In-picture commentary Kim's, although in all cases it's based off of the information the ultrasound technician gave us. We got to see the ultrasound live for about 20 to 30 minutes, which was (and I mean this in the most accurate sense of the word) awesome. We weren't expecting to be there that length of time, but as the hospital needs to cover its butt in case something goes wrong (as the technician herself confirmed), there's a list of about two dozen things that they require the techs to look for at the 20-week ultrasound, including: Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, chin, the line dividing the two hemispheres of the brain, spinal cord, ribs, arms, all four chambers of the heart, liver, umbilical cord, placenta, legs, genitals (although on our request we have no idea what genitals those were), and a few other things are that aren't coming to me right now. Some of these things took three seconds for the tech to find (even Kim and I saw the ribs right away), and some of these things, given that we apparently have a "very active baby," took a bit longer, but they all were perfectly healthy as far as she could tell, and unless something goes wrong, these are, alas, the last pictures we'll have of Baby Sufjan (or, um, whoever) until he comes out screaming in about four-and-a-half months.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
