or maybe part 2. I don't know.
Okay, I have already done a post on ultrasounds but, now I have the perfect example of what I was talking about. If you just don't feel like going back and reading that one, I will recap.
I made some interesting points, made some amazingly funny jokes, and compared 2D ultrasounds to 3 and 4D ultrasounds by way of some more amazingly funny jokes. I am too lazy to go back and read that post as well. But I am certain it was funny.
Basically, This is 2D.

Basically, This is 2D.
And this is 3D (Sometimes they are more orange in color).
And 4D is 3D that moves through space and time. Okay, I actually don't remember all the points I brought up in the last one. So, I will go read it real quick and get back to you. In the mean time, here is a video to watch.
Right then. Okay, basically I illustrated the difference between the formats and how hard it is to see 2D for some. I also cautioned that some images in 3D might look a little scary. So, here are some images we just got. I will walk you through them. Oh yeah, the above images are of our little Hubigail as well as those to come.
This one is a bit melty faced. You may notice that there are weird growths coming out of his head at times. The curl on the right side is his hand. the blob that keeps appearing in front of his face is his leg. Most of the other stuff would be my wife's beautiful and amazing innards. It is all a matter of finding the right focusing depth with the equipment. Your kid most likely does not have melty skin. Your ultrasound tech will most likely let you know if it does.
Here is a nice clay faced baby with a ghost leg. Again, focal depth. I am pretty sure there is not a ghost in there kicking him in the face. I could be wrong.
Here you can see that most of his head is missing. He does, in fact, not have a brain.
As you can see, he does have a full head after all. And some really cool veins all over his head. Or as they call it in the business, "hair". Yep, stuff looks kind of weird in these. I am guessing his little ear is flipped up for this shot due to the confined space. If you doubt me, try this simulation. Go get a friend. Go find a window. Have your friend stand on the opposite side of the window with a camera. Now smash your face against the glass. Take your hands and place them on your head and face and push your skin toward the window. Or, you can get some clear plastic cling wrap and wrap it anound your head. While you are at it, pull one foot up over your shoulder. Position your other leg next to the first leg but rest your toes on your eye lid. Now have your friend take a decent picture of you. How does your ear look?
Aaaaaand then there is this one. You might see a deformed mutant. All I can see when I look at this picture is an overweight old timey British guy from the movies eating greasy food. You may not see it so here is an illustration right out of my brain.
See, old timey british guy. i win because i am the only one who submitted a picture. For all the failed attempts at that perfect shot, you just might end up with a decent look at your little cutie.
Here is a pretty good look at our sleepy little angel folded in half and looking adorable. Look at that smooshy little nose. I can't wait to steal it.
So, I guess all I have to say about 2D vs. 3D is that two dimensional images are fun. They give you a vague idea of what your little one is going to look like in a very abstract cartoonish way.

3D gives you no choice but to see your little rib kicker as exactly what it is, a beautiful little child. That picture is of my son and dammit, he is a good looking kid. I can't wait to meet him. We still have a few months to go before that happens. But, we will get another chance to see him in six weeks.
