Tomorrow is my 4D ultrasound. We decided to spend a bit to get it done this time, even though with Devin we skipped it because we’d “see him soon enough.” My doctor’s office does have 3D capability, but only as “snapshots” (and so far that was not at all a success) – this time it’s the real deal, full 3D video. And the ultrasound is not at all a medical one, so we don’t have to worry about measurements and growth and why are they looking at that again? I’ll be so happy to just lay back and watch her.

To prepare I have been trying to drink some extra water today, like they suggested (for a clearer picture, they said). But my biggest concern is simply making sure she’s kicking so that I know that she’s alive when I walk in there. I guess that kind of sets me apart from the “normal” pregnant women.

I’m also a little nervous about her being in the right position, given that we’re spending money on this and can’t do a re-do later (we are on vacation). Please be face-up and waving, baby girl. We want to see your face!
