Uncooperative....

Today we went for our final ultrasound of this pregnancy.....We are now pretty much at week 35. We had read that oftentimes you cannot see a whole lot in an ultrasound this late in the pregnancy just because there isn't a whole lot of room in my belly anymore and so it's harder to see specific things. However, we were hoping that our beautiful, peaceful, kind, loving and cooperative offspring would cooperate. Here is how that went (FYI: I am posting the most "interesting" of the pictures we have):


Here is a femur:

Top of her head:

Her Stomach:

Her Spine:

You may be wondering -- where is the face shot? Where is the picture of her doing something cute? Ummm.........

Well....................

Our little bundle of joy refused to cooperate - She buried her head down and promptly put her hand/arm over her face and refused to move it. She was poked, pushed, rolled, and prodded but she wouldn't budge. She moved her legs, her stomach, her feet, her other hand........but not the one we needed to see her face. The sonographer did tell us that she could see that Ellie has hair and is weighing in at about 5 lbs 13 oz and her estimated birth weight is anticipated to be somewhere around 7 lbs.

Oh and in case you want to see more "action" we have a disk of 40 something more pictures of "things" that we are unidentifiable to us and the general population that are not sonographers.

We love you Ellie -- even if you are already stubborn and uncooperative!

That's our girl!!!!
