Baby Shrimp


According to today's sonogram, Baby G weighs 5 lbs, 2 ounces. That's a bit on the small side for a 36 week, 2 day baby. That said, the baby looks healthy. The doctor assured us that we don't have anything to worry about, that the baby is just "a little shrimp." We love shrimp...so that's ok with us. Just to play it safe, I am going to go back for sonograms twice a week moving forward. Can't say I mind because it's a lot of fun to see the baby and the hospital is only two blocks away.

The image above is a face-front view. Click to zoom. Looks like it might have my cheeks. It also looks like the eyes are open, doesn't it? It's probably just a shadow, but can you see something that looks like the irises and pupils, too?

The image below is a profile - moving from L to R, you start with the chin (unmistakably Alex's!), then the lips, nose, eye socket, browline and forehead. The baby's hand is up near the face, right above the nose and eye area...looks more like a blob than a hand.
