I also like the pint of Ben &amp; Jerry's at 18 weeks, although I went through my Ben &amp; Jerry's phase at like 5 weeks (peanut butter and jelly flavor!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-lime-a-peach-or-a-bulb-of-garlic#post-1310027 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 12:19:47 +0000 LovelyPlum 1310027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whodat: ooh, I've never seen that site before. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-lime-a-peach-or-a-bulb-of-garlic#post-1309931 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 11:33:39 +0000 whodat 1309931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is supposed to be a banana according to What to Expect (20 weeks), after being a mango for two weeks straight (a medium and then large mango?). But the kid is like 14 ounces, which would make it a pretty huge banana. </p> <p>I like the comparisons on the Alpha Mom pregnancy calendar (<a href="http://alphamom.com/pregnancy-calendar-overview/" rel="nofollow">http://alphamom.com/pregnancy-calendar-overview/</a>) -- she looks around the room and is like, "uhhh.... a jumbo shrimp! A jar of salsa! A half-eaten chocolate bunny!" This week she says "Your Produce May Vary" and compares it to a butternut squash, a carrot, or a banana depending on the source. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-lime-a-peach-or-a-bulb-of-garlic#post-1309890 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 11:20:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 1309890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A rutabaga! 25 weeks over here :)</p> <p>ETA: The Bump says cauliflower, and that rutabaga is 27 weeks. Oh well.</p> <p>And congrats to @thismustbetheplace: and @runnerd: on 12 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-lime-a-peach-or-a-bulb-of-garlic#post-1309870 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 11:13:12 +0000 mlm2934 1309870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wooo for 12 weeks!!</p> <p>And I'm pretty sure the one I follow uses a plum for 12 weeks.<br /> And it had prune for 11 weeks which seems depressing :) somewhere between those two right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-lime-a-peach-or-a-bulb-of-garlic#post-1309852 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 11:06:51 +0000 HabesBabe 1309852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never a fan of the fruit/veggie comparisons, especially since some of them seem so out of whack (week 35 is a coconut, but week 26 is lettuce? I don't usually see coconuts larger than a head of iceburg).</p> <p>I refer to the dad's guide: <a href="http://pregnant.thebump.com/new-mom-new-dad/new-dad-daddy-to-be/articles/how-big-is-baby-dad-to-be-edition.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://pregnant.thebump.com/new-mom-new-dad/new-dad-daddy-to-be/articles/how-big-is-baby-dad-to-be-edition.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-lime-a-peach-or-a-bulb-of-garlic#post-1309845 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 11:04:27 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1309845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you guys noticed how much the estimated "size" of your baby varies from website to website/app? Today, at 12 weeks I'm told by FF that my baby is the size of a peach, by the WebMD Pregnancy app that she is the size of a bulb of garlic (what?! haha), and by babycenter that she is the size of a lime. All with quite different measurements. Silly.</p> <p>Do you keep track of your weekly 'fruit equivalent'? :happy: What are you today? </p>
