Peeking into the innermost parts...




We almost didn't have a 4-D scan done of this little guy...It was really fun and special to have done it with Audrey but it did also feel like we were potentially seeing something that we were not meant to see....something so hidden and intimate--the weaving together of someone in my innermost parts!

But my loving husband pointed out that this was also a very slippery slope...the sad destiny of the second child. The first? Full baby book, 4-D scan, pictures of mommy's tummy growing week by week, natural childbirth, etc. The second? One tummy picture and an epidural right from the start (just kidding but who knows?). Anyway, for that reason alone, we decided to get the 4-D scan and it was amazing and so sweet. Can you believe he's yawning? * For those of you who aren't used to seeing ultrasounds in 3 or 4-D, the baby might look a little freaky (and who knows, he might be!), but the distortion and blurriness you see in his features is due to the fluid. For example, up by his left eye, that is the umbilical cord causing the blurriness.
