what do you think baby bling is?

we had our appointment yesterday for the 3-d ultrasound. just as we were about to head into the city i got a phone call from the clinic, they called to inform me that they were running behind and wanted to push my appointment back 30mins. i said "ok," hung-up and was glad that they had the decency to call. this left me with high hopes for the appointment. not only did they seem courteous, but the reason they were so far behind is that the babies weren't cooperating and each appointment took longer than expected to get good pictures, translation, they knew the importance of getting good pictures, they didn't just take your money, slap some goo on your stomach and send you home with a bunch of pictures of knee caps. so we got to south san francisco at 530 to see some pictures of our baby ling. at 608 we were still waiting for them to finish up with the people before us. i think it was about 630 when they finally called us in. so i hopped up on the table (ok, so i used the step stool and kind of flopped on it) and waited to see the pictures of our little bling. he started with the 2-d pictures, the same ones that they do at the dr's office, to check the placement and see if i was going to have to move around so we could get some good shots. we saw the grainy, fuzzy little profile of our baby. he zoomed in on the head and switched to 3-d. i was pretty cool. then, he went back to 2-d to tell us the gender of the baby. he said we came at a good time to tell the sex, the baby isn't too big or too small. so i rolled over so he could get a good angle. so he poked around for a little bit and was able to get a good shot to tell us what the gender is. it was so weird to hear... now we know what bling is! it's so strange to know now.
so then he took some more pictures, but baby bling started to turn. so i had to get up on my knees and elbows and wait for baby bling to turn around. it was very uncomfortable. but, as you can see, we got some good pictures of our little baby bling!
it's getting so close, it's terrifying! i cant believe we are going to have a baby in our house soon. bruno spent last weekend painting the baby's room. he is redoing the closet now and it looks really good. we are moving furniture back in there today.
