Fruit of the Womb

When I found out I was pregnant, the first thing I did was sign up on every baby site known to man: BabyCenter.com, PregnancyWeekly.com, theBump.com, etc. What I loved the most was them sending me weekly emails telling me the size of the baby, and most of the size comparisons were fruits. So I decided to make it fun and take pictures of the growing "bump" with the coinciding fruit of the week to give my friends, fellow bloggers and facebookers alike, an idea of the size of the baby... why not? I wish I'd started earlier, around the 4th of July with a blueberry, but this will have to do. So here we go.

Here we are on Aug.5th, at 12 weeks, baby about the length of a lime! Cute, huh?
(Not ME, the LIME! :)
P.S. I had also just eaten an e-normous Birthday dinner at Mikata, which more aptly explains the "pooch" here.

At 13 weeks, the baby now the length of a peach.


And at 14 weeks, the baby is the length of a lemon.

Here we are at 15 weeks, baby is the length of a naval orange.
(Seems confusing to me too, but I'm trusting these pregnancy websites here)

This is me and baby at 16 weeks, where we just found out it was a GIRL! Oh, and she's an avocado.

I skipped a few weeks all the way to 21 weeks (I must've thought the fruits/veggies listed were either boring or ugly) and the baby is the length (and also hoping the weight with all I've put on) of a cantaloupe. Actually, she's just about a pound in this picture. :(

I will take more soon, at this point the websites give you fruits by the month, not the week. We are 25 weeks tomorrow! Our 4D ultrasound is scheduled for next Monday, which should be quite the event with both sets of grandparents joining us for the festivities (you got it, all SIX of us will be in poor Sheila's ultrasound room! Don't worry, I've apologized to her in advance.) Pictures will be posted soon after-- of the baby, not the grandparents. :) Until then!
