3D Scan
wowa .. how amazing it is/was!! My sweet Pete organised this for my birthday, so we popped down to the Babyshow at Earls Court on Sunday. It was jammers, with big buddah bellies everywhere and you had to keep your eyes open to dodge being run over by all the prams and their crazy mum/dad drivers!
We checked in early but discovered the scanning was running late due to some naughty babies misbehaving for the lady. They told me to keep my calorie intake up so I got to enjoy some coke and triple chocie cookies .. mmmm, yummy!! Great excuse to enjoy. We watched a bunch of cute kids in a modelling show which was a laugh then went and patiently waited. Funny, fourth scan but we were still nervous as anything .. and excited!! And I have to stay what we saw was more than we ever dreamed, but as usual it was just not long enough and they were rushing to get through all their appointments which was a bummer but we saw our beautiful little monkey so we were more than happy (and a little tearful on my part!). We used Babybond and the ladies were really nice. You start off with a normal scan, they pick an area then just flick the switch and there is your little baby in full features, like you could just touch it. Amazing, really amazing and moving. You see the little face and nose, lips and ears, eyes, arms, hands, legs, feet but she whipped over the private parts area so we couldnt tell if Flicka was a boy or girl. But funny enough me and Pete both concentrated really hard at that stage! ha. We got a 8min 4D DVD out of it and about 8 3D photos which I can’t wait to make a frame for when we get home. But going by the photos I think Flicka is a boy and Pete has changed his tune to a girl, which is funny cause Pete and mum have swapped sides .. she is thinking a boy now. Less than 3months and we will all find out!! The Babybond ladies and even mum think our monkey looks like Pete though, but we both think he/she has my nose. Ha. A real laugh and even though mum couldn’t be there in person it was great to show her and dad the next day at our place!
