Beautiful Baby Girl

Yesterday was amazing! I had such a nice day at work! My co-workers surprised me with a cake in the cafeteria at lunch and all the kids sang "Happy Birthday". It was nice to eat cake for once! They also gave me $50 which we used for dinner last night at Carraba's. When I got home after work, James had taken off early to decorate and there was a big cake on the counter. We left soon after to go to my ultrasound, which was amazing. However, we didn't get many great images due to the fact that baby girl would not wake up, so we go back next Monday for free! Because we paid for a package, it's guarenteed that you get good images.

The first time I saw her face in 4D, my eyes filed with tears. We really got a good look! She has my lip line-- that's how detailed it was! She also has James's nose from when he was a baby. She has absolutely no hair. What we saw on the screen was a bit more clear than these, but you can see her pretty well. At this point, I am measuring 2 weeks ahead, although I know when I conceived. She currently weighs about 4 pounds, 4 ounces!

Now, tell me this isn't the cutest baby you've seen! I dare ya! :-)

These pictures were present enough, but I also got a bluetooth ear piece for my cell phone, some great stuff for the nursery from a posh baby boutique in Atlanta, a Korean cookbook (I foresee Chop Chae this weekend), the soundtrack to "The Constant Gardener" (I am working on African background music for the slideshow I am creating for our South Africa trip), a gift certificate to my fav Indian restaurant, and more. Those were from James. I got some great gifts from my grandma, parents, and sister too! Perfume, clothes, sandals that look Indian, a precious moments of a mother and baby girl, etc. I am spoiled. :-)

Ohmigosh!!! I missed your birthday while on hiatus from blogworld...hope you had a great one!!!! Aren't those detailed scans super? I could tell the Bubby had the hubby's feet immediately! The bubby also tracked a fortnight ahead - which was great because you know that they're growing well and your placenta is giving them enough! It also means that their birthweight will probably be good too - thus their feeding routines will be like 3-4 hours apart at first. Smaller babies need to feed 2-3 hours apart - which would have driven me nuts!

Sounds like you had a terrific birthday!!! and that's awesome that you get to go back to the ultrasound place again for free. did they tell you to drink a soda or juice right before you go? The one in town mentions that on their website to try and get the baby to be active.

I had a couple of 4Ds done around 12/13 weeks. I saw a different doctor and he just did them for free, which was awesome....but the baby hadn't developed enough to really tell what she looked like yet. These photographs of yours are awesome; she is very cute.
