The Peanut

My mom started calling the baby "The Peanut" and I had no idea how appropos that name was until I saw the ultrasound from this angle.

A couple interesting details to note: First, there is a dotted line that measures the "head-to-rump" length of the baby. At 10 weeks, it's 3 centimeters long. This calculation also helps determine not only how far along I was in the pregnancy, but it also estimates the due date, which appears as November 5, 2008 in the bottom left.
