Without warning, the ultrasound technician switched to a 3D picture which gave us a very crazy view of 'lil Heathbar. I will say that at this point, facial features are still moving around and forming so it is probably not our best idea of what baby will actually look like in June, but was still neat to see. You can see the arm is still up by baby's face (it kind of blends in to the cheekbone).
'Lil Heathbar was super active throughout the entire ultrasound. We were able to see the baby kicking its legs throughout the entire appointment. In fact - the baby started out the appointment by laying on its belly. The tech kept trying to get baby to flip over because it has to be laying on its back in order for them to get all of the measurements that they need. Baby wasn't cooperating so the tech had me get up, go to the bathroom, and move around in hopes of getting baby to flip over. I laid back down, and still no luck. Then, as soon as the tech started to talk about having me come back in next week so we could try again - we were able to see 'lil Heathbar do a somersault and land on its back. Just shows that our baby already has an attitude and wants to do things on his/her own time (not to mention I think that shows we have a future gymnast on our hands!)
Other stats from the appointment: heart rate was 174 (like I said before - we have a very active baby on our hands!), and all tests came back normal! Two very happy soon-to-be parents walked out of that appointment - we were so excited to finally get to see our baby!!
