4D Miracle

Okay... so in case people aren't familiar, I am sure you've all seen the traditional 2 dimensional ultrasound (if not you can go back in this blog to see some images from earlier in the pregnancy). This morning we went in for a Four Dimensional ultra sound... I HIGHLY recommend it... It's a bit pricey $100+, and most insurance companies don't cover it. But being able to see the images in 4D (Width, Length, Depth, and Time...i.e. movie) is so amazing. It's another step in that realization that this is real (if Melanie's growing stomach isn't enough of a daily reminder).

10 more weeks to go!

So here are a few shots (3D, sorry no movie, maybe later) from our ultrasound. Mary Lou is one fine looking baby!

Here is one of the baby all scrunched up.. the head is just out of view and you can see her arm/hand/legs.

This next one is what I call Mary Lou Karate Chop... stand back when she gets fiesty! You can see her arm in front of her face getting ready to give a nice backhand chop. You can also see the embilical cord going across her stomach.

We've got a bunch more, but I'll provide this last one... it's my favorite. Mary Lou, naping away!
