3D Ultrasound

So, John posted the video of our 3D ultrasound before I was able to type my story. :) He was just so excited to share it.

It was a very cool experience and I'm very glad we did it. We really didn't know what to expect, but we were pleased with the experience.

The video is 11:28 minutes long. Some parts are a little mushy as she's moving it....and when you see my belly 'seizing' or wiggling like crazy...it is the ultrasound tech...she was trying to get him to turn his face or move his arm off his face. Logan was probably thinking 'earthquake!!!!!'. haha!

Logan is still a BOY! (A few people from work were teasing me that 'you never know'....yeah, well now we do for sure!!!!!)

He moved a lot....I would see and feel the kick or punch at the same time.

His heartrate was 144.

He showed us his face...then he would sometimes cover it up with his arm...and at one point (minute 1:46) with both legs and an arm...little stinker...I told him to get used to pictures, cuz we will take a lot of them!!!

In the video around minute 1:20 you will see the 2D ultrasound and the mouse pointing to a layer of 'white'....that is the peach fuzz on his little head. :) Apparently, at least this early, you can't tell how much hair is there on the 3D.

AT 3:17 the u/s tech is pointing out the umbilical chord. (You will also see this as little 'bubbles throughout the video.)

Around 3:43 she is showing.....uh....'him'. So he was hiding the 'twig', but she is showcasing (with the mouse), his 'berries'. (She showcases this again at 6:29)

At 6:45 you see his cute little...I mean, big feet! :)

At 7:15 she pauses on his heart to get his heartbeat. We got to hear it at the time, but she didn't record the sound.

Around 8:10 he is showing off his ear (who wouldn't, right?!?). :) And what a cute ear it is!!! Then he proceeds to show off his baby muscles in his right arm!!! What a stud. :)

The place itself was like going to a spa....painted in warm colors, it had spa-like music playing in the waiting room and in the ultrasound room.....the bed I laid on was a memory-foam (type) with a cushy fabric.....John sat on a stool, however if we would've brought family along (which we'd do in the future) there is a couch to sit on...it is a fairly big room. And instead of crowding around a little computer screen, they have it projected onto the wall...so we saw him nice and big!

It was very cool and I'd recommend it to everybody!
