I bet he said, “Awww, what a cute clump of tissue that is.”
Well, I've always had rather mixed feelings about obstetrical ultrasounds.
On the one hand, it was when I saw an ultrasound of our (not yet) first born child that I began to really feel like I was going to be a father. It's the the first picture in the baby book.
Nevertheless, the unspoken question asked by an ultrasound or amniocentesis procedure is something like this:
"So, what have you got there? Is it a baby or a lump of tissue?"
I thank Heaven that we've had three easy answers to that.
