Ultrasound Pictures

As promised, I have ultrasound pictures to share and show off. Lily is still pretty little and skinny, so some of these pictures came out a little creepy. I don't think it makes me a bad mom to say that. :) To the left here you can see her little face. The 3-d ultrasound doesn't give the clearest picture ever, and sometimes parts of the baby are missing in the pictures where she's up against the uterine wall. So, just like with the 2-d ultrasound, we have to use our imaginations a little bit to fill in the blanks. And what I see is my daughter! [That feels weirder to say than "my husband" felt in the first few weeks of marriage.] And she's darn cute!

So without further ado, here are the results of Lily's first glamor shots photo shoot:

Here you can see her little feet off to the left attached to skinny little legs, and her non-butt is on the right.

Here is the "alien baby face" shot. You can see the head on the left and the abdomen on the right. Through the first half of the scan her head was on the right, then she wriggled around to this position.

The very top is my skin, then you can see the layers of flesh. Right above the baby is the placenta. This image shows how her motions are cushioned from me by the placenta. Also, right above her head is her arm. This next 3-d picture gives a better idea of what she's doing:

She's got her elbows out and hands behind her head. Aawwwww.

In these two images above, she's getting physical. Doesn't it look like she's doing sit-ups? :)

Sucking on her fist.

That concludes Lily's first photo shoot. Hope you enjoyed it!
