I have a cocktail shrimp!

Okay, so it's actually my baby but according to Parenting.com (and if my due date calculations are correct), our kiddow is the size (and shape) of a cocktail shrimp.

. . . Your BabyThis week, your baby measures about 1 ½ inches from top to bottom--about as big as a cocktail shrimp and similar in shape. Tooth buds are forming, bones are growing, and hair is starting to sprout. Her eyelids are fused shut and will remain closed until week 27, but she can hear you now since the inner workings of the ear are complete. Neurons appear at one end of the spinal cord, and the basic divisions of the brain are present. She can also bend her arms at the elbows and has distinct fingers. Genitals continue to form, but your doctor would not be able to determine the sex yet, even by sonogram. . .

Oh lordy. . . he/she can hear me now. That could be scary. I suppose I should start trying to sound smart so as to impress the little shrimp. And I should probably start watching what I say about people too. . . dont' want to give him/her bad impressions of the people who will be around.
