Lemons and Limes

Twelve Weeks this past Monday! Our baby is now probably the size of a lime! Or a very large Kumquat. Always our little kumquat.

From Raspberry to Fig

Today Matthew bought a couple of figs at the produce store. This is in honour of the growth of the little one in my womb, with whom I am now 11 weeks pregnant! The average size of a foetus at 11 weeks is approximate to a small fig! Last week it was approximate to a small kumquat; a while ago it was a raspberry. Not knowing whether this will be a little she, or a little he, we have taken to referring to this emerging person as our little raspberry or kumquat, as the size may be...


But I think that kumquat may have stuck.















Our baby's fingers and toes are fully formed...nails are beginning to grow and bones beginning to harden. I can hardly contain my excitement. Especially since, just in the last few days, my belly has been looking rather rounded, and not at all in a flabby sort of way. It is a quite firm kind of roundness!
