Being the Borquez's: This time last year...Kal-el in 4D!

Last January was a very special time in my pregnancy. It marks the month that I got to see my baby's features for the very first time via 4D ultrasound. Technology amazes me. Funny thing is by the time my little one is grown this method will probably be totally archaic and some new found technology that we cant even fathom will be in effect but for now this is the neatest thing ever :) I eyeballed 4D pictures online for months before my scheduled appointment. I loved to see all the pre and after birth pictures to see how close the 4D resembled the baby after birth. Some of them were just so clear and this of course made me so very excited to see Kal-el. I kept wanting to bump my appointment ahead so I could see him sooner but I forced myself to wait so I would have better pictures of him. Just when I thought the day would never arrive it finally came and Chris and I were headed as fast as we safely could to the OBGYN to see our baby boy. Mimsy and Aunt Shane meet us there as well. We were all so excited. I was a complete spaz! There was only one other woman with a large bump in the frount ahead of us so not much waiting thank goodness. When they called my name I had to force myself not to sprint haha they would not have been a pretty or safe sight! We were all cramped and huddled in a little room staring at my gargantous belly and praying that Kal-el would pose like Mommy...well maybe not exactly like Mommy...lol We held our breath in anticipation for the first glance. When munckin came into view you could clearly see a sweet little hand over his face...Everyone let out a series of "awwwwwww's" He played coy for most of his photoshoot and kept his little hands stubbornly blocking his face. She tried to gently coax him to move by pressing on different places on my tummy. Well this child has his Daddy's stubborn gene and he wasnt budgeing. After several efforts in vain she brought out the little but very loud bell they clang against your tummy. Its amazing how God's little gifts can react to such a big world on the outside all while still being insideyour tummy. Its such a surreal thing you cant begin to fathom it until you have experienced it. The bell did the trick long enough for Mommy, Daddy, Grandmothers, and Aunts to see the most adorable baby in the whole world (yes we are biased) and here are the pictures to prove it!
