This Is What You Were Up To When You Were Baking In Your Mama's Oven

How in the world does all this happen in 9 short months? Life is magical.

If someone said to me, "I'm going to put a cell inside of you, and it's going to divide, turn itself inside out, create a sack of life around it, develop features that look like you, carry your DNA, and then you will squeeze it from your body (or someone will cut you open and remove the mini-you," I'd say, "The hell you are."

Most of us know how the start of a baby happens and what a baby looks like when it's born. However, most of us don't really think about the 9 months between conception and birth. Here's a hypnotizing GIF that shows each stage of development. Take note at when the baby begins to look like a baby. I mean, seriously, this process is magical.

This GIF was created by the amazing talent of Tabletop Whale. Thumbnail by J.Gabás Esteban. I'd also like to give a special shout-out to my friends who taught me lots about how special the baby-making process actually is (and by "baby-making," I mean the 9 months the little being is growing in its mom). Ryan Hartford Stanley, Lisa Goldstein, Laura Gilkey, and Jennifer Seymour, you all are incredible.
