CARRIE was here...: In 3D!!!!!

We had our 3D/4D ultrasound last Wednesday. It was amazing! He slept during the majority of the ultrasound and wasn't much of a show-off, but it was so good to see his cute face. It made me THAT much more anxious to actually see him in person!

Opening his eye:

Opening his mouth:

I love that his fingers look so perfect!!

His boy-ness:

He may have been getting tired of us trying to wake him up!

Grabbing at his foot:

So sleepy!

Still sleeping!

His perfect lil piggies!

More sleeping!

Sleeping...

And sleeping...

November 22, 2010- The BIG ultrasound! It's a healthy baby GIRL! She weighed 10 oz and was measuring 19w2d (I was 18w6d) and had a heartrate of 153.
October 5, 2010-Had our first trimester screening ultrasound. All looks good! Baby was measuring 12w3d (I was 12w0d) and has a 1:10,000 chance of having trisomy 13, 18, or 21.
September 7, 2010- Follow-up ultrasound. Baby was measuring 8 weeks 0 days (right on!), had a heart rate of 165 bpm, and was 1.5 cm long.
August 23, 2010- Ultrasound! Baby was measuring 5 weeks 6 days and was 2 mm long. We could see a tiny hearbeat but it was still too small to be picked up by the doppler on the ultrasound machine. EDD- April 19, 2011!
August 17, 2010- Beta HCG is 7927 and Progesterone is (still) 15.8.
August 10, 2010- Beta HCG is 168 and Progesterone is 15.8. I'm pregnant (albeit early!) with our unplanned blessing!
August 6, 2010- SURPRISE positive HPT! I haven't had AF since Ethan was born and completely weaned him 3 weeks earlier. I don't have a LMP or know when I O'ed!
May 18, 2009- Ethan Jacob was born at 7:37 p.m. He weighed 8 lbs, 6 oz and was 20.5 inches long. He is as perfect as we imagined in our dreams!

February 13, 2009- Growth ultrasound. Still no signs of Fifth's! Baby was measuring 27 weeks 3 days (I was 26 weeks 0 days), had a heart rate of 147 bpm, and weighed 2 lbs 5 oz (75th percentile).
February 6, 2009- Another "limited" ultrasound and another appointment with great news! Heart rate was 147 bpm.
January 30, 2009- "Limited" ultrasound with Perinatolgost. Blood flow to his brain is still appropriate.
January 23, 2009- Consult and level II "growth" ultrasound with a Perinatologist due to Fifth's Disease/Parvovius exposure. Baby wasn't showing any signs of being infected with the virus (did not have increased blood flow to his brain). He had a heart rate of 157 bpm and weighed 1 lb. 10 oz. We will continue to be monitored with weekly ultrasounds for the next 6 weeks.
January 14, 2009- I tested positive for Fifths Disease/Parvovirus exposure after an outbreak at my school. We knew I didn't have immunity to the virus from earlier bloodwork.

October 10, 2008- Ultrasound to monitor progress. The baby was measuring 8 weeks 3 days (I was 8 weeks 0 days), was 1.87 cm long, and had a heart rate of 182. Still looking great! Dr. decides to keep due date May 22, 2009 based on my LMP, not the baby's current size.
