He Looks Just Like J!

Last week we had the opportunity to go the hospital where I will be delivering, Clinique Edith Cavell, for some serious sonography. Amazingly, the screen on our doctor's machine, which seems to date back to the '60s, can no longer accommodate our future arrival's full body. I had never seen a 3D/4D (does anyone know what the 4th dimension is?) ultrasound, so I was pretty amazed. The level of detail is mind-boggling . . . down to the very last vertebra and rib, and each of the heart's four chambers - wow. We even got a preview of the little guy's face (complete with nose smushed against my stomach), and the resemblance to J is striking.
