David's 3D Ultrasound

So yesterday we had our 3D/4D Ultrasound.
I spent the entire day floating around waiting for 5pm to roll around.
About a quarter after 4 my mother, Jeffry and I climbed into our car and drove to Premier 4D Imaging in Bloomington where we were to also meet up with my father and my brother David and sister in law Erika (with the usual attachment of our little Varrah).
(Of course we were missing my wonderful mother and father in law who just couldn't make it down on a Tuesday, which was sad for us all, but I promised to bring the video this weekend, so they still get to experience the magic... best part is, they get to experience it on their HUGE tv!!!)
5pm hit and we all gathered in this cozy room, wasn't really little at all, so we all fit well.
There were screens everywhere so no matter where you were you could see the ultrasound, my favorite being the huge projector shinning down onto the wall. :)
First try at getting little David's picture failed... I layed down on my back and he turned away... so I turned onto my right side... he again... turned away.
Left side! Yes! Left side was much more promising.
We ended up doing the rest of the half hour with me on my left, just adjusting forward or back. But we were finally able to see him. :)
I'm quite surprised I didn't cry. I cried at our 5 month ultrasound... I expected it of myself to get all emotional at this one too, but I think I was just too focused and excited on seeing (or kind of seeing) my little man's face for the first time...
The big moments of watching him were seeing his tongue come out a few times... I caught a yawn in there somewhere too... rubbing his eyes and his face with his cute little hands!
It was amazing to find out that babies in the womb love to play with and suck on the umbilical cord. Why do I say this? Well... because little David Keegan was sucking on his! It was just amazing to watch with so much detail!
His eyes were blinking... mouth moving... it was just... well... as I've said, AMAZING!
The entire time there I kept stating how much he's gonna look like his daddy... with a few bits and pieces from momma, but mainly like daddy.
After that experience, I'm so excited to meet him face to face for the first time... I just gotta keep telling myself... 3 more months... 3 more months!!
Crazy.
Here are the pictures:
