ultrasound video

as promised, here is the video of the 20 week ultrasound. it's about 13 minutes long, in quicktime format, and about 22mb (dont bother if you dont have broadband).

it's a little hard to tell what's going on if you've never seen one of these, but even still it's pretty amazing. I'll try to do an edited version soon, maybe with some subtitle commentary or something. meanwhile here's some highlights:

(these times are based on what my quicktime viewer says on the left of the timeline)

0:18 - the arrow points to his hand, which is over his head
0:50 - a good view of his spine
0:55 - the black spot is his stomach
1:15 - pointing out his boy parts, and thereafter outlining the "toilet bowl view"
2:05 - freezes for the profile view - his head on the left, looking up to the top right corner. the technician outlines his body
3:23 - freezes for foot view
3:39 - pauses for forearm and hand, which is in the middle of the screen
3:58 - measuring his abdomen - the view is cutting him in half at the belt, the black spot is his stomach
4:13 - skull view - the technician is adjusting the depth so his head is coming in and out of focus - she circles his eye sockets - he's looking down at us
4:49 - time for head measurements (until about 6:30)
6:40 - my favorite part! but it's hard to see on this version - on the right side of the screen is his heart, all four chambers beating in and out. super cool! then it switches to measure his heartrate
7:30 - his leg is extending out, and she points to it
7:46 - he's squished on his head now, and you can see the legs folded at the top. it freezes for an outline
9:07 - his head is at the bottom, and his arm is above it. he waves a little, and then swallows. (Michelle's favorite part)
9:19 - the technician shakes it up a bit, and he responds by moving his hand
9:40 - another good view of the spine
10:20 - he's looking at us and he yawns - his mouth is the white part, which I guess is his teeth buds?
11:15 - she circles his boy parts, comparing it with the cord
12:12 - leg bone
13:00 - see you next time!
