Grandson,
Last night I felt you move for the first time. People must think I'm funny standing around with my hand on your Momma's tummy. You are not very active during the day and I look forward to more kicks as you grow.
Momma is going to Tampa today to spend time with a friend from Collage. Her friend is also Pregnant so they will have a lot to talk about. They tell me they are going to get a 3-D Ultrasound of her baby. This image is not flat (2D or 2 dimensional) but gives a 3 dimensional view of a baby while still in the tummy. A normal ultrasound like the one you already did looks like this. The new 3-D image looks like this. They use this machine and move it along her skin to shoot a sound wave inside her. This sound wave bounces off you and the machine can make a picture using this information. This technology is used in much the same way a ship would map the ocean bottom or a war ship would locate a submarine with sonar. We also use sound waves/sonar when we use a fish finder to find fish underwater and see how deep the water is.
79 days to go!
I love you,
Poppy
