When my nephew was being born, we were waiting outside the delivery room, and eventually the nurse-midwife came out, looking tired, and said "He's up here," gesturing to her chest, "and he's a horse!"

That made us laugh a lot and we still crack jokes about it.

Si, bambino!

Man don't I know it? We have been looking at a lot of ultrasounds lately (for some reason) and half of them freak me out. They do a great job of making the fetus look completely bizarre.

When it's not just a static image, though, it's much clearer. I wish they could give us a DVD of the whole session.

Very little! I think it's about 6 inches long (head to rump). It was so exciting getting the ultrasound done!
