3D/4D Ultrasound

Yesterday, we went to Prenatal Peek in San Jose with my parents and Rob's parents for a 3D/4D ultrasound.



We got confirmation that Bob is still a boy - now we can start painting the room blue!



As soon as the technician turned on the screen she said "looks like he is going to have a lot of hair!" Both Rob and I were born with a decent amount of hair - no bald babies for us! For some reason when I think of Bob, I see him bald in my mind.

He was being very stubborn and kept hiding his face into my hip. He also liked to press his face up against my body (placenta?) so we didn't get a good view of this face. Here are the best pictures of his face - looks like he may have some chubby cheeks!




I think this picture is kind of scary looking, but you can see him with his mouth open:

It was fun and neat to see him, I just wish he was in a better position. I guess we'll just have to wait another 10 weeks!

He is a cutie! i love those 3d u/s, they are so cool. Did you notice his cord is wrapped around his neck? It happens to lots of babies and can be no big deal but it might be worth mentioning to your OB. Don't get freaked about it though, my son had his around his neck too and it wasn't a big deal at all.

I want to know how they can tell he has a lot of hair?

Ariella - I did notice that. I figured its normal but still a little scary. I have an appointment with my obgyn on Tues and I'll mention it to her.

Katie - When the image first came on the screen in black and white, you can see this fuzz around his head. She pointed it out and said thats his hair. It didn't really show up in the 3D/4D ultrasound pics.

I LOVE the last picture with him covering his ears. It's like he's telling you, "enough already, let me have some peace in here." Can't wait to meet the little guy.

So cute! When our little one was a few weeks old we compared her to the prints and video disc we got at our 3d u/s. It was definitely the same baby! So neat that you got a peek at your little guy!
