After the ultrasound

"So, you really can't feel all that kicking?"

"Nope. Hey, what was the actual measurement? About 75 millimeters? And I wonder what the weight is?"

"Why?"

"Seems like it's probably pretty comparable to a mouse right now. And if someone somehow tucked a live mouse into my abdomen, you'd think I'd feel it."

"No way it's just a mouse. It's gotta be rat-sized by now... but yeah, you'd think the whole point with rodent-stuffing would be that you'd feel something."

[blink] "Rodent-stuffing?"

"We were pretty obsessed with it at my frat. [pause] Not like we did it. [pause] But we talked about it a lot."

Definitely a mouse right now- you won't hit rat stage (adult rat, that is) until about 20w. I have much random trivia rolling around in my head, sorry...

Congrats on the beautiful scan!
