19 weeks

Our weekly check of the fruit bowl finds that the baby is about the size of "the length of a slice of watermelon."

What?!? What kind of measurement is that?

Babycenter.com says she's about the size of a small zucchini -- very appropriate, considering the mountains of zucchini that are coming out of our garden, but hard to visualize because none of ours are small. The big ones are the length of my forearm.

All of this is supposed to help us visualize 6 inches, which is how long the baby is now.

Why does it always have to be fruit and vegetables? Why not something a little more cuddly, like baby animals.

At 6 inches, our baby is now about the size of a baby bunny. It's bigger than a hamster and smaller than a guinea pig. Isn't that much more clear?
