OK, I did it. I said I wasn’t going to, but I changed my mind. After seeing some moms’ 4D ultrasounds and hearing about how they treasured them as keepsakes, I checked into it and found a place that does them. I did a little research and decided to surprise Tom and the kids with an “action movie” of their new daughter/sister.
I am so glad I did. What a beautiful, incredible experience to see the face of the baby you have already loved for nearly 7 months! So if you want to see a preview of Miss Schlueter you can click on these links below. I am admittedly biased but I think she looks terribly sweet. The rest of the family did too!
The place was called Baby Preview, and they did a wonderful job. They gave me a CD of the images, a DVD, and some still shots both in color and black and white. Now the only downside is that it is making me awfully impatient to get to hold this little pink caboose! The ultrasound technician said she has very chubby cheeks for being at 26 weeks. Must be those late night ice cream treats I’ve been known to have…
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
–Psalm 139:14
Oh my goodness!! This is absolutely priceless, WOW. Nearly brought me to tears.
God is such an AWESOME creator!!! that sounds like such an understatement after seeing these pictures of a beautiful baby girl. wow.
Bless you sister
and baby too!
and i agree she does look terribly sweet!!! you’re not biased!:D
She’s beautiful! I agree, she has chubby cheeks for 7 months. I had no idea the 3D and 4D ultrasound technology was so good. I am very happy for you and Tom.
How wonderful!! I am so jealous – I wish this was available when I had my youngest son in 1997 (the ‘primitive’ ultra sound photos made him look like a cross between a cat and Batman!)
How fantastic to see your sweet little baby this way – doesn’t it make all the discomfort and worry go away (even if just for a little while!)?

That is amazing! She is beautiful!
Oh Ingrid, thanks so much for sharing these precious photos with us! She is indeed beautiful and she is indeed fearfully and wonderfully made.. May I also take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to stand for truth and righteousness in these times. It is so needed and mostly lacking. Thank you and may the Lord bless you and yours!
This is amazing! She looks like a sweet cherub. I am so excited for you…only a few months to go now. Thank you for sharing theses wonderful picture with us.
Yeah!!!! She is adorable… being a new reader, I was not sure of the baby’s due date… how wonderful, and how nice of you to share… congratulations… now take it easy and get those feet off the floor…..
Look how sweet and cute she looks. I love the cheeks. When I was pregnant with my son, I specifically asked God for a cheeky baby. He was so sweet to bless me with a chubby cheek baby. Enjoy smooching those cheeks,
Jess
Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful little girl! Such a short time now until she is in your arms; I pray it passes easily for you.
Ingrid: These are so precious. God has given you a wonderful blessing. . .how can anyone not see the miracle of a baby in the womb to be L-I-F-E? Very, very special days these are for you and your family. Can hardly wait until she arrives. Lots of love and prayers to you and your family as you await her arrival!
Ingrid, I’m so glad that you did this, too! My first thought was, “What a little cherub!”. God is awesome! I’m so excited for you that I’m thinking pink and yellow and lavender, all three for this little one’s nursery! (Kind of like Tom’s shopping for all of the clothes!) Touches of sage green would be nice, too! A nice background for all of the flower colors! After all, she will be born during peak summer gardening season! Her cheeks are like full blooming roses! I bet you’re whole family is getting REALLY excited now after seeing these pictures! Love, Carol
How adorable! She is just priceless! She looks like she will be a cuddler! I am 1 week behind you and seeing these photos almost makes me want to go get them done too!
Wowowow. Very precious. I’m sure you will be gazing at these images every chance you get. This is what I did with my baby’s images. Indeed these little ones are fearfully and wonderfully made. Praise our Creator God!
Ingrid,
I’m so happy you decided to share!
I hope you don’t mind, but I saved the first one to my pictures so that I can share the truth when someone says
a woman should have a choice.
Thank you so much. She is beautiful!
Inge, Wow! I had no idea they could do these. She’s adorable. I am so happy for you and Tom!! I love that our big family is still growing and know Grandma Thomas would’ve loved it too!! I can’t wait to see pictures when she’s finally born. Take care of yourself. I love and miss you guys!! Love, Kami
Ingrid, Congratulations on the new baby. And thanks for keeping us abreast of the low spiritual and moral tide that we face. Pray all goes well in delivery and that momma and baby do great.
I love 3/4d ultrasounds. When we get pregnant (we have five boys so far) three dates get hammered out fairly quickly. Due date (subject to change of course
), 20 week ultrasound and 4d ultrasound. We definitely treasure ours. You got some fantastic pictures. What an incredible blessing!

Hey Ingrid,
thanks for sharing these amazing photos. Congrats on the pregnancy.
Our youngest just turned 10 months the other day & she’s just a blessing. I was blown away when we did the 12 week scan. God is amazing.
Prayers are with you as the pregnancy progresses.
In Christ Jesus,

These pictures are truly wonderful! What a gift.
I just read that Ingrid has been hospitalized due to complications. (See http://www.sliceoflaodicea.com) I wanted you and your family to know that I am praying, that my family is praying for you and that precious baby girl.
Praying your whole family feels His presence and comfort. And that He is guiding the doctors’ hands.

I can’t tell you how much your ministry has blessed me. I’m praying for you and your precious baby girl. God bless and keep you and your family.
Ingrid, I’m praying for you and your precious little daughter. There is a purpose and calling on her life. My daughter had complications during her pregnancy with her son, but he is two now and healthy, thanks to answered prayer! God is in control. Love and Blessings, Carol
Ingrid – I’m praying for you and little baby girl (just saw you are in hospital with complications).

Ingrid,
Just sent you an email a moment ago. I can’t begin to imagine what you must be going through right now. We serve a huge God however and I’m confident that this will only increase your faith. Our light momentary afflictions are nothing compared to the surpassing things that the Lord has in store for His people. My wife Julie and I are roughly 2 months away from delivering our first child. Amazing times! You, Tom, your fam and your baby2be are in our prayers.
Dear Ingrid – my husband, Glenn, and I are praying for you and your little girl at this critical time. May the Lord strengthen and protect you both. May he bring peace to your souls and accomplish his perfection in the full term gestation of the beloved new soul you are carrying.
Yours in Christ Jesus whose prayers we trust in.
Angela
Ingrid,
I have PM’d you a number of times. but this one I want public. What a blessing for all of us to share in this sacred moment of your family’s lives. As others before me, thank you and Tom for allowing us to take part in the joy you and your family are feeling.
What a precious face on this little one. She too is blessed by coming into a very special family. My prayers will be that God will use her to be a blessing to all she meets as you have been to all of us.
I wish we had prepared a better world for her to enter. I must repeat what Wayne and Julie wrote: “Our light momentary afflictions are nothing compared to the surpassing things that the Lord has in store for His people.” We are overwhelmingly blessed to have such a great God.
Thank you for sharing the wonder of God’s creative work.
Pastor Glenn
Ingrid, you may want to post this at the end of my original post and delete this one.
Note: Pastor Glenn is not Angela’s Glenn. Pastor Glenn is Sarah’s Glenn.
How precious of you to share these photos. You are in our prayers.
To God be the glory! Our God is an awesome God!
