My baby’s 3D Ultrasound Pictures

3D ultrasound day finally came last Saturday. To make the baby active I drank one glass of mango shake and had my li’l angel listen to classical music while waiting for our turn. I think it worked because I felt him kicking and moving around.

Very excited, I lie on the bed as I waited for my baby’s 3D ultrasound image to flash on the monitor in front of me. It was such a good thing that the baby cooperated. The doctor was able to spot the baby immediately. The first image that flashed confirmed my gut feeling of the baby’s sex. We saw a penis! I am definitely going t have a boy! Now I can really refer to my baby as NIGEL.

Then, I saw his face. Lips, eyes, nose all resembled Butch’s! He lay peacefully asleep inside my womb. “That’s what Butch looks like when he’s sleeping!!” I thought to myself. I asked the doctor

“Is everything normal? Are his body parts and all complete?”

“Oh Yes!” said the doctor.

With a sigh of relief, I thanked the Lord for keeping my baby safe despite my us of steroidal medications to control my asthma and allergy. Though he was asleep, Nigel kept moving around. We saw his legs and hands moving. Butch said he even saw Nigel do a sort of peace sign gesture with his hands! He seemed to be very fond of my umbilical cord. He held it and it partly covered half of his face. Could he be possibly aware of that cord’s importance for his growth and development? He probably knows that it’s his connection to me, his loving mommy!

We showed the pictures to my mom, dad, sisters and uncle. They said Nigel also resembled me. I personally think he looks a lot more like Butch. As he slept that night, I put Nigel’s picture beside Butch’s face. I smiled with joy filling my heart as I marveled at the resemblance. I can’t wait to hold Nigel. I am just about to enter my third trimester; I still have a long way to go. The Lord has been faithful in protecting Nigel and keeping me healthy to say the least. I am confident that in Him, I will have a safe and normal delivery.
