Framed sonogram picture

Anonymous
Flame away, but my aunt has a huge (at least) 16x20 framed picture of my cousin's sonogram (cousin is expecting). I find this tacky.

Could be cool looking, TBH

Yes, tacky. And also...weird.

It’ll be replaced by a fully developed baby’s photo in a few months so don’t sweat it.

Oh wow, things should get interesting when the kid actually arrives.

I’m sure your cousin is horrified by it, so you really don’t need to say anything.

So strange. I have a family member who did that and then also got breastmilk jewelry and had looked into the umbilical cord jewelry but her husband was able to talk her out of that.

I don't think tacky is the right word. Why does this bother you? It's not remotely to my taste, but I'd assume your aunt is just super excited. Stop being such a b and be nice about it. Seriously, this is something you thought was worth getting annoyed about? I pity you.

I am unapologetically annoyed by this. I find it to be very emblematic of our current "look at us, we are expecting" culture. Aunt can be happy--but a large, framed pic is a bit over the top.

But thanks for thinking of me.

Odd. Hopefully, auntie won't be at the delivery. The next photo could be of the baby crowning

My SIl had a whole photo album of sonogram pics for her first.

She's excited. Let her enjoy -- like someone else pointed out, in a few months it will be replaced with a photo.

We get too hung up on things like this that don't hurt anyone and don't take away from our lives.

She's excited. I remember being really excited by my sonogram pics for my first baby (though I didn't frame them). Now I'm not sure where they are. I have pictures of babies and kids now.

I still have a (small) framed photo. It looks so much like the kid looked post delivery it was amazing. Why would you care?

Ew, those pictures are creepy AF. Especially if they’re the “4-D” ones.
