Ultrasound = Ultra-excited!

Early this morning my wife and I went to the doctor's office.  Upon a very revealing ultrasound we found that we are having a baby GIRL!  The tech that did the ultrasound finally got in a good position to best see male or female organs and said, "Do you see those three dots? That means its a girl."  Personally I wanted a boy first, but I couldn't be more happy at the moment.

During the Ultrasound, I kept thinking about how it works.  I know that it sends out high-pitched sound and receives a refection of that sound.  But what I was thinking about was how the image is created from a software standpoint.  I think the image is made from a plane that is sent straight out from the sensor.  Now imagine all of the code that goes into getting that image to so quickly... not to mention the bliss that comes with knowing that I will have a baby girl come December!

We hope that you are excited with us.  We are both very excited for this next chapter in our lives and becoming parents.
