I had my 28.5 week check up yesterday and because of some issues at the 20 week appointment, I was scheduled to have a regular ultrasound. The doctor wanted to check for a couple of things again and see if they had changed in eight weeks. The ultrasound technician told us that we could “upgrade” to a 4D ultrasound if we wanted to and only pay $50 instead of $150. We took her up on it.
We saw two tiny ears, a round nose that was kind of smushed in there, and some huge baby cheeks! It’s kind of hard to make out what you’re looking at in the picture above, but it’s the side of his face with his hand over his mouth.
That’s all you get! I gotta save some surprises for when he makes his debut into the world.
Prep in the Big Apple says

When you said you were doing toe-touches, my first thought was you jumping into the air like a cheerleader, lol. I was thinking.. hmm, is that safe? Haha, but I quickly realized you were just stretching!

Okay, as I read – walk around and do some toe touches, I immediately imagined you literally doing a toe touch.. ha! The pics are cool! I am debating on going to the same ultrasound studio we went to, to find out the gender and doing the 4d..do you think it’s worth it?

Pretty Personal Gifts says
Boy technology has come a long way in 8 years!! I was given a photo of a fuzzy snowman. That picture you have is great! About the C-section, a friend once told me (as I worried myself to death about having a c-section) “just do whatever you have to, be open to whatever it takes to get that baby out here and don’t get your hopes set on any one scenario, just roll with it because you are not in charge” I have to tell you, that kept me going. To this day I still think about what she said when things don’t go just as I hoped or expected they would.
Ashley Brooke Designs says
Oh how exciting!! It is just so neat to be able to really see the baby!
Practically Perfect... says

Legallyblondemel says
So fun! Happy to hear things are going well.
By the way, is it wrong that when I see sonogram photos, I start singing to myself, “I see London, I see France, I see ___’s uterus!” Yes, yes – it probably is. 😉
Carolina Girl says
That’s so awesome. I’m so amazed at the new technology these days with ultra sounds. That is so clear! Congrats 🙂

Shawna says
You know, both c-section and “the other way” work–your doctors know best and they’ll take care of you! Just praying for a safe delivery. 🙂
Tickled Pink And Green says
I would have loved to have one of those kinds of ultrasounds. Lucky you!
