Yay! Tell Druid to hurry up and get that scanner working; I want to see the pics! Are you by any chance planning to do that super-detailed ultrasound... I think it's called "4D ultrasound"? I don't know if that's any riskier than regular ultrasound; I don't know that much about it. But I know you can get really, really detailed images from it - I've seen some and they're amazing. You probably have too. Anyway, just wondering.
I don't think we'll be doing one of the 4-D ultrasounds, but mostly because the place I'm going to doesn't offer it as an option.
As far as I know, it's the same amount of radiation being used, but the computer which processes it turns the image from being X-ray style to putting the skin where it belongs (so more like radar in that it bounces off the skin and goes back to be turned into a 3-D, real-time image). It's a really cool little piece of technology, and I think if we had the option, we would have gotten one of the ultrasounds done with the 4-D option, as it makes the face even clearer :)
I keep trying things with the scanner, but it's insisting on being stupid (I even tried cleaning the glass and adjusting the settings and everything to no avail), so hopefully Druid can work his magic with it. Sometimes, he just threatens to throw the thing out the window and it works better for him ;) Our tech has a survival instinct, I swear
