Today we went for a 4d ultrasound so we could all take a peek at baby Evan. It was pretty cool to be able to see what's going on in there!! It was hard to get lots of really good pictures because he had both legs wrapped up in front of his face, in what looked like a very uncomfortable position! It may explain though why Jenn is measuring small because he is all curled up and squished!
Seeing our little man was well worth the effort to get the ultrasound done. Thanks to Jenn and her family for sharing this special event with us.

That's so cool! I have been thinking about doing this this time since we've only had 2 ultrasounds. I'll have to see if you have a reco for a location. :)

You need to move fast though, the recommended time frame is between 26-30 weeks!
