The ultrasound technician did a bunch of measurements and gave us a ballpark range of the baby's growth. She estimated that the baby now weighs around 4 pounds! This got me a little alarmed, since the baby books I've been reading say the baby is approximately 3 pounds at 30 weeks. However, the ultrasound technician reassured me that 4 pounds was a normal weight and that it may even be off a little bit. Also, she said that since I was born at over 8 pounds and Jason was around 10 pounds, that we're genetically likely to have a "good-sized baby."
The last thing the technician was able to do is to take a 3D picture of the baby's face! It was so amazing to see this two dimensional snapshot change into a three dimensional image. She had to cut away some of the "noise" in the picture, which really made the features of the face stand out. The right side of the face is much clearer than the left. She tried several times to get another, but peanut kept putting his/her hands up, or turning away. We can't stop looking at the baby's beautiful features and we're more and more excited to meet this little cherub soon.

beautiful! Can't wait to hold this precious child!
Awesome sonogram pics! That little face is adorable. I remember how much Zach resembled his 3D picture when he was born. It astounds me how advanced the technology is. One of my friends even has a DVD recording set to music of her sonograms!
Anonymous is me! Love you, Jenny
