Live from the Womb

Corey just wrote to ask if we were planning on having a live ultrasound webcam feature added to our website. Well it looks like such a thing may be possible. Everything USB is offering a new USB Ultrasound Probe that can take you inside the womb from the comfort of your own home, regardless of what state you live in. However, it's their description that really makes the sale:

If you ever wanted to be just like Tom Cruise and have your own ultrasound machine just perfect for looking at your unborn, possibly alien, baby you are in luck. Soon you may not have to drop $40,000 to indulge your insanity love for your child, you can just buy your own USB powered ultrasound probe.

Unfortunately, the device is still awaiting FDA approval and -- at the low, low price of $3,700 -- it's a little out of our price range at the moment (but it would sure make a great stocking stuffer). Personally, I'd be a little surprised if the FDA went for it. Wouldn't there be just a little concern about sending high frequency sound waves careening through the fragile brain of your developing infant every time aunt Martha in Wichita wanted to see them kick? Not a great idea.

Instead, pretend that this is our live streaming ultrasound. I keep telling Erin that drinking coffee right now is a bad idea, but what are you going to do?

i want my 38 seconds back.

Corey - I think Eric just promised to edit together some of our ultrasound images and match it up with annoying music so that you can watch the nugget dance. either that, or I just promised you that Eric would do that for you.
