Wow thats so interesting! I wondered what
they looked like when you mentioned them
before but I didnt want to ask to see
them. Ive never seen something look so
much like a finger or toe. I know some
girls in school who had thoes but theirs
just looked like big warts. Thanks for
sharing  how r they gunna
remove them?

Zanny's baby has an extra thumb. Jenny
and amelia can form a club!
Did you know from ultrasounds that she
would have those? I can see how the
finger might have been missed but it looks
like they would've noticed the toe.

We're actually talking about polydactylism
in biology right now...Apparently it's a
dominant trait, and having 10 fingers and
10 toes is a recessive.
That's really kind of cool, though! Makes
lil .Amelia (and .Jenny, too!) all the
more special!

its not that its dominant over having a
normal amount of digits, its just that if
one parent has the autosomal gene, it will
overtake the normal one from the other
parent.

yeah...Basically there are about a million
or so people who have a dominant trait for
polydactylism, which is why it occurrs
frequently, yet infrequently. They find
(because it's a dominant trait) that
people born with extra fingers or toes are
more likely to have children with extra
fingers or toes.
A famous case of polydactlyism was .Anne
.Boylen, the second wife of .Henry the
8th, and mother of .Elizabeth .I. She had
an extra thumb, was thought to be a witch,
and was beheaded. Not so awesome, if you
ask me!

Normally if a child has extra digits they
just tie them off at birth, unless they
are able to move them like other fingers.

They couldnt get her feet real good on the
ultrasound but they did say that hey
'seen' something. Now her hands, they
totally didnt see anything because it has
no bone.
I had 2 extra pinkies. They were tied off
at birth. They do look like little warts
and boy do they hurt if they get hit!!
Shes geting her snipped off. The surgeon
said it would be faster and less painful.
She was suppose to do them the day she was
coming ome from the hospital but he got
called into surgery so he had to
reschedule it for tuesday.
Does jenny still got hers?? I would love
to see another pic of it!! So zanny if
you read this, post some pics!! Lol
