Sonogram Resemblance

As unlucky as I am to have a tricky medical history, my past has allowed me to have numerous sonograms. As I watch the little guy on the screen I can't help but try to look for similarities in features. This is nearly impossible, unless you are open to my vivid imagination. I've tried to match his profile and his nose, but I think I'd be going out on a limb if I actually said the picture was clear enough and my son looked more human than he actually does via sonogram. 

Still, there are certain points of entertainment in each one of these viewings. Just yesterday, the technician pointed out that Little Boy Klausner already has hair on his head. Once zoomed in, you could actually see fuzzies atop his head. I had an immediate flashback of my baby picture. At birth, I already had a full head of black, spiky hair. One resemblance point for Mom!

Next up, the technician said, "Well, it's certainly a boy!" And there he was, posed for the room to see all of his man parts in all of their glory. One point for Dad. 

At the end of the sonogram, the weight came in as four pounds and five ounces. I quickly calculated in my head. They say at this point in pregnancy, on average, the baby gains approximately a half of a pound a week. Add eight weeks at a half pound each, and we're talking about another four pounds. This baby can easily be an eight-and-a-half-pounder. Another point for Dad. But more importantly, I think this deducts all of Mom's points. After all, the bigger he is, the more I stress about my small frame. And just as these thoughts are bellowing in my head, the doctor says, "Now just remember, as a first time pregnancy, don't think that this kid is going to slide ride out. I just want you to be prepared and realistic." So what she's saying is that television isn't a good factor in determining what labor is like? Oh crap!
