Ultra Experience

I got to see an actual ultrasound today. My friend is half way through her second pregnancy (sadly, she lost her first baby due to childbirth complications). She has been having trouble with spotting, so she had an ultrasound just for peace of mind. Her husband couldn't go, so she asked me to stand-in. Truth be told, I think she was secretly a bit nervous they'd find something wrong. I was a little reluctant to go in for the ultrasound because I thought it would make me jealous and sad, but it was just kind of neat. It is pretty amazing how the technology has improved over the years so you can actually see the facial features. He wasn't in such a great position to get a good "head shot" but you can make out the legs and arms and all.
