I am Kate’s raging offspring.
Apparently, we are having an orangutan. But damnit, she’s a CUTE orangutan! You’ll have to decipher what’s what, among all the squishyness. She’s big! Apparently about 5lbs. They think she’ll be about 9lbs when she’s born, but she’s also long. I guess she’s got rather long arms (”how did that happen, I wonder” says the doctor as he stares at Mark.)
Enjoy 
You’re currently reading “ Baby, baby! ,” an entry on uberfrau!
I’m just in awe if seeing Mina! I could recognize some things…..ie her chubby cheeks, spine, heart, legs and arms…..but the rest is beyond my brain to figure out what I was looking at! Amazing, just amazing!!! She’s soooooooooo cute! Love, Mom aka “Nana”
Here’s a little key to what’s what.
- The first circle the doctor draws is her gigantic brain.
- The upside-down pointer starts pointing at her hands in front of her face, then moves to point at her nose and her upper lip.
- The reddish-orange 3d display shows her in profile, including her mother’s nose and her father’s furrowed brow.
- The upside-down pointer then sweeps around her cheeks, which is where she is storing acorns for the winter.
- The second circle the doctor draws is her stomach.
- The long white line that gets traced is one of her legs.
- The glowing red Cylon-esque splotches are blood going through the umbilical cord.
- The next long white line that gets traced is one of her long arms. This is where the doctor says, “Get that kid a volleyball.”
- The next four lines, I don’t know.
- More targeting reticule/blood going through umbilical cord. The little seismograph at the bottom is first the blood flow through the cord, then the blood flow in the heart.
- FHR 167bpm is her heart rate.
- Next line is, I think, the birth canal?
The doctor wanted to get another 3d pass, but she had moved to be looking straight back, ie she wasn’t being cooperative with the camera. No clue where that comes from, either.
Hey Mark! Thanks! That helped with a few spots. I’ll watch it a few (heheheheh) more times! She sure is a beauty!!!!
WOW unbelieveable that we can see so much detail; Mina must really wear you down given all of the actvitiy we can see in just these few minutes shown on the video. If she is that big at 5 lbs., you’re not going to be able to keep her in the crib past three months; what an amazing child! Do you think she is already speaking in there?
I am so happy to see her so well developed and ready to come charing out; it is going to be great to see/met her in person. This really heightens the anticipation.
Dude, at this rate, she’ll wear her newborn clothes once and then you’ll toss them aside for the next young’un. That’s cool. She’s starting her fashionista ways early. I mean, you can’t be photographed in the same ensemble more than once. I can support that.
I dunno, Kate, with those cheeks, are you sure she’s not Marlon Brando’s kid? This was au natural, right, no chance they mixed up samples at the sperm bank?

Hi. Are you really reading this? I kinda doubt it. It’s all about the baby. But you knew that. Well, it used to be all about the contents of my uterus. But I have disgorged myself of the contents of my uterus. Actually, she was forcibly removed on September 25th. So now, we’re following her progress outside the confines of my womb.
There will still be TMI, both about her bodily functions and mine. Don’t like it? Tough luck.
I still don’t think anyone has read this, though…
