We had our monthly pregnancy checkup on Friday, and G had an urge to see Junior’s face.  In addition to a standard ultrasound, more doctors are now able to perform a “4D” ultrasound scan (not to be confused with the other popular “4D” in Singapore).   In a nutshell, a 4D scan is a moving 3D image (or err video) of your baby.  The same types of sound waves are used, but rather than bouncing the waves directly, they are angled to produce a 3D composite view.

So even at just 25 weeks old, we can see what (and whom) our son looks like.  His nose and forehead definitely take after G (and confirms that it is indeed her child).  And the other “trait” that runs strong in this family is a shyness to photo taking.  The brief glimpse of Junior’s face was the result of some prodding (and poking) by our baby doc to get him to move his arms away from his face.  It really was as if he was trying his best to avoid getting his picture taken (just like mum and dad).  Hopefully, photo-averseness is just temporary, and like our chins will be two traits that won’t run in the family.
