3D/4D Ultrasound





So we are at 30 weeks now. Wow, how time flies! We had an exciting day today. This morning we visited the OBGYN for a routine checkup. Everything looks great. April is feeling good and all of her tests have come back "textbook". We are very thankful for a healthy growing little girl.

This afternoon we visited a prenatal imaging company in Greensboro called Tiny Toes. We had a 3D/4D ultrasound and got to see Henley's beautiful little face for the first time. It was such a great experience. She was shy at first. She kept her arms in front of her face for the first 10 minutes despite the fact that April drank half a Mountain Dew before the appointment to get her moving. She was deep in sleep and didn't want to be woken up -- sounds like her mother to me!

After some repositioning and more Mountain Dew she finally showed us her face.

We think she has my nose, ears, and face shape and April's chin and lips. The sonographer said some of the parts will look out of proportion in the ultrasound, particularly the nose and lips. This is due to the angles used to take the pictures and the tight living quarters. I guess we will have to see what she really looks like once she arrives.

We can't wait to meet you Henley Elizabeth...we are counting down the days!
