Little Thumb Sucker

Twelve week ultrasound today.  While the jumping hiccup session was very entertaining, it looks like we have a child in love with their thumb.  If you look closely, you can see it in the picture.  The baby kept putting it back in again, and again.  I wasn't too surprised, especially when I remembered Isaac had a small blood blister on his hand when he was born due to excessive sucking in the womb.  :)

 Lucy was twelve weeks when we discovered her condition, so this was a crucial ultrasound for us.  I'm sure everyone will be relieved to know that there is no sign of neural tube defect at this time.  I started counting how many of these ultrasounds I've had and I got to nine.  This was the ninth.  Isn't nine a lucky number in some cultures?  :)  I'm always so amazed to see tiny heartbeats, and kicking, and little fingers (even if they are stuck in a tiny mouth).
