3D Scans and a Placenta as a Pillow...

Our surrogate had a 3D scan today!!! Our good friend, David, sent along and he hurried home and scanned the hard copies so we had them to wake up to this morning. Things are definitely getting tight in there, as evident by our little girl using a placenta as a pillow! She looks just perfect all snuggled in, with her cute hand and chubby cheeks.  And for the first time ever on our scans we finally saw the "goods" -- confirming she was, in fact, definitely a GIRL!!!  I have to laugh because it took me about an hour to realize what I was staring at and then I got a little embarrassed..LOL...but there it was, and there was no mistakin' it!  I guess I'm just a bit out of practice recognizing that body part!

Here are some of the shots from the big day...31 weeks today!  61 days and counting...

We say she's smiling...but maybe it's just gas.





I think the strategically placed text "IT'S A GIRL!!" tipped me off a bit.  DUH.

      The U/S images are amazing now. And video was even cooler. She opened her mouth a couple times during the scan. We think she's very talented already...

      Well I felt a little weird about it and then I thought, "more of this to come in the future so we might as well get used to it!" Smiles back..

    She just looks so snug in there and a real good sleeper (fingers crossed).... in years to come she will be mortified knowing that her "fifi" has been on show lol....so happy for you both.

    She's a proper cutie pie. Great pictures too. She will have you wrapped around her finger before you realise it. Girls are just so bold and forward but cute too. Good Luck and enjoy her! They grow up TOO fast.
