Introducing Peanut Jelly & Butter....WHAT???

Wow it's been a while since I posted!  SORRY!  We did go back for another 4D ultrasound, but it didn't go much better.  At first baby was facing my back and wouldn't turn around.  BOOGER!  So we went to the doctor's appointment, drank some cold water, did a few squats, and went back.  VOILA!  He turned around!!!  ONLY he kept his hands (that's right I said handS...both of them!) over his face the whole time.   He's either REALLY camera shy like his daddy or a little bit on the ornery side.  Maybe it's a little bit of both (LORD KNOWS his daddy is! LOL, but that's why we love him!)  But we were able to get some great pictures of his cute little hands.   Looks like there are 5 cute little fingers on each hand!  No need to count them when he decides to come into the world!  Anyway, here are the pictures and for the first time EVER I can proudly say.....INTRODUCING PRESTON JAMES BRINKLEY!!!!!

Yes, we know that should we ever want to get get his initials monogrammed somewhere it would be PBJ...making it appear that we named our son after a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, but we didn't.  So lets all get the laughs out now and embrace the fact that James & Clarissa FINALLY picked a name!!!!  

Disappointment

Well James and I went yesterday for our 4D ultrasound and were a little disappointed in Lil Man.  Baby decided he didn't want to be seen, so he kept his little arm in front of his face almost the WHOLE TIME!  He's already a little booger!!!  After about 30 minutes of the tech shaking the heck out of my belly, getting up and walking around, going to the restroom, and almost faiting on the table, baby finally moved his arm just long enough to catch a few pictures of the side of his face.  THEN he turned around backwards so we could only see the back of his head.  So it wasn't what we were hoping it would be and I don't think the pictures are clear enough to tell who he looks like yet (although I found a picture of me in my baby book that is seriously the spitting image of the first picture below.....but that could be wishful thinking :) but we are going back next Friday to have a repeat ultrasound done.  If the little guy won't cooperate then, we will have paid $140 for nothing.  We only get one "Mulligan" on this so we will have to pay again if we don't get good pictures next week.  AND since I'm still all sorts of nervous about not getting everything we need because I only have one more shower scheduled, we'll probably just save the $140 for something from the registry (like the pack-n-play we want, but haven't gotten yet.......if anyone wants to go in on it with us!  LOL j/k).  So here are the pictures we did get....stay tuned for (HOPEFULLY) better ones next week!

As the tech was turning the machine off, it switched from 4D to regular and she said "OH MAN!  LOOK at THAT!"  I couldn't figure out what she was talking about so I asked "What? Is something wrong?"  She said "ALL THAT HAIR!"  So she snapped a picture of his hair floating in the fluid.  YAY!  He's going to have a full head of hair like his momma did!!!
