I think you can see RIBS!

Background: Sent my mom a scan of my first sonogram pictures (only 10 weeks along). The best part of this is she was an OB/Gyn nurse for twenty years.

Mom: I think you can see RIBS in that sonogram!!
Me: really?
Mom: I keep looking at the diagonal dark and light stripes across the chest
Me: huh. I guess so…

30 minutes later…

Mom: Oops. The “ribs” were lines on my computer screen.
Me: That’s hysterical.

Love, Mom

"I'm named after the song A Letter to Elise by The Cure, and my middlenames: Klara and Lisel were chosen because my mom had a dream about having a daughter named Klara, and she promised my great-grandmother that she would name me Lisel."
