pictures of Dagmar, and clothes redux

We had our fourth and final ultrasound today, so all the pre-birth pictures you will ever get of Dagmar are up on this site. You may recall the crappy experience we had with ultrasound #2, and I must say #3 and 4 were amazing and wonderful. Anyone in Denmark who is thinking about doing a 3D ultrasound… Scanningsklinniken is amazing. Obviously I went to the Copenhagen one, but they have ones in Århus and Kolding as well. We had a different tech today than we did on Saturday and they were both really nice, they both spoke English to me, said what was going on, etc. They were cheerful and took tons of photos, and made DVDs of the entire session. I was extremely pleased with the first session, and would have left happy enough anyway, but the tech said we could come again for free to try to get better facial shots, and, well, I'm not going to turn down another chance to see my baby so in we went again today.

On Saturday, Dagmar was lying head pointing downwards, and today she had flipped so her head was up, but in both cases she insisted in putting a minimum of three limbs in front of her face at all times. Today, she even went so far as to get the umbilical cord in the way too. All things considered, we still got some great shots and you can still tell she's the most adorable baby ever. (You do know you have to pretend to agree, right?)

My mother went clothes shopping too. I got a warning email with the following list of items she picked up.
  • yellow two piece -  top and bloomers - 6/9 months
  • lime check one piece - 12 months
  • orange check one piece - 12  months
  • light blue with multi stripes one piece - 12 months
  • pink print one piece - 18 months
  • aqua check one piece - 18 months
  • with dress with red trim and flower print - 18 months
  • orange and pink one piece - 24 months
  • pink check one piece - 24 months
  • yellow with multi pink stripes - 24 months
So, the in-laws pretty much took care of the first few months and my mother is chipping away at the next year or so after that. Mother has also reminded me that she kept way too many of my old clothes and she's passing them on to me.

Aaaand, I'm getting a good deal on some very gently used cloth diapers from a friend. I feel well on the way to being ready for Dagmar's arrival! But, you know, in that, please stay the remaining three months you're supposed to and give me some more time to really process what the heck I'm getting into kinda way.
