Produce section

The little cub is about 5 inches long from crown to rump (who says "rump" these days?) The baby tracking websites compare him/her to a sweet potato or a turnip. I am always laughing at the random food analogies- how is that possibly a good indicator of size? Produce can vary wildly in size. Plus, I'm being given produce that I'm not that familiar with- a kumquat? I mean, really, people. I'm still not showing much yet and I'm still wearing my regular clothes. (I don't have a picture to post because my camera is dead and I can't find the charger, but I will post one soon.) BUT the exciting news is that I felt the baby move for the first time this week! I've been paying extra attention to every little twinge to see if I could notice the little one moving around in there but when I finally felt it, it was unmistakable. It really feels like someone is poking me from the inside out!

    that live creature poking around inside is a trippy feeling, isn't it? I actually still have occasional nightmares that a baby hand reaches up through my belly and out my mouth. But I probably shouldn't tell you that... ;-)

    Hi Barbara! I saw your blog on Catherine's... I'm really so excited that you two are having a baby! Are you going to find out what you're having? Very soon! Tell the Thornton's hello.

    How fun! I remember waiting for that first movement. Precious. And I totally agree about the random fruit thing. I read in one place (can't remember how many weeks I was) where it said the baby was the size of an ipod. Times are a-changin'.

    This will tell you how bizarre I am, but when I first felt movement, the only visual (since I go right to visualizing) that came to me was either an eel/fish, or some weird Star Trek alien-thing in my belly.

    I told you... bizarre.
