What the...?


Parker

So, once again, Parker refused to cooprerate when it came time to have his picture taken. I can make out an eye. But other than that, it looks like he has a squashed nose and big bubble lips. Actually, the traditional ultrasounds looked better. (Will upload once I get a chance to scan them.)

Okay, aside from a bad picture, here's the rest of the Parker update...

- Apparently, his head his large while his body is normal size. That set off the obvious movie quotes from So I Married an Axe Murderer..."Would ya look at the size of that kid's head! It's the size of a planetoid and it has it's own weather system! Looks like an orange on a toothpick!" "I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Aye, now that was offsides, now wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow."

- As for weight, he's now 3lb, 11oz. According to my online prego calendar, he should be ALMOST 3lb. The doctor also mentioned that while I'm at the 30th week of development, he's more like a baby in it's 31st week. Yeah, once again, BIG BABY.

- Another baby development fact from the prego calendar -- "His eyes open and close, he's able to distinguish between light and dark, and he can even follow a light source back and forth. Once he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have a visual acuity of only 20/400 รข€” which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face." Sounds like we have the same glasses prescription.
