It’s freaky how much a baby in utero can look like her mom: [Mom](http://www.flickr.com/photos/22218681@N02/2787103687/in/photostream/) and [baby](http://www.flickr.com/photos/22218681@N02/7607566252/in/photostream), same nose and cheeks. ---

… I probably should not point out that my first thought was “deep fried or roasted?” Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of one baby, hopefully healthy and most definitely uncooked 🙂 ---

Congratulations! To you and tesseract as well. I had a baby 10 weeks ago and she is so cute. Those 3D ultrasounds are really accurate and fun to watch. ---

Congrats! Dad-hood is literally the best thing I’ve ever done, and I wasn’t even that much of a fan of babies or toddlers before mine arrived. I expect you’ll find the same. ---

Thank god you are having a 3D baby. I hear 2D babys are hard to raise. They keep slipping out of the crib. ---
