he can't run, but he can try to hide

I realize that, despite the somersaults it sometimes feels like he's turning, there's not a lot of room inside me for this baby to stretch out and get comfortable, but nearly every ultrasound peek I've had of him shares one striking similarity.

17 weeks


21 weeks


Is he shy? Or is his hand just stuck up there by his face?

I'm curious to see if he still finds this position comfortable after he's born and has more room to move around. It will also be interesting to see if this tendency is reflected in his personality in any way.

Or, you know, maybe I'm growing a future Peek-A-Boo champion. At the very least, I know he has five fingers on that hand, so he's already got that going for him.
