What a Difference Nine Months can Make...

Ultrasound of a baby at five weeks gestation.

Her hair is getting so looooong.

My gosh I cannot wait to come home and visit soon. She is so precious!

I am learning about the rate of human infant growth after birth in my human evolution class. It's really fascinating. For us to have the pelvis to walk upright in the unique was that humans do, we needed to have babies with (relatively) little heads so that they could get through. That's why whuman babies are so helpless (and so adorable) compared to other types of babies.

That was totally non-sequiteur but Elsas shiny red head made me think of that. She looks even MORE red headed that the boys. They have hints of blond but that looks like pure old ginger. I can't wait to read her Anne of Green Gables! I am so jealous!

I will be on retreat this weekend and may not have cell phone reception from now till Sunday....but I will call for the birthdays.
