parry the parasite (current baby name)
today i spent some time at ellie's place in oakland and was shown pictures of the baby growing inside her belly. there were helpful notes printed on the photos which said things such as 'nose', 'toes', 'hands'. you could see it's spine. ellie said that the doctor person also pointed out the spleen. because apparently you can see the baby's spleen in an ultrasound. is it just me, or is that gross? i'm ok with the head, hands, etc, but the spleen? the spleen? i mean, who wants to see the inner organs of something that is growing inside of you? that is just whack. i was even a little creeped out by the spine.
the hands though were cute because they were crossed in front of the face as if they were resting on the forehead. tiny little zygote!

I think you cannot call a fetis a Zygote, considering if you can the spleen. I beleive the best term for a fetis and then a new born is a “leech”.
Also able to claim this title are lawyers
