We had our monthly growth scan today with the perinatologist, and it was the best ultrasound yet! The tech came in and reminded us that we still needed some good pictures of Tobe's heart and face (which we previously had none of) to rule out problems. I let her know that he has been consistently stubborn, but that I was still trying to be optimistic that he would cooperate today.
For the first 30 minutes or so, she looked at all his organs, his brain, etc. and determined they looked great. Then she tried to get a look at his face, and of course, he was being his usual stubborn self.
We took a break for about 5 minutes while she entered info into the computer, and I decided that I would try to squish him (by curling myself around my belly) so that he might cooperate and flip over (he really loves cuddling against my back). For some reason, it actually worked! We got some beautiful shots of his gorgeous face, saw him yawn (just like his daddy) several times, and watched him punch and kick all over the place. It was so amazing to see! Here are the pics they gave us:
It was a great brithday present for Joel, and I think it really made Tobe seem a lot more "real" to him!
