First 4D Ultrasound

On Friday, Nic, my mom, Sabrina and I went to Insight 4D Ultrasounds , which a friend of mine recommended, for a 4D ultrasound. I was excited for it all week and Nic and I both kept reminding the baby not to do his usual pose where he blocks his face with his arm so we could get a good glimpse of him. I was also slightly nervous that we might be disappointed like we were with the quality of the last ultrasound images or that he wouldn't be cute (one of our more recent ultrasound pictures was a bit scary looking). The room was huge and had couches, chairs, footrests and an almost movie theatre size tv screen on the wall. The first thing the girl did was let us all hear baby's heartbeat. She recorded his heartbeat and put it in a giraffe for us to take home. Then she confirmed the gender. I had read about so many people finding out that their baby's gender was different from what they had originally been told that I wanted that confirmation to feel confident before preparing the nursery, etc. We were all relieved that he was still a he and we all agreed that his boy parts were much more obvious this time. Then we got to see his face and my heart just melted. He is the absolute cutest little baby I have ever seen. He has really big lips and an adorable button nose and the most gorgeous profile! He is also impressively flexible. He had both his legs up over his head and was holding on to his foot. His little foot and his hand were so amazing to see and were actually quite big, in fact not surprisingly, all his limbs look very long. He was moving around a ton, but at one point he returned to his favorite resting position with his arm up by his head. He has done this at every single ultrasound! The entire ultrasound was about 30 minutes and we all loved every second of it! We decided that he had Sabrina's lips, Justin's nose and overall he looked a lot like Oliver (especially from certain angles). I am so in love with my little man and am even more excited now to meet him! He is just perfect and we all love him SO much!!!
Aren't these images amazing?!! We are so in love and can't wait to meet our little guy in August!
