WEEK
20
According to babycenter.com this week, the baby is supposed to be about 10.5 ounces and about 6.5 inches "from crown to rump." For the first time, they also provide a "head to foot" measurement, estimating a whopping 10 inches. The baby has already reached half of his birth length. No wonder that belly is getting larger.
No fruit this week. Babycenter left us high and dry. Luckily, I've learned a little bit about produce comparisons over the last 20 weeks. In my opinion, the baby is now about the size of a large, cultivated eggplant. This distinction is important, because cultivated eggplants (also called aubergines) grow larger than regular ones. They can be 12-25 cm long, which is about 10 inches. If you imagine the baby curling his feet under a bit, then you probably get the shape and size of an aubergine.Have you ever tried Spam & Aubergine Casserole? Neither.

What about YPWBW, they usually seem to pick up when Babycentre lets you down. I am just not sure you are qualified to make veggie comparisons. Nothing personal of course.
I checked with YPWBW and they had nothing to offer either. Babiesonline.com came up short, too.
I find this confusing. The baby certainly has not outgrown every type of produce in the supermarket. We've come to expect fruit comparisons. In fact, I demand fruit comparisons.
What can I say but write your local MLA, I think the government should step in on this one. Perhaps it's discrimination against certain types of uncommon fruits and veggies!!
