Lindsey had a follow up sonogram last week to make sure all was well and during the procedure the technician mentioned that she was training on the 3D ultrasound equipment. The 3D stuff is entirely for impatient parents who can’t wait 9 measly months. That being said, when she offered to do the 3D picture for free (instead of the non-covered $150!) we couldn’t resist. The machine works by taking a series of different 2D ultrasound cross-sections and then stacking and blending them into a 3D image, much the same way a 3D image of a brain can be constructed from an MRI.

So that’s all the technical mumbo-jumbo, just look at this thing:

It looks creepy, and watching it on the monitors is worse. I guess it was kinda cool to see, but it is still a bit unnerving. Oh, also his umbilical cord is casting a shadow so he looks like Magnum P.I. That part was cool.
