Today was a pretty amazing day.  Most of the day was relatively normal.

I went to work.  I closed some bugs.  I wrote some loose storylines.  I ate a Rueben.

But then, Katie and I went to the hospital and I got to see my baby in the grainy black and white world of the ultrasound.  I got to see its head, its brain, its arms and legs, even its spine!

There is definitely some kind of organic being growing inside my wife.  It was awesome and unbelievable and a little scary.

The only thing our unborn child didn’t want to show off were its naughty bits.  So…we don’t know a definitive answer on the big gender question yet.

I’ll put up a scan so you can look at it and pretend to be as enthralled and interested in it as I am, although that can’t possibly be true when it’s not your baby (and probably even less interesting for those of you who already have one or multiple children).

Still, seeing its spine?  That was something else.
