Natalie's 3D ultrasound!

We went to Natalie's ultrasound today and it was great! I really enjoyed it a lot. She was really uncooperative at first. She was facing my spine and once we got her to move, she kept putting her hands up on her face. She also is folded in half, with her feet up by her head! She likes to rest her head on the placenta as if it's a pillow. lol She yawned a few times during the ultrasound, so she was definitely comfy! Towards the end, she started waking up more and we got a few more face shots. The umbilical cord was right near her face, so sometimes it was hard to get a shot of her face w/o it being a little obstructed, but not too bad. The DVD is great, too! AND we got a teddy bear that they record her heartbeat on. It's really a neat keepsake to pass down to your child later on. I love it. :)

Here are some pictures. I have included each original picture along with the same exact picture with an explanation of where things are since I know some of you aren't used to reading ultrasounds. The duplicate with a 'map' of where everything is is just below the original picture. TO VIEW BIGGER, CLICK ON IMAGE..
