I suppose posting this is sort of lame, as you can never really tell anything from ultrasound pictures. I never really got people's fascination with them. Still, I find myself sucked in, and I just can't help myself. I guess I sort of understand it all, now. It's a highly personal thing. That's why I'm compelled to share it with everyone.
Well, it appears this baby is 5 weeks along, not 11 weeks. That means this thing is about 1/4th of an inch to 1/2 inch long. It might look something like this.
At the doctor's office, I got to watch a strange man fondle my wife's breasts and stick his hand up her hoo-ha. My strongest reaction was not knowing where to look. Eventually I decided on straight down. Then, he pulled out this wand/dildo-looking device with something like a condom draped over it, which he inserted into my wife's vagina in order to get the first picture above. It was really neat, we even saw a hearbeat.
Actually, I found the whole thing rather awkward. I'm not offended or outraged or anything like that. I know he's a doctor and he's pretty much seen it all. I just didn't know what to do with myself or where to look. :) In all, though, I think my wife was more traumatized than me. But she rests assured now in the knowledge that everything's okay.
