Week 54 - I am Six...

I am six. Six weeks old. You might not have noticed me yet— Hey, what about me? Ahhh!! Who is that? Me. Is that you, Mom? No, silly. It’s me. I’m right next to you. You scared me! That’s what siblings are for. Do you think Mom knows? Knows what? That there are two of us? I don’t know. You didn’t. How big are we this week, anyway? Um, as big as grains of rice. So probably not. Boy, is she going to be surprised. What else is happening this week? Well, our hearts have regular rhythms and next week we’ll be 10,000 times bigger than when we were conceived. Shhh! Why? I need more naps.
