our lil' turnip

If it's Week 17, then Prof. Goldblatt must be a turnip. Or at least the size of one.

Our sources tell us that the Professor's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone and that the umbilical cord is growing thicker and stronger. Or, if you prefer, the Professor is becoming less of a shark and improving the flow of sustenance. He/she can also move her joints with greater ease and is busy developing sweat glands. Given Goldblatt's father's propensity for perspiring profusely, let's assume that the sweat glands are growing thicker and stronger, just like the aforementioned umbilical cord.

Not much else to report on the baby front except that we've scheduled our big ultrasound on the 24th. Assuming the Professor cooperates (and we have ways of making that happen), we'll find out if we're looking at a little brother or sister for Mr. K.

Any predictions?
