Brain Child (Day 29-31)

The next 6 days or so are going to keep me fairly busy. My brain, body, and head are going to go through a period of rapid growth. Of course, my legs will grow more slowly than my arms until I'm 3 years old. Kinda weird, huh? At this point I need all the Folic acid I can get.

I'm proud to announce that I have 38 pairs of somites. I have no idea why its called a somite but apparently they will form the bones and muscles of my head and trunk. my trunk.. my trunk.. my little baby rump!

I'm also happy to announce the official forming of my leg buds. I now measure a whole 1/4" long., supposedly (I don't have a ruler in here, remember?). But I'm like, 10,000 times bigger than I was at conception, which was only about 30 days ago. GO ME!

Mommy and Daddy need to schedule me for an ultrasound test (sonogram) soon. I can't wait for them to be able to hear me!
