We've reached 10 weeks already! Whewwwwwwwwwwwww that was hard work, well not really. Little baby Castro has been hard at work since day 1! He is now considered a fetus! How exciting. His nickname now is Fetie, short for Fetus :)
He also lost his tail! Can you imagine that we all had tails at one point? How cool would it be to have a tail? I think if I had a tail right now, I would use it to hold an ice cream cone while I typed away.
According to WebMD, the baby looks a little like a medium sized shrimp, measuring 1.25 to 1.68 inches from crown to rump, and weighing a little less than two-tenths of an ounce.
Every Monday, I get emails in my inbox about how the baby is doing and his size. Every week it's been a fruit, ranging from a grape to this week's shrimp. Honestly, it kinda bothers me and I told Nelson this and he thinks it's pretty funny but I was not trying to be funny, just thinking rationally. One week (in a previous post) they mentioned that he was a size of grape. Guess what fruit I didn't want to eat or think about eating that week? Grapes! Grapes also have that gooey consistency that you would find in your body. I understand what all these websites are doing though. They want to give you an idea of what size the baby is inside of you, but couldn't they find more of a clever way to describe it? Like for example, instead of using a shrimp this week, can you say the size of a large paper clip? and also include the inches? Or how about a picture of a rules with the size highlighted? Just an idea!
Here are some examples of the fruits that they use to describe the growing being inside...
Poppy seed (ok I can handle that)
apple seed - not a food that you would eat so I'm ok with this too
Week 6 - pea or lentil
Guess who LOVES lentils - this pregnant chic!
Blueberries! Really? Especially this time of year while they are in season?
I'm not a raspberry fan so it's ok with me :)
Week 9 - Grapes. I love grapes!
Week 10 - Cumquat according to another site. This week according to Webmd, I have a shrimp!
The list goes on and on and you can imagine what types of fruit they have towards week 40! WATERMELON!!! Wow I can't imagine how that's gonna fit inside there. Soon enough we will be able to see!
