Every Friday has become like a birthday for me! I love watching the videos talking about what developmental milestones my baby has reached. Today they talked about how he now has hair and fingernails!
"Fingernails, really?"
That's a segue into talking about 'Juno,' right??
'Juno' is one of my all-time favorite movies. The characters, the dialogue, the story, and the way it tackles a touchy topic such as teen pregnancy is perfection. But it always bothered me that what kept her from going through with the abortion was based on a lie: that the baby had fingernails. No, the baby has a heartbeat, it can feel pain (has a spinal chord), but fingernails? No, Juno! It doesn't, sorry. But it fits with the feel of the rest of the movie, I guess. It wouldn't have fit for her to be moved by the fact that her baby has a heartbeat or a spinal chord.
Well, regardless of where Juno's baby was developmentally in this part of the film, MY baby has beautiful little fingernails and toenails and hair. Probably dark curls like his daddy. Oh the joys of being married to someone with dominant genes: makes it pretty easy to predict what Baby will look like!
