New Life and a New Perspective
The baby's head is the largest circle left center and he is lying on his back with feet in the air. The little dot amidst the black just above the head is one of the baby's arms (he was flailing at us as the sonographer was jiggling him. Just to the left of that dot is a black spot in the body of the baby -- that's the heart and it is beating really fast -- 150-something beats per minute I think which is apparently normal.
The really neat part was watching the baby do flips, and watching him or her burp. The burp shook the whole body.
I am still determining whether or not the baby is a monkey...the comfort with being upside-down is beyond my knowledge. Monkey or not that's our little monkey...
The baby is about 7 cm long and weighs approximately 3 ounces right now, which is very normal apparently.
But the expected due date is April 7...yes...this means that this is a birthday baby on my part.
The baby appears to be healthy -- two arms, two legs, a heart, an oversized head...the umbilical cord (I hope I spelled that correctely) is there, the heart-rate is good and the baby is active as can be (he or she gets that from her mother).
Amy and I are both very excited...I'm having trouble concentrating on studies and she's out having girl time with our neighbor. For the next day (or month) I'll be studying these pictures closely until the shock factor wears off.
We'll know whether or not the baby is male or female at the 20-month point if we choose to that is.

Dude, it looks just like you. Its a boy, and I'm takin' bets on that.
I am not a whale. I do not have the gestation period of a whale, or elephant... OF course we will know the gender of the baby in 20 MONTHS!
please change said 20 month period to the appropriate time frame.
Ha, ha, ha! Boy, I'm just glad it isn't me making that mistake. I can just picture the look on as-kian's face.
Don't be too hard on him. Who else is going to clean your house, and do random acts of kindness? He meant well.
I would appreciate it if the person who left the message I have just deleted from these comments would not respond to my blog again. I have some guesses at who this is, and I must say that I am ashamed and pity you.
Again, to the same person...get over it...we both know what I'm talking about.
you have a blog account. why are you afraid to use it? Too cowardly to confront your former girl friend of four years ago, or just an idiot who must lead an exceptionally boring life to try and elicit an emotional reaction from the husband?
pathetic, but very amusing.
Maybe you have the wrong web address or the wrong person, or you're obsessed with my wife and love the art of fabrication...either way find something else to do with your free time...
keep it up. you're amusing me. You must really miss the gc days when everyone believed your stories.
ps, your fabrication needs a little work. you goofed on your first entry which clued your ID. you're slipping, dude. you're slipping.
