Happy Valentine's Day Daddy! (Baby at 32.5 weeks)

Pic 3: Sleeping

Today for a little surprise Valentine's present to Sonje, I went and had a 4-D ultrasound. They were having Valentine's Day specials so the pricing had come down a bit and I thought it would be fun to surprise him on Saturday with some more photos of our baby. The baby didn't exactly cooperate as well as I had hoped (possibly a sign of what is to come) but it was still neat. The baby keep smiling and the technician said we have a happy baby. In fact, whenever I'd laugh, the baby would smile. One time I even accidently burped and the baby smiled at that too. A few times the baby scruned its face. I watched the baby on the monitor open/close its eyes, pucker its lips, yawn, take its little hand and rub its eye, swallow, etc. Unforunately the baby consistently had one of its little hands up to its face so it was hard to get images. Plus, the way the baby is positioned, the placenta is in almost every shot. The placenta is in the left side of the picture. The technician said the ultrasound machine can't depict from the placenta and the baby itself since its using sound waves. The way the baby is positioned the poor little guy or girl is basically kissing the placenta so that's why the left side of the face isn't visible. The good news...for now.. the baby is already down so hopefully he/she will stay there at this point. The technician said the baby appears to have fuller lips so I think it has daddy's mouth. Also, we were told our baby has a ton of hair....guess it runs in the family. Eric's babies were born with a ton of hair and Sonje's sisters little girl was also born with a nice head of hair.
