Every week I get an email from babycenter.com and they update me on how big the baby has grown and what she is doing this week. I find these emails interesting, especially the part where they compare her to a piece of food. My cousin Justin likes to ask me every time he sees me what size the baby is this week. I hope he doesn't think she will come out looking like a watermelon just because she is the size of one.
Since I have enjoyed these comparisons so much I decided to share them with you so you too can see just how amazing her growth has been.
4 weeks: Baby is the size of a poppy seed
5 weeks: a sesame seed
6 weeks: a lentil
7 weeks: a blueberry
8 weeks: a kidney bean
9 weeks: a grape
10 weeks: a kumquat
11 weeks: a fig
12 weeks: a lime
13 weeks: a medium shrimp
14 weeks: a lemon
15 weeks: an apple
16 weeks: an avocado
17 weeks: a turnip
18 weeks: a bell pepper
19 weeks: an heirloom tomato
20 weeks: a banana
21 weeks: a carrot
22 weeks: a spaghetti squash
23 weeks: a large mango
Pretty amazing to think the baby has grown from a seed to the size of a large mango. Wow when you think of it that way it's pretty incredible how fast she is growing and I have to admit I've been doing a little work too.
