Today our son is two pounds and nearly 14 1/2 inches long, or, to put it in terms of the Meat Scale, he's your average Pork Roast.
You'll notice he's slightly reddish in color, and this is due to the blood vessels appearing through his thin skin. He's still fairly lean, though he's finally starting to produce a protective layer of fat. This will allow him to regulate his body temperature because as everyone knows, it's extremely important not to undercook pork.
Though it's tempting to pull the little guy out of the oven as it were, it's critically important that we allow him to continue cooking. Though there's an 85% chance he'd turn out alright, a few more weeks should insure that our little pork roast is perfectly prepared in every way.
Can't wait to meat him! :-)
LOL... meat him. You know I love puns. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you need need need to write a book for prospective new fathers which includes your Meat Scale! Let's face it, how many men know how big a rutabaga is?? ;D
ReplyDeleteYou know, this one is slightly more disturbing than the first one for some reason! LOL
