18 Weeks and baby is the size of a sweet potato. A sweet potato? Really? At the grocery store I always have to dig though all of the sweet potatoes to get the small ones because some of those puppies are big! I googled "baby size of sweet potato" to see what measurements we were talking about and some idiot commented,
"The tracker provides weights and measurements so that you know what size sweet potato to compare with baby. The fruits and veggies on this tracker are just rough estimates of baby's size."No shit Sherlock? My baby really isn't a 16 inch yam dick? Good thing you cleared that up! Too bad though, baby Strawberry Schlong and lil' Mushroom Head were looking for a new phallic friend.
Enough penis talk, it's not even gender reveal yet! I've been a bit worried about my diet lately as I have had a not-so-secret affair with all things Snickers. To make myself feel better I bought the generic brand in hopes that it just wouldn't be the same. Bzzt! Wrong. I am now in the midst of a heated food menage a trois: Julia, Snickers and Woolworth's Select Peanut Obsession... I've also been over doing it with the dairy. Let's just say our bedroom doesn't really smell like flowers in the evening. I have to announce when it's safe to enter. On the bright side, I read:
Your baby’s bones are ossifying, meaning they’re getting stronger and are less like cartilage. Watch your calcium intake and make sure you’re getting enough dairy foods (YEA!). Even if you’re not a milk drinker get into some cheese (Check), yoghurt (Check), custard, ice-cream (Check, check, check), fish with edible bones (Barf) and even almonds (Check).Ok, now I'm not feeling so bad. Basically, I just have to eat some custard and I'm set. Snickers custard counts right? This baby is going to have titanium grade bones.
I really haven't had any crazy cravings but secretly hoping I get some. I would love to walk around school dipping chalk into a jar of mayo. I thought I had a craving for fish and made some tonight. Turns out I still don't like fish.
Today I also found our baby naming book (from Aunty Jess) in the toilet. Well not IN the actual toilet, but in the room with the toilet (FYI: bathroom and toilet are often separate in Australia). It's right on top of his accumulating Pearl Jam members and Broncos' magazines. On top! I was so proud of Andy. You must be pregnant when you tear up over feces speckled reading material.
