This week our baby is 18 weeks along which is the size of an heirloom tomato. While smaller than the bell pepper of a week ago it, and the baby, are longer in length at 6 inches. For size comparison, I put my Faith rubber wristlet on top of the tomato.
Our baby is now 18 weeks- the size of a bell pepper. This means the head to rump distance is about five and a half inches. For size comparison, I put the bell pepper next to the clown nose I wore for Red Nose Day on Thursday.

This weekend Matt and I took our first photos with the food that represented the size of our growing embryo (as chosen by the wonderful Baybcenter app). Candy, my MIL, who always thoughtfully has lots of food for her guests, had breakfast selected with great healthy items especially for me, including assorted bagels, cream cheese and a fruit assortment.
