3D/4D Ultrasound is truly amazing (!!!)

After going to our first lamaze class, we got prepared to meet our little Bam Bam for the first time (while he is still in the womb). We headed to Pasadena to the Mothercare Ultrasound & Preparation Center for a 4D ultrasound image of our little one. It was a very emotional experience for us to actually get to see what he looks like (I had to shed a few tears). Some of the images did not come out so well. He's pretty cramped in there, being as though we're now at 35+ weeks. Still, we were able to see his huge cheeks (thanks to daddy), full lips (thanks to mommy) and his cute little nose.

Tip: the best time to have this procedure done is after 28 weeks, but before 34 weeks. You have to be far enough along so that the baby begins to have some fat on his skin, but not too far along where he has no room and therefore is
cramped and balled up inside your belly.

Here are a couple of the images we were able to capture:
