Baby Pictures!

4D Sonography has been around for a while, but I only recently experienced it with one of my own babies. I was chatting with the sonographer the other day as she checked out the anatomy of the baby, and I told her how silly Justin is; he thinks he can tell what the baby will look like from the sonograms. She laughed and said, "Now he'll really think he can," and switched to 4D. I gather that they can't tell as much about the really important stuff like anatomy from the 4D ultrasounds, and they can't really measure or anything, but man are they COOL. The black and white stills that she printed out are really neat, but seeing Baby, in color, on the big screen moving around in there was pretty surreal. He looks like a real baby! He was moving his arms all around in front of his face; it looked like he was sleepy and was rubbing his eyes! He probably was sleepy after all the moving around he was doing during the scan! In any case, the quality of these scans isn't the greatest, but you can get the general idea.
