4D Ultrasound

Last Thursday Ken and I got to see our little girl on 4D.  It was amazing!  We saw so much detail of her face.  She was opening her eyes, sticking out her tongue and grabbing onto her feet!  She was even doing her famous hand wave across the face :)  She also had the hiccups, which has been ongoing for the last two weeks.  I did get a little lightheaded due to my blood pressure dropping so it was hard to turn and look at the screen.  However, we have a 30 min DVD that we watched when we came home.  Technology has come a very long way!!!!!!!!!


The best news is our baby is super healthy and right where she should be.  She is 41 cm long and weighing 4 lbs, 3 ozs.  The doc estimates she will be around 7 to 7 1/2 lbs.  Let's hope she is not bigger...........at least for my sake.  The doctor is very pleased and answered a ton of questions about the labor process.  We also met the pediatrician and we feel pretty confident about him as well.  He was highly recommended by my doctor and a lot of US families bring their kids to him.

The interesting news is the expected date of arrival is now 8 December.  So we will be ready b/w 28 Nov to 8 Dec.  I just hope she arrives before my brother heads back to Hawaii.  She has been so active and kicking like crazy (she got me good today) that we hope she will be more than ready to come out and meet us!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ken's Commander's Conference starts next Monday so we are leaving Saturday for Miami and will be there a week.  It will be nice to be in the states for awhile but we are thrilled b/c my parents and aunt and uncle plan to meet us there.  It will be so nice to see family!!!!!!!!
