Jill

The coolest/weirdest/creepiest thing you will see today.

(And yes, there are pictures and descriptions of fetus-faces at that link, as the title would imply. So if you don’t want to look at fetus-faces — they look kind of like modern sculpture and then pigs? — I would not click).

  5. I dunno, it looks kinda awesome – it looks like something from outer space! And then it suddenly starts becoming all human-like and shit. Wow.

  7. I think it’s neat…especially when you think of how even people like Brad Pitt started out looking all weird like that 😉

    Also, I want to know what my baby’s face looks like SO BADLY! But I have to wait another two and a half months or so 🙁

  8. I’m relatively certain my baby is going to come out with a poof of smoke, tattoos, and a beard.

  9. Well, that explains how cleft palates happen.

    And while it unnerved me, I found it fascinating, because now I *do* see how both cleft palates and cleft palate surgery happen. And maybe if more people see this, the more sympathy they will have for persons who suffer this lapse in formation and the more help/donations they will extend. That would be a good thing.
