My son is that size. But not his nose.

I just read something really interesting in my weekly pregnancy update from BabyCenter, about my unborn son, Tommy boy, who has now been hanging around inside of my wife for 33 weeks.

BabyCenter told me that “the bones in his skull aren’t fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal.”

Pregnancy, overall, is pretty amazing to me. The fact that a baby is formed from sperm and an egg getting it on is crazy.  Now learning that the timing works out so that the skull doesn’t fully form until after birth, that way that baby can actually be delivered is incredible.

My son, who has yet to be born…is a shape-shifter.  Not a shape-shifter, like you would see in “Twilight” where he can turn into a different animal…but he’s his own kind of shape-shifter.
