4D shots

First thing I must say about the 4D is... do it early. My friend at school had it done at 22 weeks the other day and it was awesome. Ours are not that great because Reece is getting so big! He also had both arms clasped together (the entire hour of the sonogram) above his eyes and forehead. So we have great pictures of his chin, nose, and lips. You may have to turn your head, step back or even squint to try and see everything. I know my mom and brother had a hard time even with me describing some of them.

This is his profile from his left side. His face is in the center of the picture.. the rest is fluid and stuff.

This is his foot -- obvious to see.

His little lips, chin, and nose..in the center - the rest is my gooey insides.

Here you see is two forearms and hands crossing. If you look closely, his face is down there...

Two hands cupped to the left of the frame and then his lips, chin, cheek, and eye to the right.

I have more if you would like me to email them to you.. however, I think these are the best.

So, that being said, we are very glad that all the drama occured last week and we did not have to pay for these. I did however have the same girls as last time, but before I went in, my ob assured me that she knew exactly what she was doing this time. The sonographer did ask if I wanted to pick my favorites to be burned to the CD and I looked at her and she said, " or you can have all of them." Yes, I will take all of them! :)

Hope you enjoyed seeing a glimpse of our little man... only about 10 weeks to go!

A bunch of pictures!

Last Weekend....

my very 1st baby shower...

I flew home and was completely showered with generosity and love from our closest friends. The brunch was at the cutest bistro in South Pasadena - Firefly Bistro. I can't wait to go home again at Christmas - it really is such a treat to see everyone and to celebrate life's greatest joys!

I have included a few pictures of the weekend.

my girlfriends...

my mom's bible study and my friend's mom's.

Not the best picture of the amazing flowers- but it gives an idea... the theme Ashley and Kristin used were the colors of the nursery - lime green and aqua. They did an awesome job putting it all together!

Reece received so many gifts - here are a picture of a few things we/he received....

A cool bracelet handmade in Mexico with his name stitched on it... From his cousins( Ali, Katie, and Christy)

Special organic baby products for his bath time - my aunt knows me so well!

His car seat --- i was starting to panic that if I went into labor early, I wouldn't be able to get him home! From Jane Weaver and Kathy Palmer---some of Grandma Jayne's closest friends.

Tummy time!!! with love from Grandma Jayne's friends - Gioia and Lauren

I have a ton more pictures of all that we received, but I could only post the ones that I looked good in! :) sad to say that there were really just these... lol.

After the shower we had a family dinner with the Randol's - my mom's side...it was such a nice occasion to have dinner- none at all! We were missing a few people - Katie, Phil, Wes, John - and of course the significant others- Danny and Jules. But it was still a great time.

We are so close and have so much fun when we all get together!

Brian, Christy, Papa, Me, and Ali
