English Hothouse Cucumber

So at 26 weeks, the official baby length is "about the size of an English Hothouse Cucumber." How many people can actually ascertain what that means? My guess is not very many. I think that as the baby gets bigger, there are fewer and fewer vegetables to compare to so they are getting more and more obscure.

"Ragtime" closed on Saturday. It got great reviews and I got to meet so many awesome people.... but boy is it nice to have my evenings back. Shaun and I got to go out for dinner tonight, and on Monday we even started moving some furniture around to make room for baby. We're still nowhere near ready... but we'll get there.

At this morning's ultrasound, Baby M was asleep for the beginning. And I don't think she appreciated the ultrasound tech pushing around to get her to wake up, as you can see in the 4-D photos she is hiding behind the placenta, with her hand covering her face as if to say "LEAVE ME ALONE!" It seems that she has her hand over her face a lot.

Neither Shaun nor I are morning people, and neither of us appreciate being woken up. It seems that this is in fact an inherited trait.

Maybe because she felt bad for waking up the baby, the tech (Maria) gave me 12 pictures today instead of the usual 3 or 4. Some of them are hard to determine what exactly we're looking at... I particularly like the ones where you can really see her face. Or, the part of her face that isn't obscured by the placenta. She apparently is a cuddler, for she was cuddled up to the placenta the whole time.

Try to see what you can from today's pics:
