Forty ounces in 4D

These days, Saturday nights are a lot different than they used to be. For example, last night we went to dinner at 5:00 so we could get the baby "active" for our 4D ultrasound at 6:30. Jeesh.

My first reaction to seeing our baby in 4D was, "Wow her nose is...uhhh...flat and broad". But before I could accuse Kristin of anything scandalous, the receptionist informed us that her nose is just squished about against some wall or something. I don't know, she looks an awful lot like 50 Cent to me.

I could go on forever about the creepy establishment that provided us this even creepier service, but you're all here for the pictures and could do without my snarky commentary. I will say that as creepy as these 4D pictures are, it's definitely different when it's your own kid. The experience was surreal, to say the least. My life as I once knew it is over, but I'm OK with that. Being a father is going to be very cool. Check out the pictures of her with her eyes open and the ones with her foot near her head - she's going to be a soccer player! There are some smiling pics and lots of placenta-snuggling. Weird. Oh, and it looks like she has hair too.

I'm with you guys, I think that she looks like Kristin,too. Those pictures are incredible. You're right, Helen, things sure have changed.

We love you already, baby girl!!

Dad says that Scott and Kristin are going to be great parents because they both have such great role models. Right, John and Kim?

If she's going to be a soccer player allow her to skip

The 'anonymous' was us trying to get this new-fangled technilogial whozawhatis to work

"Older Regans"? I prefer to think of you as the Young, Vibrant, More Experienced Regans!

Comments everywhere! I agree that the "Choose an identity" feature on this is confusing. I don't need to be labeled "The Regans". I'm my own man, damnit. Well, kind of.

The 4D pictures are insane. I'm wondering if I can take them to the people at America's Most Wanted to get an artist's rendering of what she'll look like in 20 years.

Hi Kristin and Scott, I love your website and look forward to seeing your new pictures. Your little girl is just beautiful, I agree she does look like Kristin, hope she has your curls too Kristin. Scott she'll probably have a lot of your features too. You too are so awesome together and will make terrific parents. Hang in there its almost here. I wish I looked that good when I was expecting. Can't wait to see "baby girl Reagan". Love to all of you, Auntie Linda and Uncle Paul.
