Tuesday Feet blogging

Results of the first big sonogram below. All systems check out perfectly, everything looked good. We got to see the heart (all four chambers), the brain, various appendages, and all sorts of other stuff that was hard to identify. As to the big question, we're still in the dark. It seems the wee lass or laddie curently has the umbilical cord running between his/her legs, which made it impossible to see what does or does not lie beneath.

Left Foot, with approximately 5 toes (along with the giant brain [left]):

Right Foot with approximately 5 toes (looking down the leg):

Side view. Crown of the head is to the left. Face, looking upward, is the brighter area running horizontally on the left. He/she is chewing on one hand, which is balled into a fist. The humerus runs off horizontally to the right about 60% of the way up on the image.

Hey Alexis, I wouldn't go that far...as modern-day Jewish parents, we are prepared to accept our child with love no matter which graduate degree they eventually seek to acquire...

Amazing how much like his paternal grandfather (s)he looks. I sense the soul and spirit of a poet (fist sucking is a common poetic trait). And as I said to my own sons, in life the most important thing is not for whom you work or where you work but that you are happy (in your chosen doctoral degree program involving the degree initials M. and D.)

Sorry this is so late, I can only claim the poor excuse of academic conference without a freaking internet connection. Woohoo its got toes!

Congrats. I'm really happy for you both. Of course.... your cat on the other hand may not be all that happy about the new addition to the clan....
