We just got back from the hospital for another baby photo session. This was cool; the first live sonogram I've ever seen. Little ******* was all wiggly and refused to pose for us, so mommy had to shift around a lot.
I saw hands with fingers, legs and feet, a brain, a head (that looked like the metal Terminator skull) with eyes, nose, mouth; the spine and ribs, kidneys, beating heart, weiner, stomach. Everything is perfectly normal, right size, good heartbeat (150ish?). We're supposedly about five months along, due date is Valentine's Day.
It was so friggin cool! Except the nurse hardly talked, and whe she did was mostly unintelligible. I kept having to make her tell me what the blobby, morphing shapes I was seeing were.
"What's that you're taking pictures of?"
"Heart."
After ten minutes of captioning pictures RV and LV, I ventured a guess.
"Right ventricle and left ventricle?"
"Yes."
The sonogram looks like an underwater cave with sunlight filtering in from the top, which I guess is pretty accurate. The baby for the most part looked like some kind of alien, but we did get a very nice picture printed out. Eventually I'll get it posted up for those interested.
