Jude's Big Ultrasound

Here's just a couple pictures from the ultrasound today. He is weighing in at 12 ounces and has a big round basketball head =) The xray tech also said that he moves around A LOT and that she hopes I have crib rails so he doesn't squirm out=) I'll give a full report on his health once I find out at my doctor's appt on Monday.

Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.

Yeah, I'm pretty much definitely pregnant =) I got my first stranger comments at the convention on Friday. I was waiting in line for the shuttle and 2 ladies asked when I was due and then a man told asked if I was expecting and then told me to sit up front so I didn't have to climb around the shuttle! People are soo nice to pregnant gals!

WoW!

Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby’s finally big enough that you’ll be able to feel those movements soon.

Can I just say I feel like a cow. I am soo uncomfortable and fat and I'm not even halfway there yet! It's all worth it to meet my little boy though.

Oh Boy!!!

Yep... I have a penis growing inside of me=) Too strange. I'm beyond excited to finally put a name to our baby instead of saying "it" all of the time.

I saw his goods as soon as he popped up on the ultrasound on the 11th. Can I just say how incredible that was? I wish I could buy an ultrasound machine and watch him move around and kick 24/7. Words cannot even express. I am in love!

Lock up your daughters world! Jude Patrick will be here this December!

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.
