Baby Preview...

I was in Milwaukee vising my family and friends this weekend. I had totally forgotten (until I drove past) that there is a "sonography boutique" near my mom's house called Baby Preview. It is a "non-medical" place that does 2D, 3D, & 4D ultrasound, as well as sells really cute baby stuff in their store. So, I called and made an appointment for a "sneak peak" ultrasound, which is all they can really do when you're fairly early. We showed up (and it turns out my best friend knows the owner so my services were FREE), I laid down, and in just a minute we were up and rolling! I was surprised an external ultrasound was even possible because I am not showing at all, can't really even feel my uterus, and I figured I was still pretty much low and in the pelvis. She put the probe on me and there was our baby! Long legs and all :) He or she still has a good strong heartbeat, and it is amazing how much better an ultrasound is at 11 weeks than at 8! The baby was rolling around and kicking it's legs, it was so sweet. We switched it over to the 4D but the baby just looked like a blob with nubs---the lady said that the arms and legs are too see through and the scan looks right through them until they're bigger. I wish Jeremiah had been there. I did get photos printed and had one to say "Happy Birthday Daddy!" and I gave it to him when I got home :) The resolution is not very clear in the pictures, but you really could see a pretty detailed face on the scan!
