It's not only Christmas, but that time of the week when I check out what kind of food my unborn baby is as big as. Today, on the first day of week 12, baby is a plum. Thank heavens I'm past the tenth week when baby was a prune. Couldn't these people think of a cuter food item other than a nasty, wrinkled prune? I mean, seriously. We're an emotional bunch as it is, don't compare our kid to the ugliest piece of food out there.

One other thing bothers me about the food size progression list. Baby manages to go from a cantaloupe to a banana between week 20 and 21. Does that make sense to you? Isn't a cantaloupe a lot huger than a banana? Oh well, what do I know. I'm just carrying the kid, I'm not dictating how big/tasty he/she is.

Merry Christmas!
