29 Weeks

I am 29 weeks along now and have started going to the OB every two weeks. We had an appointment this week on Wednesday and tried for the second time to get a 3D/4D ultrasound picture. We were really looking forward to seeing our little pea pod, as the doctor said at this point the baby’s features have all developed and it is not just a matter of the baby growing for the next two months or so. At our last ultrasound the baby was face down and sleeping on my belly so we couldn’t get a good look at the little guy. Our fingers were crossed that baby had shifted positions. The good news was it had and is no longer breached, but now face down. There was also plenty of amniotic fluid to provide for a good 3D picture. Unfortunately, our little one is just as determined to be a surprise to us as we want him or her to be for us because baby hands and feet were hiding his or her little face. In the pictures you can see a hand and foot covering the face on the first and on the second baby did move his foot, and you can make out a little chin, lips, and part of a nose – that is the best we could get!

They said we could try again if we would like but we do not plan on it – if baby wants to be a surprise, we are totally ok with that and just happy baby is healthy! Once he moved his foot away from his face we were able to see his or her lips just smacking away and he even stuck his tongue out a time or two which was really cute.
