Hello, Internet! How's about some vaguely creepy photos of my orange ghost-fetus?
I think he's the sweetest little orange ghost-fetus in the world, but I could see how you might think I'm biased.
And yes, he is definitely a he. A he who is remarkably modest, but still, we got one good glimpse of the undeniably male goods before he crossed his legs up tight for the remainder of the session.
He is also a he who looks JUST LIKE HIS BIG BROTHER, holy crap, except possibly (God help me) a little chubbier.
He kept his hands in front of his face during most of the ultrasound, attempting at times to get as much of his thumb and hand and arm as possible into his mouth to suck on. I take this as a prenatal sign of his chompable deliciousness, and also: mah boobs are already a little scared.
He did all the typical fetus things. He opened his eyes, stuck out his tongue, gnawed on his fingers, kicked and rolled and smushed himself into the placenta when he'd had quite enough of me rolling from side to side and jostling my belly in hopes of getting a clearer look at his face. In other words: he's brilliant.
We brought Noah with us, although we were at a loss ahead of time on how to really explain what we were going to see. I guess we did an okay job, because the instant the ultrasound image showed up on the projector screen Noah immediately pointed and exclaimed, "Look! Baby brother!" He then asked, "Hey, what you DOING in there?"
What else is there to say? We're having another baby, another boy, another melon-headed chunker and oh my God, I cannot freaking wait to see this lovely little face in person.
"What you DOING in there?" Noah is teh awesome.
Cutest ghost-baby ever.
Though I have to admit, I start getting scared at these ultrasounds that look SO. MUCH. like a baby. What's next, technology??
Amy, he's gorgeous! I'm also knocked up, and at about 33 weeks, so right there with you on this journey. Additionally, I also am impatient for the chomping and munching of cheeks to commence. Thanks for sharing your delicious orange ghost-baby.
Oh so sweet. Congrats.
Orange? No! He's Sepia tone. Just imagine him as a gun slinging sheriff from the Old West and you'll see what I mean.
Even before I saw that you wrote it, I thought he looks just like Noah! You are going to be one lucky Mama with two such adorable boys :) Congrats on seeing your sweet baby!
How did you get a 4d scan? We're getting our level II and the OB said no 4d unless suspicious cause of concern for further investigation.
I'm so getting cheated.
My ovaries are twinging, and it's all your fault!
he's a Noah clone.
you should probably just name him Noah 2.
You're due a few weeks after me. :)
Congrats on getting a decent look at your little guy! Mine had been breech & facing my back since my 20-week appointment, so we never really got a clear look at his face.
And OMG...those cheeks look absolutely delish!
Awww. He's adorable, and yes, it looks like you've got another Noah cooking!
I like to imagine that babies in ultrasounds are all like, "Moooooom. Get out of my room! You never give me any privacy!"
He's so cute! And this made me miss my baby girl (who is at her first day of daycare) so much more than I already did. I just love babies.
He DOES look like Noah. Lord, you two make beautiful, perfect children.
This one looks like Jason! :)
What a beautiful family you have!
Oh my goodness SO PRECIOUS! He DOES look like Noah. How cool is that?
Definitely the sweetest orange ghost-fetus in the world. Can't wait for the real pics!!
Congrats on cookin up another batch of adorable! Can't wait to see more of the little guy!
Congratulations! He's adorable, and Noah is a crack up!
Looks downright edible! Amazing shots! And Noah. With the cute. I can't take it!!!
I love Love LOVE 3D ultrasounds!
He really does look like Noah! How cute!!
Truly amazing. And I agree, he is gorgeous. And I'm not at all biased, so there.
Cutest ghost-baby ever.
We only had the old fashioned kind of ultrasound with KayTar and it caused BubTar to start calling her Scary Monster Baby. He would ask to watch the ultrasound video, "I want to watch SCARY MONSTER BABY! RAAAR!"
Oh my hell. Those 3D ultrasounds are coooooool.
Oh wow, how is the world going to survive the cuteness of two Noah-look-alikes? I think the earth may just roll over and stick her feet in the air and call mercy.
My ovaries are just aching looking at those images. My "baby" turns 8 tomorrow and his dad has staunchly refused to even consider more kids for the past 6 years. *weep*
Just wait until Noah holds him for the very first time and looks sweetly down at his brother and says," I love you baby brother"...there is NOTHING sweeter than that in the world!!!
girlplease - We got our 3D scans the old-fashioned way: by paying cash money for them. There are plenty of imaging centers that offer elective ultrasounds for a flat fee and are basically glorified photo shoots. You get no measurements or medical diagnosis or anything -- just photos and a DVD.
The place we went does medical "real" ultrasounds M-F, and then offers the elective ones on the weekends or whenever they have open appointments, so at least you know the technician really knows what they're doing.
Wow. All the other ultrasounds I've ever seen look like...well, blobs. But that looks like a baby! A really adorable one, too. And I generally think babies look weird and freakish.
Ohhhhh those pictures are adorable and can I just say, holy crap he really does look EXACTLY like Noah did! I'm so excited for you - makes me want one of my own! Congratulations mom-to-be. :)
Wow, he looks like Noah! He's beautiful! Congrats for the upteenth time!
The cutest ultrasound pictures ever! Except mine, cause I have to think mine are awesome.
BTW, Noah is so cute!
That's it. I'm putting up the "For Rent" sign in my uterus right now.
AWW! Congratulations, I know you can't wait to meet the little guy. Here's hoping the time flies!
OK I'm jealous. HOW do you manage to get 3-D ultrasounds REPEATEDLY during pregnancy, AND DIGITAL COPIES TOO!?
We got one fuzzy grey picuture of a little blip at 12 weeks, and I got half a dozen black/white fuzzy printouts of everything EXCEPT the gender parts at 20 weeks (that DH didn't even get to see).
I brought DH with me to the last appointment so he could do the authoritative MAN FATHER thing. We're finally getting an anatomy/position ultrasound tomorrow.
Two more months!
awe he is wonderful! I love those ultrasounds!! happy anniversary too, didn't get to say that to you the other day!
He is just glorious! What wonderful pictures! I can't wait to meet Baby Brother!
I can't get over those 3D ultrasounds. And really, I can't get over that a baby already looks so perfectly formed with still so many months to go!
That is just the sweetest! I am so in love with Noah, in the nicest, least stalker-ish way possible. And Baby Tivo is the cutest too!
Congratulations- he's another cutie pie! And you're right, he really DOES look like Noah.
Seriously, once you post pictures of both of them, you will be responsible for countless deaths from the MASSIVE cuteness.
Warm, fuzzy wishes to all three of you as you're getting to know your new family member :)
Oh how exciting for you! He's beautiful.
Aw, lookit that cute little face!
We got our 3Ds only by dint of a genetic screening. But mine still looks pretty bony at this point, not so impressively chubby.
Wow, this is exciting! What did someone say about death by massive cuteness? Yeah. :)
***crying at work alert***
"What you DOING in there?" pleeeze... just too precious!
Congrats on mini-Noah..
Wow! What a little hambone...he really posed nicely for his first closeup :P I think he does look very much like Noah, but more like Jason than his big brother (Noah is more your mini-me, IMHO). I don't remember what Noah weighed, but I'm going to "weigh in" at 10lb 12 oz and 21" long. Hey, want to start a betting pool??
Also, still interested in a very lightly-used Maya wrap pouch? Organic cotton?!
OMG, I didn't need you to tell me. He TOTALLY looks like Noah! Congrats!
Those are great shots, he's adorable! You were lucky...ours were not nearly as complimentary.
Next step is 4D which is the same idea but with color.
I am not for sure but I think he has an Ipod in there with him!
It is so fascinating how you can see their faces so clearly! I knew exactly what Ayden was going to look like his was clear like that too and like you already even knew who he favored! LOL Amazing technology!
Oh, how sweet. Can't wait to see the little brother "in person." (Or, you know, over the internet but outside the womb.)
Congrats, he's beautiful!
