Yet Another Baby-Related Unsolicited Confession

A reader's comment on this previous post reminded me of a story:

Once, when I was having a non-baby-related ultrasound, I insisted that the technician print me a picture of my empty womb. She shrugged her shoulders and complied.

And then I brought it to work and hung it on my cube wall - where it stayed for YEARS.

Not my uterus.

  2. Damn, I should've asked for one when I had an ultra sound a couple months ago!

  3. This is amazing. I'm asking for one next time I'm forced to get an ultra sound and making it my facebook picture. Now I'll finally fit in with all my late 20 something early 30 something friends!

  4. I am shocked by all the 'ultrasound-envy'. Could Summer make up a word to describe that??

  5. Chris -- my uterus photo is in my box of photos. But I couldn't be bothered to scan it. Plus, it seems like sort of, I don't know, intimate.

    Am I right you guys? Us non-moms need to post private innards photos. I think we should also post photos of our nipples. I mean, new moms get away with it, right? In those nursing photos?

  6. My uterus is, dare I say, smaller and cuter.
