The ultrasound yesterday was amazing! I had no idea it was going to be so thorough. For all I knew, we were just going to find out the gender and then leave, a quick in-and-out appointment. I had no idea that we'd be there for a good 45 minutes or so.
The tech (Carol) was so kind and thoughtful. She explained all the various parts she was measuring and examining, even though some of them weren't as interesting to me (like the cerebellum, or the cross section of the umbilical cord). While Carol tried "taking pictures" of little Abbie's face (side note: no, we will not name our daughter Abysmal. However, since we probably won't reveal her name until she's born, I'll refer to her-- affectionately-- as Abbie from here on out.), Abbie kept raising her hands, effectively covering her nose and preventing a good view. Carol kept trying until she was able to capture a clear picture of Abbie's little face.
And boy, was Abbie active yesterday. Her little legs were kicking and moving so quickly! Quick draw McGraw was able to capture some footprint images, though.
Can you tell that I'm excited? Yes, I wanted a little boy first, but I'm so grateful that this little one is healthy and strong. Besides, I'm going to have a daughter! How fun is that?!
Here are some of the pictures from yesterday. Enjoy!
These are the 3-d/ 4-d pictures of Abbie's face.
And here are pictures of her legs, her sucking her thumb, and her profile.

The sixth picture on the bottom is my favorite! Those 4D ultrasounds still freak me out. Congrats! If i find out mine is a boy we will have yet another girl to buy for :-) I hope you feeling well...Desi
Those are definately Thorstad eyes!!! Markmy word!! Congrats again - Sarah
Yay! Look at her kicking those legs and sucking her little thumb already. What a doll. I love the profile picture of her sweet face and am glad your tech was patient and kept working to get one. Will was also an active baby and we never got a good profile shot, silly impatient tech and squirmy baby. I can see already Baby C and Will are going to be the two kids chasing each other in circles at our get togethers. Ha! Congrats again!
Cool pics, Thor...so, is she a runner or a future lax player? Hmmm...? :) Maybe both.
Congratulations on your beautiful wee lass! I'm sure she'll bring many days of happiness!
I'm just catching up on all your posts...these sonogram pics are amazing. I think it's incredible to see her in 3-D and 4-D, although of course it looks a little weird to most people at first...she is adorable already sucking her thumb.
