3-week-old baby continues to sleep in the exact same position as in his ultrasound

A new mother has shared photos of her adorable newborn son sleeping at various times, showing a unique sleeping position, which is exactly the same position as in his ultrasound photo.

Michael Steppling is only 3 weeks old, but he already has his unique pose, one that he formed long before he was born.

When Sarah Kelleher Steppling, from South Carolina, was pregnant with Michael, she went for an ultrasound and on the screen, she saw her unborn child in a relaxed position with his arms behind his head. Ever since he was born, the boy has continued to stay in that same position. Whenever he is nursing or sleeping, he automatically kicks back in the same position.

Sarah took to Reddit to share a side-by-side of Michael three weeks before being born and three weeks after, and the resemblance is incredible.

 She told Yahoo: "From day one, this kid knew how to relax. He always slept with his hands up like that. If you were to go through my phone right now, you’d find probably about a million and a half images of him sleeping in that exact same position. One day, I thought to go back and look at his ultrasound pictures. I saw that one and was like, ‘OMG! He sleeps just like that now!’ "
