Ultrasound V

It's been a little over a month since we discovered the possibility of our baby having a clubfoot. We had done another ultrasound and the little miss was not cooperating with us to determine if there was in fact an issue. We had scheduled another ultrasound in the hopes that she would change her position. Well, today was the day and I was please to see she had completely flipped her position. Before she was breached with her feet tucked underneath herself. Now her head was pointed down and her feet were flipped out. That was relief! I was a little nervous that she would still be in a difficult position. The sonographer was able to clearly see her feet and determined with ease that she did NOT have a club foot. Praise God! In fact, she (the sonographer) said that our girly was a perfectly symmetrical baby. :) She then offered us a treat to a fancy 3-D ultrasound. We very excitedly accepted the offer. :)

Now, remember the baby's head was now pointed down, but it was tucked into a corner of my uterus by my left hip. This was problem because the 3-D scanner was unable to get her head completely and so it kept coming out distorted and smeared. As we did in our last ultrasound we tried several methods to get her to move. They even reposition the bed I was lying on so my head was pointing to the floor and my legs were pointed toward the ceiling. We attempted this for about a half hour, but with no avail. One thing is definitely determined...she is her mother's daughter-stubborn as a mule. :) The tech finally gave up on trying to get her to move and just had to take the picture. It's a smooshed and incomplete, but it's still pretty amazing.

As you can see she's got those beautiful Nazaroff lips. I love that she has her hands curled under her chin. You can't tell from this picture, but I thought she had my nose. It's actually got a cute little curve to it on the bridge. David thinks she looks like Grace did as a baby.
