While I was prego, I religiously kept track of how big my baby was using The Bump's "How Big Is Baby?" tool, which charted the baby's weekly growth relevant to fruit. I don't know about you, but personally I didn't have a whole lot of fruit around my house (my prego pics are evidence of that!). At week 10, they say the baby is the size of a prune. And at 21 weeks, the baby is the size of a papaya. Sorry - but I just can't relate. So, I've taken matters into my own hands and created a Week-by-Week list based on what pregos really care about - dessert! : ) Enjoy!
(Note: Average sizes are taken from TheBump.com. Dessert associations are based on my calculations of weight, not length.)

ReplyDeleteGood day,
ReplyDeleteLeslie Fannin is my name am an origin of Brazil but nationalizes in Dallas Texas USA. As a single mom with three kids it was had to get a job that could take care of me and my kids and I had so much bills to pay and to make it worst I had bad credit so i couldn't obtain a loan from any bank. I had an ideal to start a business as an hair stylist but had no capital to start, Tried all type of banks but didn't work out until I was going through the internet and I saw a post advertising to give a loan at a rate of 2% interest in Steakley Financial Services. I sent them a mail using their official email address steakleyfinancialservices@yahoo.com and I got a reply immediately and my loan was approved. To cut it short am a proud on of my hair stylist company today making money for my family and a happy mom. If you need a loan I mean any loan just sent an email to Steakley Financial Services at their official email address : steakleyfinancialservices@yahoo.com.
