We went for a 3-D Ultrasound to see how our baby girl looks like. It was such a memorable time to see Ava's facial features for the first time. She is so beautiful, and her lips is full like Angelina Jolie's. We saw her move, yawn and even smile. Check out the videos below:

We finally have a name for our baby daughter: Avalon Faith Sander. We went to the city of Avalon in Catalina Islands and fell in love not only with the city but also the name.
