3D Ultrasound

We had an appointment with a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist on 1-15 because our previous ultrasound indicated that Mikayla's lateral ventricles (in her brain) were at the upper range of normal (ventriculomegaly). The specialist confirmed that the ventricles looked fine and likely just represent an upper variation of normal for a fetus at this stage of development. So, everything seems fine! As an added benefit, they generated a short 3D ultrasound video of Mikayla's face. The video is short, but you can easily see her face and her hand waving in front of her face. We will be having a longer 3D ultrasound performed in April that should give an even better picture of what Mikayla will look like when she enters the world in June. So stay tuned!

Ultrasound Video

Okay, so this video really just gave Justin the opportunity to play around with some new Adobe audio and video editing software. But anyhow, here is a VERY mildly edited version of the ultrasound video taken on 1-9-09. It is long...around 14 minutes. So, if you want to see Mikayla sucking her thumb or looking like a chimpanzee, you have to be patient and stick around to near the end of the video. Enjoy!

It's a GIRL!!!

We found out Friday that we're having a baby girl, Mikayla Jo Long! The shopping has already begun! I think I counted somewhere between 28-30 outfits already! This girl is going to be SPOILED! We'll be posting the ultrasound pictures and hopefully the video in the next few days so keep an eye out.
