Another look at Paxton

Well today, I had my 4th ultrasound. I only had one ultrasound with Versii, so this is very different. Out of the 5 ultrasounds I've ever had, today was the first time they asked me if I wanted a disk with pictures, instead of a print out. Sure! For those of you who didn't know, we're planning to name this new little boy, Paxton Henri. And they say that he's currently measuring at about 4 lbs, 6 oz. ---Which is ahead of schedule. He's supposed to be 31 weeks along, but is measuring at 33 weeks. So, based on this information, the estimated due date would be May 19th. (But they say that they don't change due date just based on measurements.) ---The reason for this ultrasound was because I have placenta previa, and it's only moved 2.8 cm, but they want it to be 3 cm from the cervix. So they want to check again in another month. That means ultrasound no. 5. She said the placenta only has to move .2 cm, before they will officially ok no C-section...so we will see.

Here's Paxton with his mouth open...in the classic ultrasound view.
And here he is in 3D form. He looks kind of like a "clay baby". --But the crazy thing is that he had his eyes open and the technician said she's never seen that before. It will be interesting to see what he looks like in real life. (I never got to see Versii in 3D, so I can't compare.)

That is pretty dang awesome that you got to see him in 3D! When I was pregnant we talked about getting that done, but didn't end up doing it. But in the future I would love to get that! And that IS weird that his eyes were open, but way cool.

I agree with Nicole. I see a resemblance!

That is so cool that they did a 3D picture for you! How fun you can see him before you see him!

I also agree with Nicole. He totally looks like Versii. So cute! That's way cool. I've never had a 3d ultrasound, but I sure do want one.
