From round foods to large aquatic mammals.

I figured it was about time for another belly picture. I am a little over 34 weeks now, and really I feel ready to POP! This little boy surely can't really grow for another 5 1/2 weeks. David is doing a month of OB/Pediatrics right now in his residency. He is having a fun time delivering babies and taking care of them after they are born. He came home from work a few days ago and told me about a conversation he had with one of the other residents. When a woman first gets pregnant all the books, web sites, and doctors compare the baby inside of you to a bean, peanut, or other small food when describing to you how big your baby is. From there they use apricot, plum, apple, orange, gourd, cantalope, squash, etc... always using a fruit or vegetable to give you the general idea of how big your baby is getting. Then all of a sudden the next thing used to describe the baby/woman's size is whale... Why is that? They don't use other sea animals when describing the size. It's not like they say, "Your baby is the size of a minnow, or a trout or a salmon." Nope, just whale. Well, whatever, I am ready for this baby blue whale to come out whenever he feels like it (preferably sooner than later after 37 weeks). If all you are waiting for is an invitation little boy, consider yourself invited. :)
