While I was prepared to see a sleeping baby today, I was not prepared to see a baby with the placenta covering his entire face. The tech tried her hardest to get some clear face shots, but he was nuzzled down face-first in my placenta, sleeping away. I mean, I'm glad he's comfortable and all, but it was a little disappointing not to be able to see his little features clearly.
As we were wrapping up, the tech told me I could come back and try again if I wanted. I think I'll take her up on that in a couple of weeks (considering it'll be free next time). My placenta won't move, of course, but hopefully he'll have shifted a bit so he's not face-planted right into it. It's worth a shot, right?
Here are a couple of the pictures we did get that were somewhat clear. You can see his features, but keep in mind that it's through the placenta, as if he's holding a sheet over his face. I do love the little hand tucked under his chin as he sleeps, I have to say.

Wow, those pics are amazing. Can you tell who he looks like yet?
Your little boy is precious Kerri! I'm sure it was disappointing not to be able to see him moving a lot and the fact that he was in a weird position but those shots are still really adorable! I think it's good you are taking her up on another u/s! It will be fun for you to see him when he's maybe a little more active and not shielded by the placenta! The hand under the chin really is adorable too!
