Update 5/1/09 – We found out the gender, it’s a girl. We’ve updated the last photo, tiara added.
Today was Megan’s first ultrasound. We got to see the embryo squirm around like a freshly caught fish trying to jump the net. It showed off it’s dance moves nearly the entire 5minutes the doctor moved the ultrasound stick around. It was fun, except when she tried to capture a 3-D image it came out a little fuzzy. Amazing what these machines are able to show:
This one really shows off the backbone.
OK, so here it looks like an alien. This was a really neat 3D shot the doctor took but it came out a little fuzzy. The leg is actually the left leg crossed over and the thing running down in front of the chest that looks like a churro is the umbilical cord.
So this one is a little hard to interpret unless you know what you’re doing. Luckily Brett’s razor sharp observational skills were atuned to the doctor’s orientation as she pointed out the embryo’s anatomy while capturing this photo. Afterwards, he found a doodling feature on the ultrasound machine and when the doctor left the room for Megan to get dressed, he went to work. Here’s the interpretation:
Excited to meet our new daughter.
Brett & Megan
Funny. I would have drawn it completely opposite. The head would be the “tail” and vice versa. The arms would be the legs. Good thing I don’t read these things as a career.
So cool! How far along is Megan?…there’s tons of detail already in this ultrasound!
love brett’s interpretation. hilarious. i’m so excited for you guys!!
Wow, are you naming it Morrissey even though you don’t know the gender yet? Should be a very emo baby.
