Convoluted

[beetiger]

(Perhaps this all belongs over in projectmothra, but somehow I wanted it here.)

This is about the time in fetal development, if everything is going normally, that the moth's supposed to be beginning to develop the folds and convolutions typical of the human brain.

In the meantime, I keep feeling more and more scattered and incoherent.There's data out there that says that the human brain shrinks during pregnancy. A news report on NPR this morning said that new research shows that people with untreated serious depression over long periods of time show atrophy of the hippocampus.

And I'm beginning to wonder if this journal's starting to look like something out of "Flowers for Algernon".

Normal. Right. Only once you can get some sleep. Which will be in, oh, about five years, minimum. Keep grandparents and friends handy to take the babe for a hour or so, so you can retain your sanity. Even if it's just so you can take a shower and a nap.

And actually, you can bring this stuff up over on furryparents, as that is what that community is there for.
