Pepperspective

Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead.

I read this in my weekly email newsletter the other day, and I happened to have a bell pepper on hand. Strange how a bell pepper doesn't seem that big........

.......until you hold it up next to my belly and realize that there's something that size in there.....

....and then you realize that the something is a baby.

Wow.

I'm so amazed.

So...instead of writing my paper, I checked your blog.

Okay, so you DO look a little pregnant from the front.

SO cool the size of your baby! It was only just yesterday that he was a poppyseed!

Are you wearing jeans with a stretchy panel in the front??

I'm wearing jeans that have a huge thick SOFT elastic waistband. I don't have any yet that have the big panel. Soon, though, I think. I wear a LOT of elastic.
