Butternut Squash

Apparently there is a butternut squash growing inside my belly. When I first got pregnant I went to a pregnancy website that sends out weekly emails telling me approximately how big the baby is that week, how the baby is developing, and what I may be feeling. Each week in the email the baby is compared to some type of produce. Today I am 29 weeks pregnant and the email I got today said, "Your baby is growing rapidly now. This week he weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is getting bigger to accommodate his growing brain — which is busy developing billions of neurons."

In the past the baby has been compared to the following: Some are the length of the baby, others are the weight.

4 Weeks-Poppy Seed
5 Weeks-Sesame Seed
6 Weeks-lentil bean
7 Weeks-blueberry
8 Weeks-kidney bean
9 Weeks-grape
10- Weeks-kumquat
11 Weeks-fig
12 Weeks-lime
13 Weeks-a medium shrimp
14 Weeks-lemon
15 Weeks-apple
16 Weeks-avocado
17 Weeks-turnip
18 Weeks-bell pepper
19 Weeks-large heirloom tomato
20 Weeks-banana
21 Weeks-carrot
22 Weeks-spaghetti squash
23 Weeks-large mango
24 Weeks-ear of corn
25 Weeks-an average rutabaga
26 Weeks-English hothouse cucumber
27 Weeks- head of cauliflower
28 Weeks- Chinese Cabbage

All this time I thought I was growing a baby inside of me, but apparently I was wrong, I'm growing a garden instead.
