Up Close and Personal!

Some first looks at Baby Girl Cardon. The ultrasound tech was able to get some pretty good 3D pics, which was SO cool! I have never had a 3D ultrasound, but it was really amazing how clearly you could see the baby's little features. Obviously the pictures didn't turn out as well as the live stuff, but I had to share.

The first thing I thought when I saw her was that she had her hand up by her face, just like Lucy always did. In fact, for weeks after she was born Lucy would wiggle out of her swaddling (and I made it TIGHT)so she could sleep with her hands over her face.
Today in kindergarten Lucy's class had the school counselor come in to talk about feelings, and then they drew a picture of how they were feeling that day. When the teacher asked her which feeling she drew, Lucy said, "Excited! I just can't wait to meet my new baby sister!" We seriously can't wait to meet this baby! Zachary is already pretending to hold her and play with her on a daily basis.
Jonathan thought this one was a little freaky because part of her head is being covered by the placenta, but I LOVE her little profile! I think her little nose is so sweet! We are 95% sure on the name, FINALLY, so that's monumental since we couldn't agree on Zach's name until after he was born. She was weighing in at 3 lbs. 12 oz. and is still feet first. She better flip soon!

So everybody always asks me: Who do I think she'll look like, since my kids are so totally opposite-looking. Who do you think this baby looks like? Lucy? Zach? Or all her own?

I vote she'll look like Lucy :). BTW, if our 5th was a girl, he was going to be named Lucy.

I love how your kids are reacting to baby. So sweet! They sure sound excited to be a big brother & sister. It's hard to say who baby looks more like when they're all squished up in there. We'll just have to wait until she comes out (so I guess this U/S comfired baby is a girl?). Are you sharing the name?

I'm so happy to finally see the ultrasound pictures. She looks so cute!! I'm thinking she looks like her Mommy. Your kids are so sweet and will be such a cute big sister and brother.
