3D Ultrasound!!

Hey All,

So Courtney just got the 3D ultrasound done and here are the pics!!

This Picture shows her with her left hand covering her right eye. The hand is bent and you are looking at the back of the left hand. You can see her nose and eye. That sheet of tissue that is covering part of her face and shoulder is actually the placenta as this picture was taken looking through it.

This is a picture of her face. Because of the technology the hand that is closest to her face looks like she is sucking her thumb when in reality it is stretched toward the camera. The reason the hand looks funny is because the camera is actually catching it half way through so it cut out the fingers (she does have all her fingers though!). Her face is pushing into the placenta which is why her left eye looks like it is being pulled down. Her left arm is in front and it looks like she is swinging a mean left hook with her fist.

This is kind of a funny picture. The dark spot on top is a shadow... not some new funky hair style. It is kind of an unclear picture because it got a ton of placenta in it but her left hand is up to her face the right is wrapping around front. The lower right corner is basically obscured due to placenta.

This is another obscured photo due to the placenta. You can see her face peaking through with what looks like a hand up to her chin (think the "Thinking" pose).

This is a pretty clear shot of her face. She has two blotchy shadows on her face but you can make out most of the features. I think she looks a lot like my sister in this picture. You can see her lips and nose and eyes. She is laying with her head on her hands so you can see her arm wrapping around the bottom of the picture.

This is an unclear picture but you can see her face. She looks cramped!! I know my claustrophobia would be kicking in right about then! You can see her nose and eyes... her face is buried in the placenta here so her nose is flattened out.

This is the best picture of her face. You can clearly see the eyes and the nose and even the upper lip. It looks like "Alien" where she is liking straining to get out of Courtney's stomach!
This is a super cute pose. You can clearly see her face and her hand to her face.
Courtney said that the doctor had to manipulate the image a bit to see it this clearly but you can see that, even before birth, our daughter seems to be praying!

So those are the pics! Tell us what you think (that is what the comment section is for!)
