Nope, BP2 didn't want to cooperate with us last night during the ultrasound. I swear he was asleep. The ONE time I wished he were moving and kicking...he wasn't. He was face down (toward my back), and head down...like he was ready to come into this world. He has been that way for quite some time now. I feel and see him often times move his butt to one side or another. I can tell when he is in an odd position...I am not comfortable at all!! But last night, yea, he just wanted to sleep, face down, head down, probably dreaming about entering this world soon!!
So, we got only a few black an whites of his face (really not good at all...it was through the back of his head so he looked a little freaky), his feet (again, ackward looking), and his spine and head (which was the best because it was the side view that we could see over and over).
My heart was a little broken. I really wanted to see my baby boy's face. I wanted to see those hands and toes and see if he was sucking his thumb or yawning. But nothing. Couldn't even shake him into a different position.
In a way, I feel like this is God's way of saying, "This is my surprise to you." No matter what he looks like I will love him and think he is the most adorable thing in the world (besides my daughter of course). It is His way of saying "Have faith in me that he will be as beautiful as you could imagine." But I still wanted to see him.
Everything is measuring right on track, everything looks to be happy and healthy, I just couldn't see his face. And in all reality, healthy is all I should care about. Heck, many women don't even have the chance to have an u/s, let alone a 3-d one. Many women just have to wait until their child is born to see if they are healthy, have any defects, is a boy or a girl!! So what the heck am I complaining about???
Just bummed, I guess. But only 7 1/2 more weeks and I will know, and see him, and adore him! And yes, we are sure it is a "him". She saw his testies!! Haaa, I said testies!!! Wow, something I am going to have to get used to. A pee pee on the outside!!
I will try to scan the pictures and post them, but my mom has the scanner and I don't have much luck getting them in viewable form...will try though.
Have a good night!!

It is so reassuring to know that he is healthy in there, even if you didn't get any good shots!
Bummer that you didn't get to see his facial features. The last u/s I had with Mackenna, I swore that she was going to have a big nose and chubby cheeks - but it wasn't 3-d. She did have chubby cheeks but she had a little button nose - that was a nice surprise. :o) (I saw a side view and that's where I came up with that cause it was just sticking up! LOL) Anyway, I'm glad that things went really well and that things are on track. Take care!
I'm so glad that he is doing well, but sorry he was sleeping the one time you want him wide awake!
Good luck and keep me posted on things!

mine hasn't cooperated with any u/s. she's usually sleeping -- i've never seen her move in an u/s (though she starts right away after).
:)
Too bad he didn't cooperate! Our baby was entirely uncooperative the first time we went for our 3D, and slightly better but still fairly uncooperative for the second! I can't believe that you will get to meet your little guy in 7 and 1/2 weeks! Glad to hear he is healthy!
I'm glad everything is going well. Bummer that you didn't get to see his little face, though.
I'm sorry he didn't cooperate with you. Emma was like that. But not much longer now and you will get to see your little present from God. How exciting!!!!!
