Finally!!! Internet service and ultrasound scans all in the same place at the same time!!!
Tomorrow it will be exactly two weeks since Deanna was kind enough to invite us to come in during her lunch hour for a 3D/4D ultrasound to have a sneak peak at Sofie's little face. We had quite a time coaxing her to cooperate since she spent the first half hour or so sleeping with one hand and two feet covering her face. Since we know Deanna, we were able to do some things that you probably wouldn't get to try at a typical ultrasound. We had a fun time poking at my belly and watching how it made Sofie move, and at one point I even rolled over to try and encourage her to move her appendages away from her face. Until she decided to cooperate, we entertained ourselves by checking out and measuring all her parts: we're pretty confident now that she is in fact a Sofie and not a W. Orm!, she was estimated to weigh about 4 pounds and 4 ounces, and she still sports extra long femurs! When we were close to giving up on a good shot of her face, she decided to surprise us and let us peak at part of it. Following are five pictures of the side of her itty bitty face...

Clearly she takes after her papa! I'm pretty sure there's not an ounce of me contributing to that face. It will be really interesting to see how much she looks like her "first pictures" when she is born.
The following two pictures are more traditional ultrasound shots of Sofie's face. They look quite a bit different from her alien pictures from ten weeks prior!
And, just in case you weren't convinced that this kid is a spitting image of her daddy, I submit the last piece of evidence...
Just for kicks, a close-up shot of Sofie's nose and lips!
It was such a neat experience to have Deanna give us our first good idea of what Sofie looks like, and being able to have Kyle attend a viewing of his niece was pretty cool too. We had such an amazing time and owe Deanna an enormous thank you!
I just can't wait to kiss those chubby cheeks!
(I did finally upload the cropped belly picture on Sofie's 32 week post as well, if you're interested.)
Look at those chubby cheeks!! AWWW!! She's going to be a cutie!! You guys got really lucky - these turned out so clear!!
