4D Ultrasound Video

Photoshoot - Take 2

I was hoping that this post would serve as Eden's video debut, as I intended to have the footage from our latest 4-D ultrasound up for you to see. However, my computer is painfully sloooooooowwwwww. We had the ultrasound on Oct. 3 and the computer still hasn't been able to open the video editing software. Okay, so I'm exaggerating just a bit, but you get the point. I haven't given up on the video thing all together, but I figured I would go ahead and atleast post the latest pictures.



Our "Meet the Baby" 3D/4D ultrasound was once again a fun-filled family affair. Kendall's mom, dad, and grandpa, along with Jeff's mom, dad, sister, and niece all showed up for the shoot. For the first 20 minutes, Eden kept her hands up against the sides of her head, as if to say, "Oy vey! Not again!" But eventually she let us see her face and we got some pretty amazing pictures of her.



Seeing this one with her toe in her eye is pretty funny. It's hard to believe how flexible little babies are, and how little room there is in Mommy's tummy. Jeff said he's pretty good at sticking his foot in his mouth, but can't quite make it up to his eye.




It's hard to make out a whole lot in this one, although you can definitely see her ear very well.



And here's a leg with a foot attached. For those unlearned in fetal development, this is a good thing.

So, all seems to be going well. Kendall went to her midwife appointment today. The baby's heartbeat is around 140 and she seems to be growing right on pace. It's hard to believe that in about 9 weeks she'll be here.

We start our "Preparing for Childbirth" class tonight. We'll be doing those every Tuesday for the next five weeks and then the car seat class and infant care. I'm hoping they tell us the rules about using our lifelines because I have a feeling I may want to ask the audience or phone a friend when the baby gets here. In other words, for you veteran parents out there, stay close to your phone. I may be calling you before too long just to hear you say, "You can do it!"

Best to all. That's the news for now. We'll keep you posted.
