So “Baby Jack-Jack” is 27 weeks and 3 days along so far. Just over 2 pounds and around 14-15 inches long. He has quiet the personality already ![]()
I am doing great and got to see the dr yesterday. Jack-Jack is measuring spot on and I’m not gaining too much weight- which is great since I have some left over from Addison and Lizzie
My dr is so great and did an ultrasound “just because.” I got to see his little face perfectly! He has Addison’s nose and is just as cute as can be! That morning I had felt either a foot or hand just sticking out of my stomach and the ultrasound confirmed it was a foot. Apparently his feet were up by his head! Crazy flexible baby! After my dr measured his head/belly/femur to calculate how much he weighs, etc. he tried to get another face shot of Jack-Jack. He moved the ultrasound around and around on me and looked very confused. He then asked me if the baby moved. I told him that as soon as he starting calculating things on the screen, Jack flipped. So the dr kept looking and sure enough- Jack-Jack had flipped to the other side and was now face down. It was pretty funny to see the dr’s reaction! I told him about how I’ll try to get Christer to come feel the kicking when it’s especially strong, but the SECOND he puts his hand on my belly- Jack-Jack will stop. It’s pretty funny to me but Christer has given up on trying now.
If any of you did know- my parents are from East Texas and when we were being “squirrelly” my dad would call us Squirrel Bait- it’s still habit for me to call my kids that and right now it fits Jack’s personality perfectly!


I hear you’re on bed rest. Good luck. Ezra can’t wait to meet Jack.
