Borrowed Baby

Last night I went to a friend's for dinner. She has a five-month-old baby, so I borrowed him to test out my brand-new babysling from anilina.org. It works! I liked it, he liked it. Very happy.

In other good news: the baby in my tummy is making itself felt! The little kicks feel like these liquidy "bluuups". Nifty :)

Feeling Squashy

So I'm jumping the gun a little here, but the news flash is: this Friday, junior is supposed to be as long as a small zucchini. Oh yeah. You heard me. It's summer squash time.

Right now I am looking forward to a) finally feeling a flutter or something from the little zucca, and b) getting a scan on June 5. We may get to see some sex organs--yowza!

Sweet!

This week junior is supposed to be five and a half inches long, head to bum. Apparently this is the size of a large sweet potato. Yum! But the more important question is... can the baby balance an olive on its nose? (Thanks to the blog on http://baabmallya.sulekha.com for unauthorized use of their image.)

How large is an onion?

The debate rages. How large is a large onion? It could be very very large! It could be an onion such as the world has never seen! It could also, I suppose, be a little larger than an avocado.

An Onion? Really?

We are moving back down the food-chain. Baby Center informs us that this week Junior will be five inches, the size of a "large onion". Last week it was supposed to be the size of an avocado. I am struggling to picture an onion larger than an avocado. Vidalia maybe? Hmmm.... getting hungry for guacamole...
