Got Personality?
“I believe that each personality is complete at conception and comes in the soul of every child.”
- Taylor Hartman
One thing that has been consistent in my life is that I have been told I have “personality.” Sometimes (in fact most times) I think it has been communicated in a sarcastic manner. I have never taken offense to it…I am who I am.
In fact, in the Meyers-Briggs personality test I took last year…I was an ENTJ…Extrovert, Intuitive, Thinking and Judging. If you read my profile that is linked above…it pretty much sums up “yours truly.” I’m “special” :)
Today I was at the Dr.’s office getting our 4D sonogram completed to make sure all was good with our little boy due in September. It was one of the most outrageous experiences of my life-seeing this little person inside of me…really seeing him…and his personality already! Isn’t this picture amazing!! And, we still have two months to go. On the right of his head, the darker area is a shadow from the imaging…nothing to worrry about. Very interesting on what technology can do now!
The technician said that in all her years of doing this she has never seen a baby in the womb with more “personality” and as “expressive” as Baby Balbo. He hasn’t even been born yet and the word “personality” is being used. He was pouting, smiling, yawning, sticking his tongue out, covering his face with his hands etc.
We couldn’t stop laughing at how it was almost as if he knew we were watching and he was entertaining us! I even have video to prove it (I need to figure out how to download it off my disc).
Of course, my husband pointed to me (sarcastically of course)…because of my ”personality.” It must be hereditary… and we’re in trouble! Again, I heard some sarcasm in that comment.
How about you…ever been told you have personality? In a sarcastic or genuine way? Do you care?
Baby Balbo can have all the personality he wants…only another ENTJ in the house will be a challenge

no clue Wes…maybe it’s a marketing gimmick…since we had to pay out of pocket for it. Regardles, worth every penny!
Awesome! Congrats… he’s so handsome. To answer Mr. Hohenstein… Here’s the reason it’s called 4D:
“This technology is called 4D ultrasound.”4D” is shorthand for “four-dimensional”- it represents a 3 dimensional image with the fourth dimension being time. As far as ultrasound is concerned, 4D Ultrasound is the latest ultrasound technology. 4D Ultrasound takes multiple 2-dimensional ultrasound images, creates a 3-dimensional image and adds the element of time to the process. The result: live action images of your unborn child or of any internal anatomy.”
Thanks everyone for helping me out…science and me have never mixed…all I know is that the experience brought my bonding to an entire new level. I need to figure out how to post he video…it is amazing when he smiles.
Two things….your ultrasound looks great, very exciting to see what baby might look like! HOWEVER…as the local scientist on staff…I must debate the name “4D” ultrasound…..height, width, depth….and what is the 4th dimension?? There is no such thing as 4D! Unless you are talking about time travel…just ask Newton or Marty McFly!
