I wanted to give you an update on Stumpy. This is a big week for the little guy which might explain why I fell asleep while standing up at Kinko's yesterday. The little babe is about 10,000 times bigger that it was at conception but is still only about an inch long. This week, his/her gonads will either become testes or ovaries. Stumpy's eyes are formed this week and covered by a fold of skin, though the eyelid will not open yet. Both the a rms and legs are growing longer. Stumpy's elbows are forming so that he/she can now beat drums and hug itself which is sort of nice because I'm not there to do it. The tip of the nose is now visible and teeth are forming under the babe's gums. In fact, the babe can kick now. So basically, there's a lot of pressure on the babe this week. When he's cramming for his organic chemistry and Chaucer 400 finals in college, he might say to himself, "I haven't been this stressed since January of 2007!"
Love you guys. Love the Stump!
