Mark really wanted to get a 3D ultrasound for the baby. For me, it really did not matter. Last week we got a postcard in the mail for a 3D ultrasound package and the pricing was reasonable so we decided to make an appointment for this past Saturday. Miss Lopez seemed to be a bit shy and did not want to show her face. The one short glimpse we got of her face, she had her arm over it. It seemed as if she was sleeping and did not want to move from where she was at; actually her sleeping position was like Mark's. When I saw that arm over her face, I turned to Mark and said, "Isn't that how you sleep?" He smiled and nodded. The tech who was helping us felt really horrible that she could not get a decent shot. There was nothing we could do to budge her. I tried coughing, moving to different sides, candy, drinking cold water and nudging at the tummy and nada. She was comfy how she was. We went back yesterday, Sunday, to see if there was a better outcome. Luckily, we did get to see her better, not what the tech would have preferred but at least we got some shots of her. So here are some...
For most of the shots she was up against the placenta. Maybe she was keeping cozy. You can see her two arms there.
That is the placenta on the left side.
Here is a shot of her sucking on her toe. There was a lot of that :) If you look closely, you can see her tongue.
It was really interesting feeling her move while simultaneously watching her on the screen and realizing what movement meant which body part was moving.
