say hello to claire… a little early
This weekend, we went back to the same Ultrasound clinic that we went to several weeks back, and splurged a little because we just can’t wait to see our little daughter’s face. Thanks to some serious mathematics, processing power, and of course pure awesome physics, we can take a glimpse under our skin with a simple sound wave. (If you seriously want to know more about the real-time rendering of the 3-D images for ultra sound, take a gander at this website. Prepare to get your geek on. You’ve been warned.)
I have to say I never expected the kind of emotional response that this experience elicited from me. It’s as if I got to meet my daughter for the first time. And I’ll be darned if that didn’t bring a tear to my eye. I may be a little biased, but even looking at these distorted yellow images, I think she’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.
Without further delay, click here, to go straight to the gallery.
Personally, I think she is a spitting image of Suzy. Her eyes and nose for sure. Suzy seems to think she resembles me from the lower lip down. You be the judge:
I’ll post the video’s later when I can get them compressed and posted to YouTube. Instead of the lullaby’s that were recorded with the original, I’m thinking of re-dubbing it (like a Kung-Fu movie). I’ll taking requests for potential tunes.
Until next time, I love you all.

She is such a cute baby! I am actually amazed, when they are that young they usually don’t look like a baby that we are used to seeing. They are usually skinny and alien like. Babies put on the baby fat in the last month. She looks like a real baby already! Cute as ever. If she looks good at this age, she is going to be even cuter when she is born! I agree, she does look a lot like Suzy… another reason why she is so cute…not that you aren’t Ben.

What a lovely web page you’ve made for your daughter. She is a real beauty and seems happy too. I swear in some of them she is smiling.

Wow, that must be so crazy to see your child with a face and everything! And she’s not even born! How exciting!

It was truly moving indeed. I honestly didn’t expect to be quite so amazed – and was even leaning towards not getting the ultrasound beforehand because of the cost. But now that we have the pictures, I’m so glad we did it.

It was so exciting to get a little peek in the womb… it made everything feel a little more real. I can’t believe how much she looks like us already – I can’t wait to see her in person!
