3D Ultrasound at 24 weeks

On Friday, Jeremy and I took a trip down to Pensacola to visit my ultrasound school. It was the first day the new class was scanning. We went down so they could practice and also so that my old teacher could do some 3D pictures for us. She was still trying to get used to the machine and said that I still might be a little too early for a good 3D picture but these are the ones she came up with. I don't really expect anyone to be able to tell what they are because I had a little bit of trouble with it myself, so I'll do my best to explain. We were both really excited to see him in 3D. We finally were able to figure out that he has my nose with a combination of Jeremy's nostrils. The baby has a little button nose. I guess KeithAnn is right when she says that the Carter gene is pretty dominant because from these pictures, we both said that he looks a little like me. See for yourself...

He is on the left of the screen and facing to the right and a little forward. You can see his face good here. His eyes, of course, are closed, and then you can see his nose and mouth.
He is, again, to the left of the screen but is looking down. This is a profile shot. You can really see his nose here and can tell that it looks a lot like mine. Once you see his nose, you'll be able to tell the rest of his face.

This is another shot similar to the first one. He's to the left of the screen and looking to the right and a little forward.

Back to the 2D. This is a shot proving, once again, that he IS a boy!!

He's looking straight at you and his arm, as always, is at his head.

Uhh, this one is pretty self explanatory.

A profile shot. His head is at the right of the screen and he's looking up. His body is in the middle of the screen, then his thighs are going up, and the picture cuts off at his knees.
I tried to do my best to explain what the pictures are, and may have stated the obvious to some people but I've been told that Deddy can't tell what they are no matter what so I tried to be a little more obvious. ;o) Ha!! I hope you enjoyed seeing our precious little Will! We were excited to see his face!
