Measuring right on track and weighing in at a pound and a half, today we got to see the baby again and today, at last, our little friend was willing to show his face. The imaging place was great -- they took a lot of time and gave us prints and a DVD of the images and video. Yes, video--they did the regular black & white ultrasound and taped that, then they pushed a button and the machine did what Ajay assures me are just complicated math algorithms and it produced moving 3D images.
We got to see the kid sucking his thumb, twisting and turning, and trying to eat his umbilical cord (or, so it appeared - there's not much to do in there). The prints that we got were pretty good, so I'll post those. The 3D picture is a composite of 2D images, so it's not perfect -- there's a finger or umbilical cord spot on his face that isn't really part of his cheek, for example -- but it's still MUCH better than the results of the last imaging trip. From here on out, he just needs to get bigger. All the parts and pieces are in place, so now it's grow time.
