looking so long at these pictures of you

Gizmo,

Today we had our 34 week appointment and one of our coolest ultrasounds yet. A 3D one, which was a total surprise. You are a boy, a real boy! No longer do you look like a sea monkey or Mr. Peanut, you look like a full fledged baby. Today we learned:

1. You have hair! I LURVE hair on babies! The more the better. My ideal baby would come out looking like a troll doll. I already have visions of faux hawks dancing in my head.
2. Your testicles have descended. We saw them ourselves, full on. I guess that's good. Your dad seemed proud. Baby balls. Weird.
3. You are head down, butt up by my left ribs, and feet out under my right ribs. Excellent work. Genius even. Now just stay that way.
4. You are about 4 lbs 14 oz. which is the 50th percentile on the nose. Perfectly average. No shame in that baby. The tech thinks you are on track to be an average size baby, somewhere in the 7-8lbs range. I like it. 7-something sounds very manageable to me.

So without further ado, I give you....you.




p.s. The tech assured me that is not an accurate picture of your nose. You are smashed in there so your nose looks bigger. You may just dodge that Roman nose yet that seems to run on my side of the family.
