I had my 3D Ultrasound on Saturday!  It was AMAZING!  I've never been anywhere else, but I do recommend Envision Imaging because we had a really good experience there.  In the Ultrasound room they played sappy music, perfect for making women cry (haha ;-)) and they projected the Ultrasound on a GIANT screen that covered a whole wall.  First, the technician took some 2D pics, and told me FOR SURE that I was indeed having a BOY!!  She said, "There is no doubt.  You can go home and paint your walls blue!" :-).  As soon as she switched from the 2D to the 3D and I saw my baby's face I got all choked up and teary.  I was just watching him move his little fingers and blink his eyes and all I could think was, "That's MY baby boy!"  And soon after that I thought, "My gosh, he has some chubby cheeks!"  (Side Note: I went home that evening and found some newborn pictures of me, and I probably had the biggest cheeks and the roundest face of any newborn baby EVER.)  He was very entertained by his face!  No part went untouched.  He examined his eyes, his nose, his forehead, and sucked on his fingers for a while.  I got to see him scrunch his face, kick, open his mouth, and turn around.  I loved every minute of it, as did my mother and Les who went with me.

Well, after paying a pretty penny they sent me home with a 19 minute DVD of the session, a CD with 25 "color" pictures, and about 6 or 7 black and white photos.  Mom and I went immediately to Target to make a thousand prints.
**By the way- I posted all of the "color" photos on my MySpace (myspace.com/strawberryteardrop) in the album "Adry in 3D".**

Yesterday I started AND tried to finish all of my Christmas shopping but I was not very successful at all.  I think I only got my mom completely finished!  Jamie and I hit up Target, Best Buy, Starbucks, Tuttle mall, and we attempted some other places that were already closed :-(.  I wanted to register for gifts AND dye my hair, but by the time that was over I was really worn out.  I came home, fell asleep, and then later that night we went to go see I am Legend, which for the most part I really enjoyed.  I was entertained the whole way through, but I wasn't altogether impressed with the ending.  I still really want to see Atonement and Juno.  (Yeah, I am a nerd.  I LOVE movies.  I love everything about movies.  I could spend every night at a movie theater.  Maybe I get it from my dad?- he DID graduate from college with some sort of film production degree and he really enjoys it so I do hear a lot about it.  For instance, just the other night he told me all about why Orson Wells's Citizen Kane was such a breakthrough and influential movie, and it actually really interested me.) 

I start my tutoring job today!  I'm kind of upset that I didn't get my hair dyed so that it looked decent for today, but OH WELL, what can ya do?
I do need to go eat something and shower myself, so...
goodbye!
