows Kimiko's right eye.

The leg that kept getting in the way...notice that very toned calf muscle?!?!

Now, onto Baby #2's pictures from today:

Baby's left eye...it's hand is right up to it's mouth.

Baby's lips.

Baby's eye's are open!!!

And then they're closed again. Left hand is in the mouth, right hand is covering the right eye.

Mouth open for a big yawn!!!

And mouth closed again with hand in mouth.

Bringing a foot into the picture...see the big toe?!?!

We can't wait to pinch these cheeks!!!

It turned for one final shot so we could see it's whole face! Look at that little chin!

It was a very good session...it actually brought tears to PJ's eyes, of course. We were amazed at the clarity of the images, considering Kimiko's were kind of hard to make out. We are sooo happy we did this!

So, that's the exciting news for the week! Oh! Other than the fact that that big mouse is still in our house...it's fast, and smart! We had it corned at one point, but then it jumped at Chad, landed on his shoulder, then ran down his leg and disappeared under the oven. We can hear it, but as soon as we go moving anything, we swear it becomes a statue so we don't hear or see it anymore. We're thinking about setting up a homemade humane trap (consisting of an empty paper towel roll, food, and an empty tall garbage can) and hopefully catching it that way...but we don't know if the cats will knock the garbage can down to get to it once it's caught. Ugh! This one has us stumped!
