4D ultrasound

Meet Aubriella Joy! From what we saw, she has the cutest little nose, very defined pouty lips, and chubby cheeks! The technician also said she can tell she has hair (no surprise there!). Just like I imagine her to be based on her kicks, she is laid back and peaceful. She seems to like to cuddle my placenta and stick close to the uterine wall (she just likes being close to her mama!). We actually got to go twice because the first time she had the umbilical cord in front of her face (which is why the picture is slightly distorted) and had her hand on her head. Since she kept cuddling up against the uterus, there wasn't many very clean shots. We were happy with what we saw, but the tech said she would like to try again. So the next week we returned, only to find Baby Ellie folded up like a pretzel! She had her hands and feet in her face, and seemed to be content staying in a tight little ball. We still had a great time "seeing" her and it has made us even more anxious to meet her in 4-9 weeks (I know a big range!).
