Mother-to-be has Jesus in her belly
Categories: Pregnancy & birth
My mother-in-law was convinced that Jared waved at her. In the ultrasound. There was something that could have been an arm and it might have moved... but she was certain he waved at her. People see what they want to see, it seems. That was, I think, the case recently with some chocolate drippings and seems to be the case once again with an ultrasound in Warwickshire.Laura Turner had been through seven months of a difficult pregnancy, including facing the possibility of downs syndrome and was understandably anxious to see the latest ultrasound picture of her son. "My partner and I had already been for four or five scans because my baby has a cleft lip, and it was another routine check-up to make sure that everything was okay," Laura explained. She added "We had already found out that we were expecting a boy at an earlier scan so when we went to the hospital we weren't anticipating any more surprises. How wrong we were."
It wasn't until they got home that they noticed what looked like a face hovering above the baby. Immediately, they identified the face as being that of Jesus wearing a shroud. Personally, I think it looks more like Mick Jagger, but then, I've never actually seen a photo of Jesus. Miss Turner went on "It's kind of spooky but also beautiful and we will always treasure it. It's as if someone is watching over Joshua. It's helped make us feel more at ease and although I'm not very religious, seeing the picture does reassure me that things are going to turn out okay and that Joshua will be our little miracle."
I guess I'm kinda jealous. The most miraculous thing about my kids is that they haven't killed themselves yet (and believe me, it's not for a lack of trying!) When I was little, I used to watch the shadows dancing on the wall at night and was convinced they were ghosts. Later, I learned they were caused by the headlights of cars driving by. I used to hear noises when I was home alone and think our house was haunted. I've since learned that it was nothing more than the incredibly expensive wear and tear of an old house. I am more inclined to think this is a bit of last night's steak-and-kidney pie rather than the son of God. What do you think? Could this be a miracle? Have you experienced any miracles with your kids?

It also looks like the kid is holding a binky!
I'm an atheist but I can see how you might see jesus if that's your bag. There is something that looks like a lot like a face, as opposed to the melting chocolate owl in the other post.

I think that it is a blessing that Ms. Turner has some comfort in a difficult pregnancy, and she has been given hope. After that it really doesn't matter, she is going to do better with some hope, and so will the rest of the family.

I experienced a miracle with my last pregnancy. I was told she would die upon birth. She lived. She defied all odds. She still does.

Whatever gets people thru the day I guess....
I'm an atheist, and I have trouble believing that someones god or the son of said god, mother of the son of god, etc, would manifest in a grilled cheese sandwich, chocolate, tree sap, ammniotic fluid, or anything else. Seems a little low rent.
But like I said, if it helps her, it can't be all bad.

Looks like one of those little knit fingerpuppets to me. But, I agree--whatever makes her feel better about her experience.
The growth and birth of a baby is miracle enough for me.

Ya'll, check out the Google AdWords at the top of the page: "Christ Ringtone: Send this ringtone to your phone right now, at no charge!"
Wonder what that would sound like? :)

Whatever floats their boat, but I agree that it looks like Mick Jagger! LOL! I don't believe in all that, but I do believe in ghosts (I have had an "experiance" with the ghost of my greatgrandmother after she died). But I sitll agree with Roger that it looks like Mick Jagger! LOL!
Also the most miraculous thing about my daughter is that she hasn't killed herself yet either! LOL! Always climbing and jumping off things! She thinks it is FUNNY! If she gets hurt she runs to me for a kiss and then back to doing it again! LOL!
As for the chocolate droppings, I don't see ANYTHING, it looks like a pile of chocolate, MAYBE an owl!

I'm not sure what that really looks like to me. Even after 2 babies and too many to count ultrasounds, I have a difficult time seeing anything recognizable in an ultrasound pic, without the technician's handy, dandy arrows and labels!
That said, I have 2 miracle babies! I didn't think I was going to be able to get pregnant, and I did, twice, rather close together! I had 2 difficult and high-risk pregnancies, resulting in toxemia and bed-rest with the first and H.E.L.P. syndrome and a micro-preemie with the second. So, it's a miracle my 2 babies are alive and fairly healthy.
It's especially a miracle when they stop running and yelling for 2 minutes! Aye Carumba!

I would try selling that picture on Ebay. I'm sure that online casino Golden-something.com would by that.
