On January 10, 2009, Jasper and I headed over to Peek of You to get a 3/4D Ultrasound of JP. I am just about 28 weeks and this is the time most people will reccommend getting these amazing little pictures because babies now have more fat on their bodies and look a little more human.
As big as I feel I am, I was excited to see his fat face and body. I can feel him moving and kicking inside and I couldn't wait to be able to put a face on my little kickboxer.
My thoughtful sister, Diane (who lives in San Diego and didn't want to miss a beat with this new baby) gave us a Flip camera for Christmas which Jasper used to record this memorable event. We had breakfast and he interviewed me and my thoughts before the ultrasound.
When we arrived to "Peek of You" we were able to look at other 3D pictures displayed in the waiting area. It's so neat that we have this technology to see what our little ones are doing in there.
Our room had a bed for me and a couch for any guests that we invited to share this moment with. While the technician used her monitor, I got to watch it projected onto a big screen. We confirmed the sex, and yes we still have JP on his way, and finally got to see the face of our sweet baby. He made the cutest sucking lips, and yawned for us. But this great view of our little one only lasted about five minutes before JP got camera shy and put his hands up to block his face. The tech did everything she could, practically jiggling and poking on my belly, to get him to move. Jasper suggested I get up and walk around which I did, but he was just way to comfortable with his arms up in that position.
Fortunately, we were able to get a few perfect shots of baby. The whole session was put on a dvd for us and we were ok with that. So, without further ado, here is our JP-his Life in Progress:
