So we had another successful ultrasound appointment today. I'm glad we got some 3d pictures of him cuz this will probably be the last ones we get before he pops out into the world. We ended up waiting a really long time to get in, almost two hours, so it was good Nate only had one class to make it to this afternoon. There was a student "helping" today so it took a little longer and we go to hear a lot more explained which made it more interesting for me. After about 10minutes I got lightheaded all of a sudden and they had to stop. I guess there was a little too much pressure on my back and I just got really hot and sweaty and felt like I couldn't breathe, and then my ears started ringing. So I sat there for a minute or 2, then went to the washroom, after that felt fine. It was really weird, but at least I didn't pass out. The rest of the ultrasound was fine. He was moving around a lot as usual so it took a little bit to get him to pose for some of the shots. We got to see him have the hiccups. Poor little guy. I was just telling Nate a couple days ago I thought I felt him having the hiccups cuz it was more rhythmic and really light, so it was kinda cool to see his little diaphragm and chest when he had them. I felt bad though cuz he had them for quite a while it seemed like and he was really restless. He weighs 2lbs 13oz so far and you can see a bit of hair on his head in some of the pictures. I forget how long he is, but she said everything looked good and normal so that makes me happy. Well, I think that's all the news from today and lately.

This is a 3d ultrasound image of our little boy. He kinda has his fist in his cheek, but he sure is cute! It took the lady a long time to get him to move his hand away from his face so we could see it. He's camera shy I think. He had his other arm underneath his head and he moved it for this picture.

Here's another 3d picture of his face. It's crazy how good it looks. Just like a real picture almost. You can see a bit of hair on top of his head too.

These are his little feet crossed and also you can see his hand kind in the middle by his foot, and a tiny bit of his forehead in the top right corner. He's all hunched up but with his feet crossed. What a little gentleman!

Here's his heart beating away. This is one of the harder pictures to get (apparently) and he actually sat still long enough for her to take it.

Here's another look at his face. It's not as scary as the last one like this where he still just looked like a skull. You can see his little hand up in the middle too. His face is on the right side looking at you!
