We have a thumb-sucker

Cutest thing EVER! My friend and I (who is also pregnant) decided to "see what the kids were up to". Since we were at work we decided to scan ourselves. My friend who is 6 weeks pregnant wanted to see a heartbeat and I wanted to see if B finally decided to rest (he was doing some kickies and flippies all morning and afternoon). She went first and sure enough her little grain of rice had a ticker, it brought back memories of when I first saw B's heart fluttering. My turn was next, and sure enough B was resting... with is hand in his mouth. It was so cool to watch him sucking away at his hand or thumb (hard to tell which). We were just watching his tongue do the sucking movement and every once in awhile he would swallow some fluid and we would watch it go down. It was so cute, I wanted to just take him out for a moment and snuggle him. It totally made my night!

Baby update: He is about 11 inches long and weighs roughly 1 pound. His eyes are formed although the iris (color part of eye) still lacks pigment. Fine hair covers his body and he is packing on the fat for warmth.
