Well, that's a bit what Newbie looked like in the sonogram we had yesterday. We needed to confirm that Newbie was indeed head down (and that's what we found), but it gave us a chance to take a peek in on the babe during these last few weeks. It's really hard to see anything when the baby is so big at this point, but Newbie happened to be awake and alert...and doing a bit of thumb-sucking!!
Why Hitchcock? Well, if you think of the film-maker's famous profile, it's a bit easier to make out the features of Newbie's face...the cheeks, nose, and where the hand is covering the nose (Newbie sucks thumb open-handed, apparently). Take a look:
We've already speculated as to whether this means Newbie will be a thumb-sucker outside of the womb, but we prefer to think this means that s/he will be a self-soother with a healthy suckling instinct.
But really...wow...that was really fun to watch, and made it all the more real how...well...REAL this is!
