Successful 29 Week 3D Ultrasound

29 Week 3D/4D Ultrasound
I haven't updated in a while. My hubby and I went in for our 3rd and final 3D ultrasound on September 29. I was exactly 29 weeks pregnant on that date. This was our third attempt at 3D because the two prior times either resulted in poor images or no images at all.

I guess third time's a charm. Our images aren't perfectly clear and sharp due to my anterior placenta, but we were able to see our little man's face. He's got more fatty tissue in his cheeks and mouth. The image posted to the right shows his mouth slightly open. For the most part, he was stretching back with his hand around his neck. So, we got some cute shots of his arm under his chin (below).

29 Week 3D/4D Ultrasound
I'm sure to strangers this must look generic and silly. I've heard several comments from friends and family stating they thought 3D ultrasounds look "creepy". For my husband and I, we were so excited to see who was in there. If the technology is available, affordable, and safe, why would we pass up the opportunity to see our baby's face?

Immediate family members loved seeing these pictures. It was nice finally being able to upload something to Facebook and have family comment on them. The 26 week ultrasound pictures weren't clear and our man was really too small to look like a real baby yet. Now, we have 9-10 weeks until our baby's birth. I can't wait to see if his looks stayed the same from 29 weeks or if he's gotten any fatter!
