Yesterday, we went and got a 3-D ultrasound of our little girl - allowing us the unfair advantage of seeing her before she has a chance to get a look at us. Of course Jill started to try to determine where certain facial features came from (lips = Greg, nose = Jill, etc...) while I, with all due respect to my lovely bride, think that at the end of the day, she really just looks like a baby.
A few other observations:
1. She's still a girl - I think a part of Jill was still more reliant on wives tales than on modern science. Once again, science triumphs over superstition.
2. The 3-D ultrasound product is really cool - even more if you happen to own the machine and can charge what we paid for 10 minutes yesterday.
3. She's not the most cooperative baby - perhaps more camera shy than anything as she wouldn't move her hands away from her face for long enough to get a clear shot.. I'm certain that she's just preparing for the inevitable paparazzi swarm that we're going to encounter as we leave the hospital in a few months.
4. She's real. Since I don't have an actual living being in my body, this is the closest that I've gotten to really experiencing part of the pregnancy and it was very enlightening. It's much different going from the original ultrasound where you can make out shapes to this version where you see a little person with little hands and feet.
5. I'm excited to meet her. I think that I speak for both of us when I say that we're very excited to meet our little one in a few short months. For me it's probably a good thing that my terror is starting to subside and excitement and anticipation is starting to set in.
Here's a picture of our little girl with just over two months left - I also updated the main picture on the right if you haven't noticed.
