happy fathers day
Happy fathers day everyone. Kinda feels like this day was created just so dads wouldn’t feel left out of the whole mothers day thing. But dads surely do deserve a day to be revered as well. I love ya Dad, and I hope I can do as good a job at raising my child as you did with us kids.
As a celebration of fathers day and of my own impending parenthood, I’m posting some videos from our most recent ultrasound. This was the appointment where we found out that little Gizmo was going to be a girl. I have to say that it was a pretty awe inspiring experience to see my little progeny-to-be fluttering around inside my wife.
Since YouTube only allows ten minute videos, I had to cut this up into two parts. And no comments about the music, this was all part of the “experience” that we received at the place we had the ultra-sound done. This was done right around week 17 of the pregnancy, so Gizmo still looks like an alien monkey. Frankly, a bit creepy. But also cute and awesome at the same time. (Gizmo – I’m sorry, in advance, for posting a video with your naughty bits all over the internet – it’s really hard to see them anyway. Some day you will will understand)

OH MY GOSH!! She is sooo cute sucking her thumb!!! Thanks for sharing the video. By the way, I think the music was a really nice touch. Sorry, I had to comment on that, even though you told us not to.

FANTASITIC!!! Thanks so much for sharing the video with us. The evidence for life in the womb always is an awsome and wondrous thing for me, even with my background in biology and experience as a parent and grandparent. It is mind boggling to think of the extent and complexity of development at such an early age. Just imagine what machinery needs to be in place to allow the coordinated movement of thumb to mouth!
It is also surprising that one can visually discern the sex of the fetus at this age. However, the 3D clip was so distinct that it is clearly believeable that one could make such a judgement. This was a great experience. I’ll bet the two of you were really excited as you viewed video for the first time. What a great father’s day gift! Thank you.
