Introducing Mortimer the Fetus


At 12 weeks and 2 days, we had a brief appointment and got to see some incredible pictures of the baby. It was swinging its arms around, and even "looked" at us a few times. We have decided that "Mortimer" is an acceptable name for this little sexless thing until it escapes the womb (or at least I [James] have, but I do most of the posting so I get to refer to it as I like).

Mortimer is just shy of 3" from head to butt, has five fingers on each hand, a spine, a beating heart, legs, and already is demonstrating signs of hyper-activity.

After seeing the little thing squirming about, this is now completely real. There is no doubt about it anymore. It's not just gas, it's an actual little baby.

A little Mortimer.
