Now I Can Tell You: When Kumquats Were a Hot Topic
June 15, 2012 § 2 Comments
Every week when I notch another week on the seemingly size XXXXXXXL pregnancy belt (seriously, this thing is neverending and I’m barely halfway), I get the BabyCenter newsletter, which for a certain period of time, became the highlight of the week. On this particular week, which is now many weeks ago, it said the following.
Your Pregnancy: 10 Weeks
Though he’s barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby has now completed the most critical portion of his development… — From Baby Center
A few minutes later, I noticed this thread on Facebook:
Frankly, I didn’t know either.
It was really hard not to comment: ONE OF THOSE IS INSIDE ME.
Which, in retrospect, would have been really confusing to people, and really awesome.
i really enjoy the fruit references each week.
I keep wondering what it will be at 40 weeks but I don’t want spoilers. It would be awesome if it was, “Your baby is now the size of a baby.”
