Today was a big day for us as it was our 4D appointment. A 4D is basically a live action movie of Elliot in Mommy's tummy. We prayed and prayed that she would keep her hands down so that we could see her face. Our prayers were answered... However, the placenta was anterior with means that it is on the front of the uterus. Where do you take 4D pictures you ask?? That's right, the front of the uterus... So we were able to get some pictures and movie clips, but it had to be taken through the placenta which gave us some distorted (horror movie-like) pictures. So, no, Elliot doesn't have a disfigured face, her poor face is pressed up against the placenta! You can get a decent idea of what she looks like, with a little imagination. You can see her lips (Daddy's) and her nose (Mommy's?), but other than that, it will remain a mystery... Joe the sonographer measured her and said that she weighed 2 lbs 7 oz, which is a little bit bigger than we were expecting... Hopefully she doesn't keep up t
his pace or she comes early, or else we could be looking at an 8 pound baby! Yikes!
Two of the videos are face shots and two are feet/leg shots (with a random hand thrown in there). Without further ado, here is our shy daughter, hiding behind the placenta... Enjoy...
Jennie has been eyeing a picture for the nursery and we finally got it today. She is very excited.
