Shopping BabySize: my favorite finds for babies, kids and moms based on the approximate size of the wee babe in my belly. Or, not so wee as the case may be.

The baby is now gaining about an ounce a day and weighs almost 6 pounds – or the size of a crenshaw melon – and is about 18.5 inches long. This whole Shopping BabySize experiment has really been a lesson in produce, because I had no idea what a crenshaw melon was. But I am learning about all kinds of melons since they’re easy to compare to baby’s size, apparently. It’s really fun to imagine how bit the baby actually is! Both of my kids were born around 38 pounds and my son weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and my daughter was 6 pounds 12 ounces. Given the fact that I weigh at least 5 pounds more than I did when I gave birth to my other kids, I’m assuming the means the baby in my stomach actually weighs more like 11 pounds. Clearly the only explanation for this extra weight is an extra big baby. Right? Right.

Shopping BabySize: my favorite finds for babies, kids and moms based on the approximate size of the wee babe in my belly.

The baby is getting big! This week it is approximately 16 inches long and weighs about 3.3 pounds – the same as 4 navel oranges. I love this week because while there are not a lot of “navel orange” specific products there are a lot of generic orange goodies. And, let’s be honest orange is a fabulous color! Such a fun, bright AND gender neutral color. It’s a great unisex alternative to yellow, really.

I’m now 29 weeks pregnant, which means the little mover and shaker is 15 inches long from head to heel and weighs about 2.5 pounds – like a Butternut Squash. Remember almost two months ago when the baby was the size of a Spaghetti Squash? My how it’s grown in the squash family!

Butternut Squash Recipes

Even though cooking is so totally not my thing, I’ve had fun adding some recipes into the weekly finds post so this week is no different. And, as a bonus, it includes a recipe I’ve actually made. Go me. This Roasted and Curried Butternut Squash Soup is so freaking delicious. And I feel tremendously fancy and talented when I make it. (Except the time the yogurt kind of curdled when I added it. That wasn’t cool.)
