Eva's first photo op - Jose's Birthday!

Friday we had the most amazing experience!  Some wonderful, anonymous person and quite inspired I might add, bought us an ultrasound appointment with a place in Salt Lake called Fetal Foto's.  What they do is take 2-D, 3-D and 4-D photos prenatally, its like a prenatal photo session.  We were able to see our baby Eva.  At first she was uncooperative and not wanting to show us her face, just her back.  But it seemed the ultrasound tech had some tricks up her sleeve and got Eva to move.  There in started the photo session.  She was beautiful, here are only a few pictures.  They gave us a disc with 52 pictures on it, a DVD with the whole session on it and 22 pictures for us to see right away.  These that I posted are one 2-D where she is sticking her tongue out and a 3-D where she has her little hands folded in front of her.  You can see her whole face and nose and lips.

It was the most amazing experience.  We still don't know who the generous friend was but it was the most wonderful thing to see our baby.  These may be one of many pictures or photo sessions we get of Eva even after she is born or the only photo session we will get.  Either way, it is amazing to now have a photo album of our baby!  She did so many cute things, she was grabbing her toes, the umbilical cord, she was opening her mouth to swallow and she was playing with her lip with her tongue.  She even yawned during the session, apparently it was running to long for my princess. You could see her little cleft in her lip, I think when she stuck her tongue out she was playing with her cleft!

At first we did not know what to expect or what we would feel like in seeing her.  But once we got to see her move and boy did she move, it just felt like "...that's our baby and she's perfect"  I was overcome with emotion.  We came home that night and watched the ultrasound DVD again.  We are so excited to be home for Thanksgiving and sharing these pictures and the ultrasound DVD with everyone!

We love you all.  Words could not express the gratitude we feel for this opportunity to see and enjoy Eva this way.  Thank you to you who so generously gave to us.  Please know that this gift will not be forgotten nor will we take for granted your generosity.  Jose and I look forward to the day when we will be able to "pay it forward".

Happy Birthday Jose (Daddy)!!!
