Just Like Jaws

At 19 weeks on the dot, the little bean decided to make an externally cognizable appearance. I was on the phone with my Mom, laying flat on my back in the bed, with my hand on my belly just 'cause. All of a sudden, I felt a stretchy roll across the palm of my hand. Like a little shark fin pushing up against the surface of my belly from the inside (though it was probably more like a knee or elbow). It lasted just long enough to do the ominous "Duuuh-nahhh" from the Jaws theme song, and that is one of the first thoughts that popped into my head. How appropos for two lawyers to have a little shark gestating in there.

"Externally cognizable?" Do we really want to use language like that about our child?
