After much excitment, I finally got to go to my 3d/4d ultrasound. I was sure I'd see baby Durb's little face with clarity and assign a feature or 2 to me or Scott.
I should have known better.
I know the kind of genetics I'm dealing with. Uncooperative. I put it so nicely because we're talking about a baby.
Little D had almost every possible appendage blocking his face. A hand, both feet AND the cord. While he wasn't shy in showing us he is, for sure, a boy, he wouldn't give us a decent shot of his face. He was literally folded over. Head over heels. I'm not even kidding when I say his toes were in his eye sockets at one point. What the heck?! And he stayed like that. The whole time. He moved. Yawned. Bent his knees a little. Put his legs in a slightly different position above his head, but he let us know that he wasn't shifting position on account of us or our $125 fifteen minutes of camera time. Brat.
The best I can do is this... a shot of his foot in his face and the cord obscuring part of his head.
So. What to do? I want these pictures. Do I make another appointment to try again? I can't decide if I want to risk it. Another $125 for another possible photo failure? Ugh. I dunno. I want to. I really, REALLY do. But at that point we're talking $250 which could've almost bought his entire travel system. Or several other big baby must haves. I don't have these picture of the other boys and I lived. But that's kinda why I want them. They're so cool and I haven't done them before. BLARG!
To be continued... or not.
