Our baby the plum

I read in one of my pregnancy books yesterday that our unborn baby is about the size of a small plum now. Last week he/she was the size of a medium green olive. So what I want to know is, what's with all the references to food? And if the baby is only a small plum, why is my stomach now a large butternut squash?

I remember thinking the same thing with Ellie. Is it just because pregnant women crave food, so you know they're familiar with the shapes and sizes of all types of food?? My best friend took pictures each month with various articles of food next to her belly, depending on what her pregnancy book told her. I thought it was a brilliant idea.

Just wait until your baby weighs approx. 3 lbs but you have gained approx. 16 lbs. That is the real mystery. I am sure it has nothing to do with all the cake the baby makes me eat. Nothing at all!
