Ultrasound


On the morning of April 6, Kristi and I went to the Center for Advanced Medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital for the first ultrasound of our third pregnancy and fourth child. Everything checked out, and in the third week of August, we’re expecting a baby boy.

During the ultrasound, the sonographer, getting a lateral view of the left abdomen and hip, noted a protuberance below the waist and began to type ‘XY’ onto the view, saying “It's sorta hard to disguise that,” to which I responded “I’ve been there.” Despite the large smirk that spanned her face, she managed to maintain a professional mien.
