Really, how you can go from a carrot to a spaghetti squash? I think the squash analogy makes more sense, but it’s still very confusing. Where were the smaller squashes? Butternut? Eggplant? Even tiny Italian squash… but I digress…
At 22 weeks, baby O is the size of a spaghetti squash, which is one of my more favorite vegetables! yay! He weighs about a pound. He is wrinkly without fat underneath his skin, and covered in lanugo (fine hair) to protect his skin. However, he is “starting to look like a miniature newborn” which I believe is a nicer way of saying “less alien, more human.” It’s okay, we love you anyway!
Interestingly enough, as I just wrote about my rings, check out this week’s “to-do”:
This Week’s Activity:
Check out your rings. It’s common to have some swelling in your fingers as your pregnancy progresses. If your rings are feeling the least bit snug, do yourself a favor and take them off now before it’s too late (or at least keep an eye on them). If you can’t bear to be separated from your wedding band or another important ring when you can no longer sport it on your finger, loop it on a chain and wear it close to your heart.
