Stages

inside my specially prepared womb you're now firmly attached to me now you're embedded you'll come everywhere with me here you'll be well nourished developing from just one cell i wonder what you look like only my book can tell just shorter than my eyelash you're forming and growing fast your tiny brain begins to grow only a month has passed the size of my little fingernail tiny limb buds appear the link strenghens between us your features become more clear now the size of my thumbnail you begin to take more shape your heart beats with enough force the blood through your body it takes an inch long, still smaller than my nose blood vessels can be seen through your skin your bones begin to harden though you're still relatively thin you have a more mature appearance fingers and toes start to be defined although i'm unable to feel it tiny movements are being made by your spine you now exercise your muscles as you continue to quickly grow your brain and muscles are co-ordinating so you can kick and curl your toes now four inches long you've began to grow some hair although you're almost properly formed for birth you must prepare weighing a hundred grams the beating of my heart you hear you listen to my stomach rumbling sounds outside become more clear nearly ten inches long i can feel you softly move increasing so much in strength you are now beginning to prove your eyes have opened for the first time your body is growing fast fat stores have began to accumulate six months now have passed although your skin is still wrinkled it now becomes more pink you're able to tell light from dark now you're able to blink in a curled up position chin resting on your chest arms and legs are now crossed you are moving less over one foot long your skin is soft and smooth nails are fully grown you have little room to move all your organs are now fully mature you'll breathe your first breath soon as you are fully developed and soon to leave my womb
