what's with the fruit?

i apologize that this is going to be a pregnancy post. they won't all be like this... but you can expect one every now and then.

oh gracious me, it does feel good to be able to just openly discuss it doesn't it? ok... maybe that's just me.

anyway, i get these adorable little emails once a week from thebump.com telling you what week you are on, and how big your baby is. very interesting.

especially since, they compare each week to a fruit!!

currently we are at 12 weeks. so baby P is the size of a plum. a cute little plum.

now i don't really have an issue with the fruit. limes, peaches, raspberries, etc. Oh except for that 1 week when Baby was the size of a prune. that didn't conjure up the most appetizing images (if you've worked in a nursing home or a retirement home.... you'll understand)

anyway, while i didn't have any fruit issues. dave's cousin (coincidentally, my sister's boyfriend) did. he sleeps at our house on weekends when he is up for a visit, and he was having some waffles. (side note: baby was about the size of a blueberry at this point)

so he's eating his waffles and notices that they are just plain waffles. and he thanks me for that.

kirsten: "oh you don't like the blueberry ones we had last time?"

travis: "no it's not that. it's just that if i ate blueberry waffles i would feel like i am eating your baby"

funny? i think so.

so we are careful. we try not to eat our baby's current fruit - just seems wrong doesn't it? or maybe i am just being a little over the top. either way, it's a good thing i don't like plums.
