On week 29 day 3, Vince & I went to a clinic in Richmond, VA to have a voluntary 4D ultrasound done. We invited the family to come join us. Mom, Dad, Kim, Elise, Rachel, Pat, Ravyn & Cody got to see the baby moving around. We found out some very interesting facts. The baby has a lot of hair already! He may need a hair cut as soon as he's born. He has full lips and likes to push them out more with his tongue. He likes to try to chew on his umbilical cord. He plays with his feet a lot & can put his feet on top of his head (he's very flexible). He is definitely a boy. The technician kept referring to his boy parts as the "turtle". He even touched his "turtle" at one point proving he already has that male instinct. He is very muscular and put on a gun show for us. He has chubby fingers (and shot us a bird at one point). We think he has a cleft chin like my dad. He has long eye lashes.

My placenta is directly in the front of my belly so it shields him from seeing much light. My fluid levels looked great. He shielded his face most of the time with his hands and feet, but we were able to see a lot of him. His heartrate was about 140.

I go back to my doctor on Jan 10 for my 31 week appointment & growth ultrasound. From then on, I go once a week. Only 10 weeks left to go (or less!).

It took me about 6 1/2 hours to upload the video to YouTube from the clinic. Click here to see it.

I'm hoping to upload the live version that Vince took soon, when I have time to do so. You can here us all talking about it & it's one continous stream.
