Went for a 4-D Ultrasound over the weekend, and here are some of the results! Raina kept asking why he was orange.
It was just astonishing to see those chubby cheeks, that tiny nose, those big big eyes, the little fingers and toes squirming around. He had his left foot up to his forehead -- crazy little guy! We saw him open and shut his mouth like a little guppy. One hand was tucked under his plump butt, and when the ultrasound tech tried to zoom in on the family jewels, his other hand promptly covered them up. A shy one -- or maybe just bidding fair to be uncooperative like his Big Sister. (At her 4-D, Raina presented her butt to us viewers. We have a lot of butt pix.)
At one funny point, the tech prodded my belly gently to get him to move his hands, and as she prodded, you could see him grimace and frown, none too happy about the disturbance in his comfy little world. Then he smiled.
We came away stunned and awed. He looks so much like his daddy, it's not fair. At least one kid should look like the mom. But there was relief, as well. He has 10 fingers and 10 toes, and we didn't have to wait for his birth to count them. Is technology amazing or what?

I CANNOT believe how clear the image is! What a huge leap in technology since even littlegirl was born.
He looks beautiful....

congrats!
When do you get to hold him? How much longer?
awww. Really, what else can you say :-)
Technology is amazing!
Awww...it so wonderful to see your baby so clearly even before he's born. Amazing technology! And of course, a huge relief that everything's ok. Congrats!
Crazymumma, Prat, Choxbox, Rads, Mystic: Thanks!!
Yes, Prat, we found out it was a boy, thanks to previous ultrasounds where he wasn't quite so shy!
Terri, his scheduled arrival date is in a little less than 2 months.
a muser:
nice pictures!

That is so cool! From posed black-and-white pictures of my infancy to actually getting the baby in orange before he even shows up is what I'd call a quantum leap!
Thanks, s.b.! Yes, it's soo cool, Anamika! Our parents were especially thrilled...
when i got my scan done i had forgotten to switch my phone off. it went off and i actually saw the baby jump on the monitor. i noticed on couple of occasions later that every time there was a shrill and high pitched noise it would kick me majorly.
reduced my phone usage after that.
Choxbox: :) The baby starts moving around when I play music fairly loud in the car. Don't know if he's startled -- more likely he's doing the bhangra!

Hey Congrats! Technology is amazing. My SIL had hers too and it was absolutely amazing.
Thanks!
