Her smile already melted our hearts....

We had Shelby's "re-takes" for the 3-D ultrasound and she was very cooperative and sweet this time. Right away, she showed us her girl parts again (she knows we have to see that every time to believe it- she's so thoughtful!) and then she showed us her sweet face the rest of the time. (Last time she only showed us the back of her head no matter which way she turned.) Her profile is really different than Shane and Ryan's so maybe she'll have a little mommy in her. It is really neat to see her moving in 3D and her little mannerisms already showing. She smiled several times right at us and kept her left pinky up by her mouth for awhile. She is about 2 pounds and 15" long as we enter our last trimester this week.
For those of you who have not seen 3D pictures before, it picks up the placenta, etc. and that makes it look misconstrued for many parts of the photo. Her face was right under the placenta, so although we got some good shots, there are some photos where only parts of her face are clear.

A big smile!

Her face is not really this lumpy- you can see the placenta in front of it and she has her pinky by her mouth

A better shot of our sweet girl

Only about 10 weeks to go and we'll be able to kiss her little face!

First attempt to see her last week

Happy after we saw her today- proud parents already!

Grandma, Grandpa,Aunt Tamra, and cousins Blake and Colby came to see her
