When you get pregnant, a whole new world on the internet opens up. Forums, blogs, weekly updates, baby registries, amazon mom, etc. One of the things that I find most fascinating, and disturbing are weekly updates that include a “your baby is as big as a…” information. Some of the updates use food. For example, this week my baby was as big as an apple, or 4 inches from crown to rump. Next week, according to that same site my baby will be as big as an avocado, or 4.5 inches long. In my grocery store apples are usually bigger than avocados. Whatever. I found one site that said “eff it” to the fruit/veggie comparison and compares to desserts. In which case my baby is the size of a package of skittles, which is infinitely more fun than an apple!
