When I first went in for the ultrasound, the tech explained that they were learning how to use the 3D imaging ultrasound and if the baby was in a good position we might get a few pictures. He only held the wand to my stomach for 5 seconds before he rushed out of the room to get the other tech. I had mixed feelings about 3D... all the ones I've seen look kind of creepy. So I was pretty hesitant, even though both techs were so excited that baby Skweres was in the perfect position for a 3D scan. They played around with it for a while and got a great shot of his face. At this point all I had seen was the face, and still had no clue about the gender. When they printed out the picture though, my misgivings about 3D instantly disappeared. Baby Skweres doesn't look creepy at all - he looked adorable! And for some reason he looked like a HE and not a SHE.
Then they called Justin into the room, and he got to see the pictures too. We both had the same feeling that this baby was a boy, just by looking at his face. And then we had to wait around for forever for the tech to get around to the genitals :)
Let's just say there's no doubt this baby is a boy.
Baby Skweres is measuring right on target. He weighs about 9 ounces and is six inches long.
And I know you are so curious to see this 3D picture, right? I promise I'll post it soon :) For now you have to make do with this low-tech 2D picture!

It's amazing that a six-inch-long baby can look so great! It even looks as if he has hair! Love, Aunt Mimi
