Yellow-orange goodness

We went in this morning for our 3D/4D ultrasound, which was a lot of fun. There really isn't much of anything to describe about the experience, because you can see for yourself what we got to see. So, without any further adieu, here are some of the pictures.

This first picture shows what Addie was like during the majority of the ultrasound, about 20 minutes or so. Though Ame had recently finished off a latte, the caffeine apparently took its time entering Addie's system, so she seemed to be asleep for most of the 20 minutes. At first she had the back of her wrist in her mouth, though in this picture she's moved it slightly. In case it's not obvious, she's facing toward the right of the screen, and she has her two (yes, two) arms crossed in front of her body.

This second picture has a more frontal view of Addie's face, and in this one her mouth is slightly open. There were a handful of times where we could see her open and close her mouth. I think that she may have been doing this partly to get her hand or wrist back in. You can see in this picture her chubby little cheeks too, something which she must have inherited from her mother.

Here in the third picture you can see her trying to get the back of her wrist back into her mouth. Apparently Ame isn't feeding her enough.

Finally, we have for you a picture of Addie's skinny little legs (though I'm sure they'll morph into chubby little legs before too long). Her right leg is in front of her left, and her right foot is crossed underneath her left foot. If you look on top of her right knee, you can see her left hand with the fingers pointed downward.

We were relieved to hear the confirmation that the child in Ame's belly is indeed a girl. Addie was modest during the first ultrasound, and it took the technician 45 minutes to finally discern that she was indeed a she, which wasn't all that disconcerting except that the technician first thought that we were having a boy. So, we're quite glad that we're not going to have a little boy crawling around decked out in pink.

We also found out that Addie has a small amount of hair on her head. Ame was particularly happy to hear this, as she was born looking more or less like this, and was slightly afraid of having her daughter follow in her footsteps.

As before, here are links to the larger images, so you can (hopefully) get a better view of our adorable little girl.

So there you have it, 7 months of development all wrapped up in a cute little yellow-orange package.
