We got to see our beautiful baby boy in 4D today. Of course he wasn't very cooperative - he decided to stay hidden behind the placenta for most of the session. I can tell he already has some of his daddy's facial expressions...
(I tried to add a video clip, but after an hour of waiting for it to upload I gave up)
EDIT: I finally posted the video on facebook for those who want to see it. It did take over an hour to upload, but at least it came with a progress bar to let me know something was happening.
I also figured that I should post some more information on the visit for posterity's sake. Baby William weighed 1 lb 14 oz and measured 26 weeks and 2 days old, just 1 day off from my September 16 due date.
I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the visit. Seeing as this was not deemed "medically necessary" we had to pay out of pocket roughly $100. Not a big deal if he had been more cooperative. But, of course, he takes after his father and decided to be stubborn. It didn't help that I probably didn't drink enough water beforehand so the amniotic fluid levels were a little low. I wish I could have done it over, when I had more water in my system and he was more active. I'm pretty sure he was trying to take a nap and was not particularly happy that we were disturbing him.
Still, it's a miraculous gift to see him like that, looking like a little person that could already survive outside the womb. There are still a few more weeks for that to happen without major complications, but the anticipation of getting to hold him is killing me!
