Elinor craved Taco Bell the whole time last time. Now she seems to be generally eating well but craving nothing in particular.

And she's been LOSING weight the whole time which is actually pretty cool given the fact that everything is doing exactly what it is supposed too. She'll be in the best shape of her life once she squeezes the little dude out.

We'll be getting the critical gender-determining ultrasound Thursday.

Huh.  And all along I thought it had something to do with X and Y chromosomes. Stupid liberal arts education!

Ash, why are you guys getting an amniocentesis?  Is you wife over 35?  Are the any other risk factors?  Because amnio carries a 1:200 chance of miscarriage.

I had a 3D/4D ultrasound yesterday.  It was a TON of FUN.  I highly recommend it.



The rest of the pictures are here.

4-D?!?  What exactly is that 4th dimension, then?

Most ultrasound still images are like, "You sure there's a baby in there?"  (They look much better on the screen.)  Those 4D ones look pretty good, though.

Whoa, the 3D picture definitely looks many orders of magnitude more infantlike.  
4D, though, that is something.  A picture of the fetus tessering?

That is awesome.  The one of her touching her nose is my favorite, but the one where she's spinning stupid phat beats is hilarious!  

I think we've opted not to get this done, seeing as how we'd have to pay lots of money for it.  That decision could change if the doctor's ultrasound (the one the insurance company *will* pay for) can't tell us the gender on Tuesday.  

Congrats, Ash, on having a probably-healthy baby.  We'll keep your little dude/dudette in our prayers.

The 4th dimension is time, geniuses.  See, there's this SUPER ADVANCED technology in which a series of still images can be displayed in succession over time, and create the illusion of motion!

Wow, that is amazing.

I didn't see spinning, though.  Is one of those a movie?

Those are frighteningly adorable photos, Va. She's actually looking remarkably like a baby now (yeah, you would expect it, but...) as opposed to the blob that I typically tend to see on ultrasounds. A cute baby, at that.

Mad support to everyone here, too. May all be well with the proto-kid, Asherdan.

Nah, we just thought the way her hands were positioned in this picture looked like she was scratching on a turntable.  We don't have the video up on the site yet, we still have to rip and convert to a suitable format.

The photos are amazing but the captions make them all the more adorable.

Do you have photos of the conception up on the web too?

I'm very happy for all of you expectant people.

I'm also very happy that it is you and not me.  I've done my share of diaper changing, thank you very much.
