Oh Baby, Baby!

Hey there people!  Just wanted to share the latest on my little one . . . yes, the little one that has zapped me out of my energy.  In a good way though.  :)  I recently went for my 2nd integrated screening/ultrasound - - this doctor specializes in the early detection of birth defects or problems that may occur in the pregnancy.  Since my first pregnancy, I've seen this doctor.  I'm pretty much considered high risk probably because of concerning test results in the past, my age, history of gestational diabetes, and infertility issues.  The cool thing about the screening is that I get an extensive check-up & we get to see the baby up close.  Let me tell you, the technology from 5 years ago till now has improved so much.  We have 4D images of my 2 children, but now the doctor is able to capture short 3 -15 second movie clips of the baby moving.  AMAZING!  I would've added the clips to this post, but I can't edit out private information . . . like my name!  :)  So, I'll just keep those clips for my family's eyes only.  However, I will share these pics with you!

1. This is the profile picture of Baby #3!

2.  Here is the front view of the face.  Can you see the left eye?  You can actually see the lens!  Reminds me of the TERMINATOR!  :)

3.  Ain't this cool!  A 4D image . . . see, even baby wants to be anonymous like his mother!  Baby is covering the eyes and sitting with its legs crossed.

4.  Ok, Baby is giving you a peek of its facial features.

5.  And the big reveal . . . It's a BOY!  See the arrows pointing to his "third" limb?  :)  The long rope like image is the umbilical cord.

The ultrasound technician and the doctor were able to see everything and get good pictures because this little guy moved around so much.  They both said, "He's very active!"  Oh oh!  Is that something I should worry about?  Bracing myself for an active, energetic child!  :)  Hey, maybe that's why I'm so tired all the time . . . he's using up all my energy!  Hopefully, this little guy will give his mommy a break to have some creative juices.  :)  That's all I have to share today.  Thanks for stopping by and staying with me on this long post!

  10. This is just awesome!!! Makes me want to cry!!! I can't believe how far technology has come over the years. You should see my ultrasound from my first child who is now 25... you could bearly tell it was a baby! LOL They did get better over the years through number four, who is now 13, but nothing like they are today. What a marvel!!! And I can see he's a cute little guy!!! I am so happy for you, my friend. Remind me, when is he due?

    Hugs,
    Lisa
