Formation

It is pretty spectacular how deformed a fetus is while growing and how everything still just comes together and falls in place. This week my baby's ears have achieved their final position but stick out a little. For some reason I have a vision of Will Smith-like ears on a baby in momma's belly. That is some special kind of silly.

The baby site reports that my baby is the length of a green pepper, roughly 5.5 inches long. I prefer to think of the BL 5.5 inch medium gun. For those that don't know the measurement on artillery such as this, i.e. the 5.5 inches, is the caliber or diameter of the projectile it fired. So while it will be roughly 10 years until my baby weighs as much as one of the projectiles fired by said gun it is as long as they were wide.
