This last Saturday Kyle and I took our parents to a 4D ultrasound appointment at Baby Pictures Ultrasound in Bellevue to see Autumn Marie. At first Kyle didn’t want to get the 4D ultrasound because he didn’t want to “ruin the surprise”, but he finally caved in when I recommended we do it as an early Mother’s Day gift for our moms.
I cannot even describe how amazing it is to see your baby in 4D. At the beginning of the ultrasound (it lasted for about 25 minutes) we could see Autumn trying to suck on her arm. It was so cute watching her little mouth move.
We also quickly learned that she loves to snuggle up with the umbilical cord. In all of the photos below you will see a dark streak across her left cheek which we found out was the umbilical cord. It was funny because each time Melissa (the ultrasound tech) jiggled my belly to move the umbilical cord away from Autumn’s face she would get real grumpy and her mouth would pout a little until she returned to the same position. At one point she kicked me a couple of times to let us know she did not like us messing with her toys!
We also watched her open and close her mouth, try to suck on her toes, play with the umbilical cord in her hand (you can see it in the photo below), and she even waved at us with her cute little fingers through her butt cheeks (I know!).
We just loved getting to know our sweet little daughter through this experience.

You are so sweet! Yes, she is VERY comfy in her little room
What a wonderful gift for mom’s day! I wish I could have got the 4D pictures when I had Chloe. Life with a baby is full of surprises every day and there is no surprise about her can be ruined. Thanks for sharing the excitement — reminding me of the feeling of the first time hearing the little sprout’s heartbeat.
