31 Weeks, 4 Days

Weighing in at approximately 4 pounds, Mini-Misner is now about the size Jason was when he was born (Jason is a twin, and was born a few weeks early)! Look how big Dad grew up to be! What is also significant about this weight and the number of weeks (almost 32 weeks) is that, while he'd have to spend some extra time in the hospital, if he decided to come early, Mini-Misner would have the same chance as a full-term baby of turning out just fine. Having said that, we're reminding him regularly that Mom's tummy is much more comfortable than the real world for now. Especially since we're still finishing up our condo renovations!

At this ultrasound, the doctor also included a video on the CD that he gave us, so we're showing it off here. What you are seeing is Mini-Misner's abdominal area (spine on top); in truth, it's not all that exciting, especially compared to the other times we've seen him flipping all over the place. As babies get bigger, there's a little less action since there's not so much room to move around! Mom still feels him kicking like crazy though.



Here are two other quick peeks at the (not-so-) little guy. On the 3-D one, as always, you'll need to use a little imagination, but that's his face with one hand up near his left eye/ear on the right side of the image.
