20.5 weeks

At 5 and 1/2 months developed, he’s already wearing his first (…and last, if he knows what’s good for him) Bluetooth earpiece. Attempts to pair with my iPhone likely frustrate the tiny brain in his soft, maleable skull.

During this ultrasound we learned that Emmett would in fact be an Emmett, and not an Emma. The nurse’s tact in circling a still shot of his fetus penis and annotating “it’s a boy!” made that exceedingly clear.

alien fetus Emmett

This is little alien fetus Emmett, about 3 and 1/2 months formed. Only a couple inches long (“tall”?), it’s the first time he’s ever seen. The audio system in the examining room lets us hear his tiny heart beat very clearly, and it’s incredibly fast. The most surreal of moments.
