3 inches & and 1 ounce

I got a lot of feedback on my blog entry regarding my desire not to compare my unborn child to fruit.  I take it all back.  I would much rather that comparison than actually ruin a favorite food of mine. 

13 weeks and my unborn child is 3 inches long & weighs only 1 ounce.  Isn't that a much better way to describe him/her instead of "the size of a medium shrimp"?  I may never eat another shrimp again.  I really hope this feeling passes.  I really like to eat shrimp. 

I really hope they go back to fruit & vegetables to compare my son/daughter to.  I wouldn't feel nearly as bad of having to drop those from my diet.  With my luck, the next comparisons will be as follows:

- 4 oz filet mignon
- Half slab of bacon
- 4 inch square piece of lasagna
- Chicken (or turkey) drumstick
- Deep fried pads of butter
- Cheeseburger
- Cheese & onion pierogi
- Meatballs

That's one way to get me to lose weight......just compare any food you want to eat to your unborn child.  You'll never eat it again.
