Entering the 9th Week

So when I asked Jeeves what a fetus looks like at week 9, a common response was "a God-given miracle." Yes, my friends, what is happening inside the womb of Amy Scott is in fact a miracle of the
greatest kind, the miracle of life. At week 9 however, it seems that "a God-given miracle" takes the physical form of something more closely resembling a tadpole with a fivehead and the arms of Master Shake from Aqua Teen (see image at left). Okay, well, it actually looks more like the image on the right, but who's being scientific here (Corey, I know that picture disgusts you, but that's what a real God-given miracle looks like).

At 9 weeks, that adorable thing is also in the process of developing its testes or ovaries; therefore, the countdown to knowing if we're to expect a wee little Henry (Hank the Hammer) or a darling Emma is well on its way. The intestines are getting longer, and Amy's starting to smell things all funny-like. She's the first to know who sprays the Misty Rain airfreshener in the bathroom. Pretty soon, muscles will be developing and an ultrasound could show a little bit of movement action going on in there. Exciting! Eyelids are forming, so amneotic fluid isn't all up in the fetus' eyes, which can only be a positive development. I don't know about you, but I can't wait for this thing to become "cute" as defined by societal cuteness standards. Let the miracle of life continue!
