Meet Hermoine

Meet our baby.  If we're friends on Facebook (and there is a good chance we are), you have already seen this.  If you're someone with a medical background or just a general interest in anatomy or fetal development, you may understand that this is more than just a somewhat boring ultrasound video of a sleeping baby with hiccups.  It's our baby's heart!  All four chambers, the foramen ovale, and even the shadow of an aortic arch.  It's beautiful.  Our baby has a beautiful heart.  It's also fortunate enough to have a nice little profile, too.  (I added a still of that for you.  Or for me.  It's super-cute, says its mother.)   

Oh, and his/her name is not really Hermoine...unless you ask Patrick.  "You can call it whatever you want to, but I will always call the baby Hermoine."  Fair enough.
