Carlinha's World: 3D/4D scan at 28 weeks!

26^th of June 2011 (28 weeks)

Hi Noah!

I’m once again sorry to write this a week late. We had our last exam this week and a paper to write. It took a lot of energy and time to put the work together. In a happy note, now we are done school and I can consecrate myself to you and you only. You have been moving a lot and I can feel you move whenever I lie down. When you don’t move, I get worried but you always move. I figured out your pattern. You sleep from 8am to around 3pm (you still move during these times) and you nap from about 6 pm to 9pm (still move). The rest of the night and the day you move around like CRAZY. I love it! And at night I can sometimes feel you turn around and it feels really weird honestly but yea. So, let’s talk about this week!

We went to Grandpa D’s house on Friday for supper and we spent some time with him and your uncles. It was really fun! Grandpa also gave you a first gift; a little dog that belonged to Daddy when he was…well about your age. We left late but excited because the next day was your 3D/4D ultrasound.

So the next day at 12’o clock we went to UCbaby in order to get our 3D/4D ultrasound. We finally got a glimpse of what you looked like. You have chubby cheeks, a cute nose and nicely shaped eyes. You’re able to open and to close them. You also like to play with your umbilical cord and put it in your mouth. You also enjoy holding it and pulling on it. You also LOVE to suck on your feet. You’re favourite position is to put a foot in your mouth while holding it with your hand and having one of your hands on your privates. You’re so cute!

Of course, we asked for a gender confirmation and you know what, WE WEREN’T ABLE TO GET ONE AT FIRST!!! You were shy and hid your genitals (Thanks Noah!). The technician was looking at the screen and she says that she can see the labia. Hmm, excuse me? Boys have labias also? No? Didn’t think so. So, we ask for her to be sure, but you wouldn’t move so we moved on to something else. At the end of the ultrasound, you still were hiding your parts so the technician asked mommy to get up and belly dance a bit. After moving around for around 2 minutes, Mommy laid back down and you finally got to move your hand (sorry for disturbing!!) and we could clearly see a scrotum. Now, girls don’t have scrotums so I was happy about that. You’re still our little boy!

Grandma, Sonia, Titia, Grandma G and J-C (Mommy’s friend) got to also see your ultrasound (it was broadcasted life). To this day they still tell me how cute you are and how badly they want to meet you. Actually, now that we’ve seen you, we REALLY want to meet you. You’re already perfect…we can’t wait to finally have you and hold you.

Take care Baby Noah! We love you and we’re happy you’re still a boy!

Mommy and Daddy
