Whaaaa...?!?!

Did you hear about Tom Cruise buying a sonogram machine so he can personally track his baby in Katie Holmes' womb?
Whaaa...?!?!
Exactly my reaction.
Did he fall and bump his head during the last year? Maybe doing all those stunts in his movies has shaken his noggin into a mishmash of stuff. That would account for all the craziness he's been doing.
Okay, so his crazy and hair-raising expression of love several months back may be attributed to love. And well, we've seen worse expressions of love.
And we've seen other celebs do more horrific things than buying a sonogram.
But it just got me thinking, you know?
Tom Cruise is an actor. He is not trained to use a sonogram. I mean, people actually go to school to learn how to use this and see the baby accurately, right? And just because he can afford to buy one does not qualify him to use one, doesn't it?
I've had 3 babies and from experience, I know that in my untrained eye, I cannot pinpoint at once from the screen what part of the baby I am seeing.
Did you see that episode from "Friends" where Rachel was having her first sonogram? She started to cry because she could not see the baby. I found that to be so hilariously true! Sometimes, the baby, especially in the beginning does not really look much like a baby!
Now, back to this personal sonogram machine... I wonder how often Tom Cruise plops his pregnant fiancee onto the bed to watch their baby. Is that even safe? I remember reading an article when I was pregnant that though the sonogram only emits very minimal rays (or whatever it uses to see the image) and is safe for the baby, over-exposure may be harmful too.

Maybe Tom Cruise is preparing the baby for the inevitable paparazzi that will hound them? But poor baby, not even born, already hounded by paparazzi in the form of his/her very own daddy!
