Isn’t technology sometimes pretty awesome?


I’d say 4D ultrasound has to be the coolest in pre-birth baby tech. I would have loved to have seen our little phisch this way. Maybe with the next one.

I agree that this technology is really cool.

But am I the only one bugged by this "pre-born" terminology? It's bad enough that "used cars" are now all known as "pre-owned" cars...but "pre-born" ??!!!!!????!!!!!?????

How else would you qualify a baby still in the womb, other than to say "pre-birth"? The "pre-owned" definition of a used car simply indicates the car has been owned by someone else (other than the dealer/manufacturer) before you. So does "pre-birth" not indicate the baby is still in the womb?

I guess I'm just confused as to why this bugs you, Lee.
