31 week ultrasound

Last week Steve and I got to go have a 4D ultrasound done and it was so much fun. I was a little disappointed because we really only got one good 4D shot and one good normal shot. Baby girl had her face VERY close to the placenta and therefore the machine had a hard time determining where the face ended and the placenta began. I guess she is just getting bigger!

She is still in the perfect position for delivery and has her body bent in half with her feet right up close to her mouth. I loved seeing the 4D images but by far my favorite part of the ultrasound was watching her move her mouth, tongue and hands. It was fascinating to me to see a real baby moving around so much doing real baby things. It seemed like she had recently discovered her tongue because she kept sticking it out and in over and over again. She also kept trying to shove her hands AND feet into her mouth multiple times. 



I love this picture with her mouth wide open. She looks like she is either yawning or getting ready to shove her hand in her mouth again.



This was the 4D shot that we got. I feel like she has very feminine features and I love looking at her pretty lips.

So now we are in the home stretch. With only 8 weeks to go it is really starting to set in that we will be getting a child soon. Hard to believe because even though I know we are pregnant I have a hard time imagining that she will ever actually come out of me.
