Me… at 29 weeks! 4D Sonogram

Today we had a special treat — we had a 4d sonogram scheduled to see our baby girl. It was a nice little treat to prepare us for the last 2 1/2 months of this pregnancy. We have about 11 weeks left now and I truly am getting bigger by the minute but at least I can still see my feet.  lol.  I should really stop looking at the scale but I want to ensure that I don’t gain an excessive amount here in the last little bit.

Back to the sonogram… We were very surprised to find out that Lillian is in the breech position… this whole time these “kicks” that I thought that were very low (below my belly button) were actually her hands that are close to her little bottom.

Her feet are right in front of her forehead so her kicks are real high right now - (what I thought were punches were actually kicks!)

Maybe this is a sign that she’ll be a Rangerette one day?

It was so wonderful to see her face – we can’t tell if she has my nose or Gary’s nose but either way she is just perfect!

Here are some pictures:

And, for giggles… I put us all side by side

And, if you’re really interested… here is the video – it’s about 10 minutes in length and there is no sound but it shows you everything we saw!

The following is an excerpt from www.babycenter.com about Lillian’s size and development at 29 weeks:

Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, you’ll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby’s hardening skeleton each day.
