3-D Ultra Sound: The Ultimate Experience


Above is a 3-D image of our baby girl. You can see her face, nose, and even lips.  If you look closely, her hand is in front of her chin in a fist.

This afternoon John and I were privileged to have a 3-D ultra sound. The ultra sound itself lasted about 13 1/2 minutes. The 3-D imaging was absolutely amazing. The fact that sound waves can give us a 3-D  picture of our unborn child is simply incredible. From the ultra sound, we learned that the baby's organs are all growing appropriately and that she currently weighs 1 pound 4 ounces. Her precious little Colby leg is about 4 inches long. I say Colby leg because the Colbys have huge muscly calves. Hers definitely looked like it was going to be a Colby calf. : )  We feel so grateful for this little, healthy girl. She is already so beautiful and such a wonderful blessing to our lives. As a soon-to-be-mother, all I can say is that I am humbled God granted me this gift to nurture, teach, learn from, and love.
