Ultrasound

With all the ultrasounds I have had, I have gotten quite close with a couple of the technicians. One in particular is Sue. She was the tech that discovered the heart problem in the first place. I saw her yesterday and she was very apologetic about how things went down that Friday, January 30th. She was concerned that she stressed me out with all the commotion and having her call Dr. deVrijer in several times. I told her not to worry about it because at the time we were concerned with admitting me on the Monday and it was not in the forefront of our mind.

As I was waiting for the porter to take me back upstairs, she popped her head out and said that either today or Monday when she was doing my u/s she would turn on the 3D ultrasound to get some cool pictures. She said they're at the right size and there's still lots of fluid. I mentioned this to Craig and he tried his darnedest to get here in time for the ultrasound. Turns out he was here 5 minutes before they called me down, perfect! Sue did what she needed to do. They both got 8/8 again...they're superstars! She kept chuckling because at one point one had her arm reached over and appeared to be scratching the back of the other. It was too cute. I had had a rough morning, and it was exactly what I needed to see.

Here are the pictures... It was often difficult to see their faces as there were body parts everywhere. It was the coolest thing! I will try my best to describe what you see. You will have to study the images from there. Good luck :)


Side profile of Baby B. You can see this is the right side of her head and you can see her ear.

Head on shot of Baby B again. She has always been so shy, so true to her, you can see her left arm over the tip of her nose covering her mouth. What's cool about this picture is that the foot you see underneath the left arm is Baby A's foot.



Baby A. Beautiful shot of her shoulder and her right arm tucked nicely under her chin.


Baby A again. This one is a bit hard to see, but on the screen she kept putting her hand up to her face. You can see her eyes and nose here and the bones of her hands infront of her mouth.

Baby A. You can see her cute little puffy nose.


Baby A smiling :)

It is just amazing you can watch their growth every day...I can hear Grandma Sheila going Awwwww.....
