I've never encountered anyone expecting a baby who posted a copy of their ultrasound and said "here's a picture of my fetus."

SKIDMORE, Mo. -- Authorities looking for an infant cut from the womb of its mother expanded their search outside of Missouri on Friday as they maintained hope the baby might still be alive.
The search for the baby started after a 23-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant was killed Thursday and the fetus was taken from her body, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies were investigating the afternoon killing of Bobbie Jo Stinnett and they were searching for the baby, who they believe could have survived.
"The doctors who examined Bobbie Jo gave us information indicating we probably would have a live child if we could find it," Nodaway County Sheriff Ben Espey said Friday. "The child would be in danger because of being one month premature."
"Someone was wanting a baby awful bad," Espey said earlier.
The sheriff issued an Amber Alert for the missing baby. Police are searching for a white, female baby. The report also suggested that things to look for in the case included "bloody clothing or towels, possible health issues with the fetus and a freshly cut umbilical cord."
