More
than six inches long, Emily now sucks
her thumb. This practice prepares her
for feeding after birth. Her skin is so
transparant that you can see the thin
veins and is vulnerable to her fingernails;
she may scratch her face. She is very
active and energetic. She goes through
the motions of crying and is equipped
with a complete set of vocal cords, but
without air, cannot make a sound.
