"C" is for Caroline

As a Valentine's Day gift, David got me a 3D ultrasound. Wasn't that so sweet? The 3D ultrasound people recommend getting a 3D ultrasound before 26 weeks because the baby has a lot more rooom to move around and you can see more. I'm now 33 weeks. The tech told us she is very squished in there. I believe it. Her movements are getting painful. The tech also told us that she has chubby cheeks, a dimple in her chin and elbows, and a lot of hair. Just like regular ultrasounds, it was very difficult for us to make anything out unless the tech pointed it out and told us what was what. Also, Caroline kept her hands in front of her face the whole time.

In this photo, she makes the letter "C" with her finger and thumb. This is my favorite photo. You can see her chubby cheeks too.
This is a photo of her hands and feet. David made the tech count her fingers and toes. There's 20 all together. You can see how twisted up she is in there. Here's how she stayed pretty much the whole time. With her hand covering her eyes, like it was too sunny in there.
The tech also said she thinks Caroline will weigh more than Jonah did, who was 8lbs 1oz. My doctor said the same thing. I thought girl babies were smaller!
