So we decided to go for a 3D/4D ultrasound after Simon's mom's pendulum kept insisting that we were not having a girl. In case you don't know what a pendulum is, it is something like a magic 8 ball where you ask it a question, shake it up and wait for the answer...maybe silly but we figured...let's dispell all doubt if we can.
We booked an appointment at Som Visao Spa in Vancouver for their gender assessment package and about a week later we were at the spa. I invited my friend Susan to come along.
What's interesting about the 3D/4D ultrasound ...well I had someone describe it to me by saying..."it's like seeing a clay sculpture of your baby." So, you see shapes instead of just lines...handy since I remember the last ultra sound technician..."see those three lines"...well I see a lot of lines. Shapes I think will make gender more easily identified.
Now originally I was like meh about the whole 3D ultrasound thing...I thought Who cares? What's the big deal?, but I gotta say that it really is neato. For the first time I felt like my baby isn't just this being growing inside me it actually has behaviours and tendencies that are uniquely ....okay...now I can say...HERS.
Well, here she is! She insisted on having her hand near her face despite us trying several things to get her to reveal herself to us...the genitals, no problem but the face...I think we have to speak to her agent about that.
I am realizing that it is no coincidence that the previous 2 times we had ultrasounds that she had a hand at her mouth. She had her hand, the umbilical cord...almost her foot in her mouth at one point (that made it easy to confirm her gender)- I have that photo too by the way but I decided not to post it to save her embarrassment when she gets older.
Susan gave us the cutest hat for the baby so I thought she should model it for the camera.
I saw the photo and decided that I looked fat so here is the follow up photo. Suck in those cheeks!
