With all the incredible sadness in my family this past week, I decided to try and bring a little bit of joy into the week by scheduling a 3d/4d ultrasound. They don't have this technology where I live in NZ, so it was pretty cool to get to do it there in the US. I brought my entire family including my grandma, and we spent about 30 minutes getting to look at our baby girl. It was amazing to get to see her little face, and we have figured out the following...
1) Definitely, 100% a girl! Funny thing was, the first thing the ultrasound technician pulled up on the screen was a regular 2d image, and my mom goes, "Awww, is that her face?" all excited, to which the lady responds, "Um, no... that's her vagina. It's definitely a girl." Haha. Nice one mom.
2) Apparently baby already has a decent amount of hair. We'll see!
3) Apparently our baby girl is big! She's got some chubby cheek and the lady predicted baby would be over 8 pounds at birth. So much for my hopes of a petite, 7 pound baby.
4) Baby has an attitude already. She wasn't cooperating for the "camera," so the ultrasound lady was poking and tapping my belly, and in response baby would get this mad/annoyed look on her face, as if she was not pleased about this interruption, and was not afraid to show it.
5) Mark has officially named our baby "Monkey." In one of the images, she was hugging her right foot by her face. That combined with all the hair on her head has led Mark to call her our little monkey. I'll try and upload the video with that part in it so you can see.
Ok, here's an explanation of the pictures below. Top left... baby is hugging the placenta in this one. I think she's smiling. :) Top right, she's sticking her tongue out, and that weird looking thing up by her face is the umbilical cord. Bottom left, tongue out again, and bottom right was just cute. I will try and add a video, but it is really long and it will take a while for me to edit it and upload it. But for now, at least you can see some 3d pictures of our baby!

Edit: When we first saw the baby and her grumpy face (it's on the video, we don't have a good picture of it...), this is what he compared her to... from The Mummy. He thinks he's funny. :)
