Sweet Cheeks:

yesterday afternoon, this mommy- and daddy-to-be got to see our little cutie pie again...this time for the 4D ultrasound. what an amazing experience!! we got to see our peanut yawn, hiccup and the features of his face. we were just in awe of the amazing life growing to prepare for the outside world. i think chris was even more amazed at the experience than i was! he's really enjoying the experience of seeing his son (and my belly) grow right in front of him. he can't help by smile and tell me how cute i am everytime he sees me (which i never tire of hearing) :)

here's a great regular 3D ultrasound picture of peanut:

this picture really shows the huge difference between the 3D and 4D techniques:

here's a great picture of our little guy's chubby little cheeks...i can't wait to pinch them! the technician said the nose looks a little bigger than it actually is because it's the closest object to the imaging device (a bit like taking a picture of you from your feet when you're laying down and your feet look ginormas):

our sweet cheeks just wouldn't keeps his hands away from his face, but i think i see a few family traits in this picture!!

the blurring you see in some of these shots is his ambilical cord getting in the way. we tried to get him to move around, but he looked pretty content just right where he was:

i'm so anxious to meet our sweet baby boy (and pinch his little cheeks)!!
