3D/4D Ultrasound 5.16.09

On May 16th, 2009, I went to 4D miracles in Fremont, CA with David, my mom and Weston. What an amazing opportunity and special moment for us!! Indeed, she still is a GIRL! I have no reservations now....It was a very relaxing moment. It was set up like a day spa with dim lights, a comfy couch to lie down on and soft classical music.

I was hoping for more full front face shots like the one above, but for over an hour (they normally only spend 20-30 minutes on the ultrasound)...she was sleeping the whole time and either had her hand, arm or foot on her face! I couldn't help but smile and laugh.

Above- There are her girl parts!

Look!! She smiled for us!

Here is a profile shot! So sweet!

Many of the photos taken....the placenta was covering part of her face like this one (above)...the placenta is so close to her left side...at least she's growing and before we know it, she'll be here!

Here she is again, hiding under her arms and leg! What a sleepy girl!

And, to end it off...another sweet smile! Looks almost like a giggle!!

We had a great time and are happy to have had this special glimpse of our precious little girl before her debut day. We are so happy that she is healthy and happy and we can't wait to meet her in real life...Until then...we keep praying for her to be in good health and for the remainder of my 8 weeks or so to be safe and easy!! :) Let's hope I can handle this heat!

Mother's Day & 30.5 weeks along!

I was hoping to post on Sunday, but Happy Mother's Day to everyone! I am now officially 30.5 weeks pregnant. The countdown
begins...About 8 weeks left....maybe less...maybe more??

I enjoyed my weekend with my mom and sister as we celebrated Mother's Day. Also, Aimee was the closest to guessing the name of our baby girl, so she wins! The prize ? Hmmm....A big hug and lots of smiles....until we go and visit her for some newborn photos! Our daughter's name will be Amelia. We are still going back and forth for a middle name. I"ll let you know! Below are some up close 'n personal belly pics as well as family photos from Mother's Day.



This Saturday, David and I will be going to have a 3-D ultrasound. Hopefully she won't be too big and we'll be able to sneak a peek...although I'm just mostly concerned about verifying her gender and I'm less concerned about her features... We just want a healthy and happy baby! She has been doing many turns and twists and still enjoys sleeping sideways inside my belly. The nurse said she might turn head down as soon as 32 weeks,but she's not ready yet!

David and I just had our 4th childbirth preperation class at WC Kaiser. Next Monday, we get to tour the hospital labor and delivery area. Exciting! It's getting down to the tail end of everything. I am blessed to have such wonderful support from my family and friends. I thank everyone for their thoughtfulness, prayers and advice during my pregnancy. Now, let's hope I can comfortably make it through the summer months. Luckily, I just picked up some maternity tanks....Yeah! I'll try to post every 1-2 weeks as I am getting closer.
