Today, we took our kids along for a very cool experience.  We had our first 3D ultrasound (see pictures below).  It was a small splurge (around $100), but we hadn't ever had a chance to have one of these.  It took around 20 minutes or so, and they gave us a CD with a bunch of pictures, as well as a DVD with video and some audio of the baby's heartbeat.

Our baby girl still appears to be very healthy.  In fact, she looks huge to us!  My wife's "tummy" is bigger than she has ever been at this stage in the pregnancy, which probably doesn't sound all that alarming until you realize that two of our babies were 9-6 and 9-9 (Aleah was our smallest, at a robust 8-1).  Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if this is our first 10+ pound baby (hear that, Greg Nino?).  Time will tell, I suppose.

Here's a picture that I took of Pam yesterday:

 Needless to say, no one has any qualms about asking our due date anymore! 

By the way, I don't want to come across as though I am asking for baby gifts, so just send money if you feel led to do so.  :)  I am kidding, of course.  However, some of you did ask about baby "stuff".  If you have any interest in this, we are registered at Target now, and it should be under my name and/or Pam's.  Thanks!

Now, on to the cool baby pictures!  I actually stole these from Pam's blog tonight.  I'm sure she won't mind.  ;)

That is pretty cool... my business partner took me along on one of her ultrasound visits... it is pretty amazing watching the development - especially if you are a guy like me who has no kids.

Good luck and success

Awww!  When we had our kids, that 3D thingy wasn't even in use over here in The States, and then it was SOOooo expensive, but we already had our kids when it came over here, so we never had it done.

 

But that is SOO KEWL!

 

Congrats.

Congrats Jason!  Our new baby will be here late June.  This is #5, and our last baby (a fellow Jason) was 9lb even.... but they have all gotten increasingly bigger with each delivery!  I'm afraid of this baby, lol.

Your wife looks amazing and so does the ultrasound.  She's cute in a very non-digital way :) 

This looks really cool.  I've never had a 3-D ultrasound myself I may be tempted to try this out!

Ohh, my! When I recognized the perfect little face in the pictures, my heart just skipped a beat. She's truly a miracle!

Jason- Those photos are so amazing. Pam looks so wonderful and beautiful being pregnant. What a miracle in the making. May God bless you, Pam, your new baby girl and your children always. The photos were just coming out when I had Tristan but they were over $700. Now they are so much cheaper. When I had my first set of five they had those old fashioned ultrasounds. We have come a long way!

what a sweet smile... these new ultrasounds are so cool.

when my wife was preggers with our first... ultrasounds were new and experimental, and our health insurance wouldn't pay for them.  But our doctor was part of a trial program that produced two (only two) ultrasound appointments for pregnant women.  They didn't want to do more than two time, since they weren't sure if there were any long-term effects from the ultra sounds.

But our photos (polaroids, mind you) were nowhere near as cool, or details as yours.  Very cool.

Those are amazing!  This is the first time I've seen this kind of ultra sound.  My daughter-in-law is about 23 weeks, I will pass this on to her so she can see them.  She had a traditional one so far and it was thrilling to see that.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow Jason!  Pam looks great!  A little girl is always a blessing - Bruce and I have 4 but they're not little any more!  That's not to say that little boys aren't special.  We wouldn't give anything for our grandsons!  Good luck and God's blessings to you both and to your family.
