#BlogBumpClub - 27wks + 2

 
 
I received a text alert this week telling me 'Week 27: Your baby is the size of a rutabaga!'*
 
From about week 4 onwards there are lots of fruit and vegetable comparisons to the size of your developing baby. I find these hilarious, and sometimes downright scary! Week 4: a poppy seed, week 31: a pineapple (ouch!) all the way up to Week 40: a watermelon. I've already had one baby so I'm not completely naïve about the size of them when they pop out, and Wiss was 8lb 5oz, but a watermelon? I've seen some mahoosive watermelons out there and I do not fancy carrying one of those around. Even for Patrick Swayze!
 
I've signed up to a couple of Pregnancy apps which have all this kind of information, and much more. I'm actually using Pregnancy + most and I will be reviewing it in full next week. If you are using an app to help/amuse/organise you during your pregnancy then I'd love to know which one - leave me comment below or tweet me @thisiswiss.
 
As always, these #BlogBumpClub posts are linking up with other fab bloggers, so don't forget to check out their posts this week, and if you're pregnant too then why not join in?

*in case you didn't know, a rutabaga seems to be American for a swede!

    I was wondering what a rutabaga was! I find the comparison thing funny too - but also quite interesting. Fascinating to hear about the changes from week to week. I'll definitely be checking out that app myself!

      I had no idea either, never even heard of one before. My husband is a huge Ramsey's Hells Kitchen USA fan though so he knew!
      I got a few funny looks in Sainsburys while I was taking the picture :)

    We always laugh at the fruit and veg comparisons. Our favourite was Heirloom Tomato - not just any old tomato!!
