Daniel's First Pictures

Hi Everyone!

We went to the doctor's on Tuesday, February 17th for Daniel's First "Official" Pictures. This appointment was the targeted ultrasound where every body part is looked over closely and monitored for development. We also get a super cool 4-D ultrasound done which captures Daniel in his true glory. We get to see what he "actually" looks like.

Jacob's mom Denise was in town for the appointment so she joined us in the room, as well as my mom, dad, and little sister. I think the nurses at the doctor's office were a little overwhelmed, but all well!

Everything went well during the ultrasound. The technician said that everything looks great and that he looks like a strong and healthy little boy. Thank Goodness! He was a little shy about his "parts" so we didn't get a real good shot of them. I'm glad he is learning about modesty at such a young age. It is so incredible how technology works. Just a little shift of the gadget on my tummy and we had a whole new view of Daniel's little body. I don't know how the technician sees what she does, but she showed us his brain, heart, kidneys, and tummy. By measuring his femur, his tummy, and his head we (meaning the computer) figured out that he weighs a little over 2lbs and is about 12 inches long! I have a foot long thing inside of me! Crazy!

Now for the good stuff. The technician asked if we were ready to see what he really looks like and switched into 4-D mode...duh duh. And this is wha we saw:::
