man chart

Remember that chart I told you all about a while back - the one that compared my fetus to a different fruit or vegetable every week?!?!?! Well, I came across this other chart. It's the same concept, but it's more for the men in our lives. It's pretty funny, check it out.

handy little chart

I don't know about the rest of you, but I get very confused when someone asks me how many months pregnant I am. Sure, gestation lasts 9 months, but it also lasts 40 weeks. I always get confused as to when one month ends and another one begins. Maybe I'm just stupid. Either way, I came across this little chart and thought I'd share it with the rest of ya

sweet. potato.

I know I've mentioned this website quite a few times, and I've posted similar pictures and descriptions, but I just wanted to take a minute to explain in further detail. Thebump.com is a website for women who are trying to conceive, women who are expecting, and for mom's. One of the features on the website is a chart that basically compares your fetus' size to a fruit or vegetable. Under the picture of the fruit or veggie is a short description of some of the milestones your fetus is reaching, and some of the cool things it's doing. Kevin and I really enjoy finding out "which fruit are we this week", and finding out what it's doing. It's incredibly amazing how quickly a fetus begins developing different features and organs.

I guess I shouldn't really surprised that this pregnancy is going by very quickly for us - but sometimes I just can't believe I'm already 18 weeks and 1 day along! With the holidays coming up I'm sure this pregnancy will only go by quicker.

Here's what thebump.com says about 18 week fetuses

"Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon. "
