baby's photo shoot.

today we had an appointment for baby's detailed anatomy ultrasound. it was SO much fun. it never ceases to amaze me when they put that little instrument on my belly and there's a baby inside. half the fun is seeing how excited sean gets. he doesn't get to feel her all the time like i do, so this was an exciting day for him! sean was really impressed that i could tell she had finally flipped around. she had been legs-down every time we had seen her on an ultrasound and i could totally tell because i always felt her kicking really low. i hadn't been feeling movement that low this past week so i was certain that she had flipped around. and the ultrasound confirmed it :)
here are the photos. we got a lot {sean felt like he was walking out of one of those photo booths at an amusement park... it was a big long sheet of pictures} but i'm just posting my favorites. yet again, i apologize about the poor quality. they are photographs of the print-outs they gave us.
{this is actually 2 different shots of her feet}
{her cutie little profile}
{this one is hard to see. you have to turn your head to the right when you look at it. The "L" in "LIP" is right above her top lip. The "P" is right above her nose. and the "I" is right above her nostrils. her eyes are in shadow. cute, huh??}
the ultrasound technitian said she had 4 chambers in her heart, 2 kidneys, a working stomach & bladder, good head & femur measurements, and that everything looked normal & healthy. the only un-fun part about the experience was drinking a TON of water beforehand and having to hold it until after the ultrasound. not fun for a pregnant woman. but so worth it for the cute pictures they gave us!

Ultra sounds are so fun! It's a little "sneak peek" before you meet. Aria was sucking her thumb in our ultra sound pics. Funny huh?
