Ultrasound Results




We are very pleased to announce that we are having one baby. Only one baby. One giant baby. The source of the twin suspicion was two-fold. First, my womb is apparently providing deluxe 5-star accommodations. Plus, I am apparently incubating Shaquille O'Neal. The baby is five days taller/longer than the average baby at this point, which is surprisingly a sizable amount. The ultrasound experience as a whole was certainly interesting (and perhaps a little oddly voyeuristic). It was difficult to take images of the baby or measure the heartbeat, because it wouldn't stop moving and flipping around. We were able to get some fuzzy still images, but the moving images were detailed enough that we could see toes. In the posted pic you can see the two feet at the bottom--the knees are drawn up--one of the arms, and if you look closely at the face, the outline of the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Thank god it's not a cat baby.

Be careful with the rapidly growing superbaby. Congress will probably call it in to testify in regards to steroid use in the womb.

Congratulations, Radues!
