Fruit (& veggies) of the womb

This week our little one reached 21 weeks, and he's a carrot. Here's a picture of the proud Mother and Child:



This image may seem a little bizarre to those of you who live outside the wild and crazy world of baby expectation. For those of us on the inside, it's perfectly normal.

You see, Jennifer belongs to one of those pregnancy cults that sends her an email each week describing the size of our little one. It does so by comparing the developing baby to a particular fruit or vegetable. Over time, our little one has been a lime, an avocado, a bell pepper, an heirloom tomato, and this week he's a carrot. Jennifer has heard that he will eventually be compared to the size of an eggplant. We can't wait!

In other news, Jennifer has noticed that the little one often kicks when I shout "Go Patriots!" And if you listen closely as I have, you can hear him "boo!" whenever anyone talks about the Giants. It's a very positive sign. I sure hope he enjoys the Super Bowl.
