Foods of our labour

When you are pregnant, there is a cool website (www.babycenter.com) you can sign up on, that guides you through the 40 weeks of your pregnancy. It gives you fun facts about what body parts are growing, how to prepare for the new baby, vitamins, healthy foods, etc, etc. I use to say to Brian I grew a nervous system today, what did you do?

This site also gives you a comparison on the weight (W), size (S) or length (L) of you growing baby. Horizontal and I have had a good laugh on some of their comparisons. Here is their list.

Week 4 Poppy Seed (S)
Week 5 Sesame Seed (S)
Week 6 Lentil Bean (S)
Week 7 Blueberry (S)
Week 8 Kidney Bean (S)
Week 9 Grape (S)
Week 10 Kumquat (S)
Week 11 Fig (S)
Week 12 Lime (S)
Week 13 Medium Shrimp (S)
Week 14 Lemon (S)
Week 15 Apple (S)
Week 16 Avocado (S)
Week 17 Turnip (L)
Week 18 Bell Pepper (S)
Week 19 Heirloom Tomato (S)
Week 20 Banana (L)
Week 21 Carrot (L)
Week 22 Spaghetti Squash (W)
Week 23 Large Mango (W)
Week 24 Ear of Corn (L)

  1. Hi Nic, very interestding comparisons. From what I know, isn't a spaghetti squash larger than the next 4 items? That might be week 23 to 26. Don't you just wonder who made this list? It is very funny however... Interesting website. You two are so lucky to have all of this new information. However did we get along without it? You turned out amazingly well. Love ya, Mom
