U-Haul my ass! No kid of MINE is going to be packing stuff into a U-Haul
if I have anything to say about it, with all the horror stories I've
heard; Ryder has a better reputation. ;)

Heh. The thing is, I don't think he's always head up at this point. I'm
just waiting for the day when he's strong enough to knock some air out of
my lungs when he kicks in the "up" direction. :P (And apparently I did
that a lot in the womb, so why wouldn't he?)

If I can't get Dan to scan them, I'll smuggle them out to someone who
will. :) I just wish we could have gotten a still of the head showing
the division between the brain hemispheres -- THAT was really cool.
Do they let you keep the pins? How big a jar will it be? And at least
you won't be worried about the pins getting into college someday.... ;)
