The Stermole Nose?

We had our 4th ultrasound on Friday afternoon. Christian, Drew, and I went to Stanford to watch the baby show!

The baby is looking more and more like a real baby everyday! The baby was very active throughout the whole show (even though I still can't feel it move). The doctor and tech counted tiny fingers and toes, watched the heart, measured the mouth and tongue, and checked the rest of the baby's anatomy. Everything looks good! Baby Ashlock is growing properly and is about 11 ounces right now. We are right on track for a February 8 delivery. Although Christian and Drew are certain the baby will come two days early--Super Bowl Sunday.

As we stared mesmerized at the baby on the screen, the ultrasound tech exclaimed, "that nose is cute as a button!" Actually, she mentioned our baby's nose four times! The Stermole schnoz? Maybe, but it is still too early to know for certain.

The doctor seemed to really enjoy the fact that we didn't want to know the gender of the baby, so she was very careful. We didn't see or hear anything that we didn't want to see or hear!

Middle School-isms

Kid: What are you having?
Me: I don't know; we are going to wait and be surprised.
Kid: You mean you aren't going to find out if it is a boy or a girl?
Me: Nope, we are going to find out when it is born in February.
Kid: But you can tell us now, right? We won't tell anyone.

You are growing! I have another teacher who is growing, but not as big as you.

Should you be squatting down like that? Aren't you supposed to put your feet up?

Have you squeezed that baby out of you yet?
