Baby girl is due on 5-Aug-2004. 
 
Ultrasound images at 18 weeks.
Curled up
Baby curled in half, hands and feet both are up by her head.
  Face view
Looking at her face, the chin is up and to the left.
Head profile
A nice profile of the head.  The technician said that she could tell that the tongue was sticking out.
  Thumb sucking
Good view of the left hand and it looks like the thumb is in the mouth.
More thumb sucking
Again, it looks like she's sucking her thumb
  Curled
Nice view of the rib cage and the legs.
Side view
View of the head and chest.

Could be any day now!    
       
         
Full term  (4-Aug-04).  Sean took these photos after being a bit disappointed with some photos we had taken at a studio in a local mall.  These turned out much better than the studio portraits, I thought.
     
       
         
5 days overdue, some (hopefully) final photos before the birth.

"For fun" ultrasound at 22 weeks, including some 3D images.  We found a place in St. Paul that does 3D ultrasounds, for people that want to see some additional pictures of their baby.  We were a little early (22 weeks) to get perfect pictures, and the girl had her head jammed into a corner for much of the time, so it was a little tough to pick out her features on the shots of her face.  Also, she had her hands up by her face during much of the visit, being a bit shy.
         
She's a girl
The technician confirmed that we are for sure having a girl.
  Profile
Hard to get a good view of the face, since she has her hand up.  The little twig on her chest is the umbilical cord.
Profile
If you look carefully, you can make out a tiny little nose--but you need to pick it out from the lighter area in the background--it's smaller than it looks!
  Hands in front of face
Good shot of the Ulna and Radius, in her forearm.  Note the difference between the normal 2D and the 3D ultrasound.
A little hand
She covers her face
  Shy, muscular girl
She curled up with an arm up along her head.  Good shot of a little ear.  You can also see the umbilical cord running over her shoulder.
Spine & rib cage
All curled up
  Face
Hard to make much out, because she had her face pressed up against the uterine wall.  Her eyes are still closed, so you're not seeing an eyeball!
Unidentified
Not quite sure what we're looking at here.
  Nice profile
The is probably the best face/profile shot that we got.
Profile
Another profile, but hard to see too much.
  Still shy
She's definitely all curled up.  The ridge on her back isn't her spine, but the umbilical cord again.
Face
Careful--the white ridge is not her nose, but something behind it!
  Head
A good shot of the ear, and bits of umbilical cord below it.
2D Head
Note the huge difference from the 3D.  Here you can see the eye socket.
  2D Head
Hard to see much in this one.
Curled up
It looks like she's squatting here.  Again, you can see the umbilical cord running over her shoulder.
  Shy
Another shot from behind a very curled up girl.
Femur
At least I think this was the femur..
  Spine  
Good shot of the spine.
 
Hand?
Maybe this is a hand and forearm.
