Development Outside of the Womb

Looking back, 13 years later, once you get past the trauma and the shock of everything, one amazing thing to watch was her physical development. When she was born both of her eyes were still fused shut. One opened 2 weeks after she was born and the other opened about 2 weeks after that. Her ears were perfectly round and about the size of a dime but there was no flap of skin there or lobes. She had no eyelashes, eyebrows or finger/toe nails. Over the next several weeks/months we watched these things slowly develop.
