200 days til d-day

there are 200 days til roo's due date! roo's urinary tract is working, and its fingernails are growing. a big portion of the amniotic fluid from this point on will be baby pee. delicious! roo looks like a baby and has advanced to the stage that its brain can transmit messages. vocal chords are complete, and it can and does cry silently. the brain is fully formed and roo can feel pain. it may even suck its thumb. eyelids now cover the eyes, but will remain shut until the seventh month to protect the delicate optical nerve fibers. (from all that baby pee, i guess!)
