3-d ultrasound

Ultrasounds have come a long way. It's no wonder it takes a trained professional to do it and make sense of it. The technology however has improved so much that if you get lucky they can get great 3-d shots of the baby. In fact I saw one a few months ago of an entire face shot. The little guy is now 3 months old and the ultrasound pic is clear enough someone could look at him now and know that it's him in the ultrasound picture. (did that make sense?) Anyway, we had another ultrasound last Wednesday and I asked the tech to try and get some face shots. The little tyke wasn't very cooperative. He had his face smashed against the placenta and an arm trying block the wand most the time. Still you can see his mouth and nose pretty good. He looks a lot like Ryanna did as a newborn.

So the above pic is the same shot as the one below only in the normal ultrasound technology...2 dimensional....I don't know what to call it. The one below is obviously the 3-d image and you can see his facial features surrounded by lots of other stuff. What a handsome little guy! Bri and I were joking that he looks like an old man, especially in another shot we have but hey, don't most newborns?!?!?!
