Apparently, the kumquat fruit resembles a miniature oval orange, about 4 cm long and 3 cm wide. It's from China, but it's been imported to several parts of the world.Our new book, YPWBW*, says the baby is about 1.4 inches (36mm) long from "crown-to-rump". It is approximately 5g and is the size of a small plum. I know what a plum is.
Obviously, there's no expert consensus on the issue of fruit; however, we can be certain that the baby has outgrown comparisons to different types of nuts. Yes, gone are the days of the nut & embryo. We are now in the realm of fetal development & fruit measurement. These are exciting times.

And here I didn't think there'd be anything until today because you were traveling. I had to catch up on a few blogs. Ask Jenny what sore muscles are when the baby's foot sneaks up between your ribs or the head pushes on your hips. That's when you're ALMOST ready to say, "I'm ready to have this baby out." I know there are some maternity exercise/relaxation tapes. (think LIBRARY) Maybe something like that might help with the sore muscles. Also, continue to enjoy thinking of names. We were no help to Jenny and Luke last night on names and it's 4 weeks away. Knowing how hard it's been to come up with a name, I know I'll love whatever one they come up with. Helen
