Baby LICKING the placenta!!

Oh my gosh, I just got back from my perinatologist and I had an ultrasound. The first thing the ultrasonographer saw was that my little boy was LICKING the placenta! HAHA. I seriously was laughing out loud and the probe was bouncing on my belly haha. My silly little boy!!
Everything else is relatively good - somehow, my cervix isn't changing much although it is slowly shortening. Peri is happy with its current length. It was great, my MIL was with me and cried the whole time - can't blame her, it really is wonderful. The only thing that is concerning is that he's so small. He's always been small but now he's really small so we're just going to have to watch him. The doc said to eat more but was very careful to note that him being small is NOT my fault, which was nice. Still, I feel guilty, so I am going to start chowing down a bit more. I go back to her in 2 weeks, so every week I see a doc, OB or Peri.
Other fun note? Baby very clearly looks like my DH 
He has the same nose and forehead - doc and ultrasonographer agree
Thanks for listening to my update!

Re: Baby LICKING the placenta!!
Well there are people that eat the placenta after birth.
So glad all is going well and that your peri is happy with how things are going.
Too funny!
I'm glad everything is going well - keep up the good work!

That is so cute! LOL! I'm glad they are keeping a good eye on you, and it must be fun to get to see him!!
BTW-- I've recently discovered buffalo meat. LOTS of protein and iron and leaner than beef.
Ha! I'm glad things are looking good.
I'm so glad things are looking good for you! ?
Go enjoy some really fattening ice cream or something. ?:)?
That is so funny, I actually know someone who ate her placenta, YUCK.
Glad everything looks good.
Wow, your baby is a weirdo
Sounds like a great appointment! Eat up - I second the ice cream. It has been my favorite thing lately.

Ethan was licking my placenta during my 4d ultrasound. It cracked us up!
I am glad everything looks good and they are watching his size! isn't it amazing to see a resemblance!
