I think it's the bright thing right in the middle of this ultrasound image. Because, of course, in the Future we'll all have personal jet packs, even the babies...
A somewhat more recognizable picture:
That's a profile shot of FutureBaby's head. The other is a wider shot, showing some of the body. These are even less baby-like than the last set, because FutureBaby is now large enough to extend past the field of view of the ultrasound gizmo.
Estimated weight at the moment is 4lbs, which is a little big for 30 weeks. It's a little scary to think that FutureBaby will almost double in mass between now and the delivery date...

Thanks again to all the people who left congratulations and well-wishes on last week's ultrasound picture post. The positive thoughts are much appreciated, especially since it's been a bit of a roller-coaster here in Chateau Steelypips.
As you can guess from the fact that the ultrasound looks…
Kate's doctor called back after the ultrasound Tuesday, and this time the news was all good-- FutureBaby appears very healthy, and everything is as it should be.
There was one interesting little quirk, though, having to do with the weight. Kate mentioned last night that FutureBaby's estimated…
SteelyKid had her two-month check-up in Monday (her two-month birthday was Tuesday), and checking in with the medical profession means we've got the opportunity for some baby science. And it's not science without graphs:
That's SteelyKid's weight as a function of time. Like most babies, she…
Note added 9/17/2015: I knew it. The vaccine issue came up during the second debate and Donald Trump repeated basically the same nonsensical antivaccine tropes that he's been repeating for at least eight years. It rather puts the lie to his claim that he listens to experts and changes his opinion…
I have to admit the favorite ultrasound of my child was one of the early ones where my daughter was looking directly at the receiver. Her nickname, at least between the wife and I, was skull baby. Once her pictures stopped looking like Skeletor that is.
A little big for 30 weeks, eh?? I wonder where FutureBaby gets THAT from!! ;)
I like that you used the word 'gizmo'.

For values of "a little" equal to about 25% over the average . . .
Also, three different people have looked at the second picture by itself and thought the nose was actually a foot, after being told it was a head shot. Here I thought it was the *most* recognizable of the pictures . . .

Color plate facing page 397. Jet pack! How many daughters-in-law do you consider to be the optimal allocation?
The first one looks like a goat and a sheep. Is this "Mary had a little lamb?" The second one looks like a baby's head.
A little large, huh? How's mom's sugar metabolism? (I do remember feeling something like a time bomb...)
Kate's glucose tolerance test was normal.
(While Kate does not normally speak of herself in the third person, she likes to emphasize that she does still have an actual name.)
