A Rose By Any Other Name

This is my sister Jilien. She was pregnant with her first child when I took this picture in Northampton, MA. She was blooming. Looking at this picturealways makes me wonder exactly how much a fetus experiences in utero.We know they can hear what the mother hears. But can they feel whatthe mother feels? Can they smell a beautiful rose? I don't think it'sany coincidence that Eric now loves roses.
