Baby Eli…. in 3D

Despite my the bad taste in my mouth after my crying fit at the doctor’s when they told me they wouldn’t approve my appointment for an elective 3d ultrasound at another ‘just for fun’ ultrasound agency, I broke down and scheduled one at the the their stupid office and gave them my money instead.

It was unfortunate because they weren’t nearly as interested in working with me to get a good shot of his sweet little face as the other place was when I went in with Lily. The photos weren’t nearly as high quality… and it was actually MORE expensive.

However, all complaining aside, we did find out that he’s perfect and healthy and in the 75th percentile.  Finally… some validation… I KNEW he was a big one!  Also, we did get to glimpse his little mug when he wasn’t flipping around or waving feet and knees in front of his face.

From our limited pictures… I think its pretty much clear that he’s going to be another mini Jeff.  He has the same little chin and eyes that Jeff and Lily both have… and were clear even in Lily’s ultrasound.

Here are the other two shots we got of precious baby Eli.  I don’t know who can’t wait to see him on the other side more… his mom or his big sister.Top-1 Top

Just to prove my point… one more time…

Look how much better Lily’s pictures were at the evil ‘just for fun’ ultrasound place that my new doctor refuses to give permission for.

Okay. I’m over it now.

I'm sorry it was so much trouble to get it done. I am annoyed for you! Don't they know not to mess with a pregnant woman and her hormones? Geez! He looks beautiful and very similar to Lily. I can't wait to see what he looks like in "real" life and what kind of personality he is going to have.

I am so sorry that you had to go through such an ordeal. Papa and I can't believe how much he does look like my precious Lily in these photos. Such beautiful babies. We can hardly wait for his arrival in April!!

Love You,Maow

Wow! When you put both their pictures together like that you can sure see the resemblance. I do think that is pretty annoying that she didn't okay the U.S. I am still so amazed that they can get their pictures. I agree with Maow, Eli and Lily are both beautiful babies. I wonder if Eli will get your eyelashes or Jeff's. Love, Nana

Wow--they do look alike. Jeff must have really dominant genes. Two little mini-Jeff's will be so cute though. I'm glad you got it done even though it wasn't the way you originally wanted. I just love seeing little glimpses of them before they are born.

And, I think you may end up with a giant baby. 75% is big!! I hope your labor is as easy as it was with Lily. It probably will be. Just like that lady we watched on baby story that birthed that giant baby naturally. :)
