I guess he sort of looks like it too! I gained a half inch this week. So now I am at 41.5 inches around. However I think that might be a bit on the low side. I am huge now!
Nathaniel is at that awful time to be a baby inside mommy. If he kicks too much then we worry that he will never sleep once he gets out. Not enough kicks and you worry if there is something wrong. Yep this kid can’t do ANYTHING right already!
Not really sure if the fruit/veggie size thing is accurate but I am going with it. He is likely about 17 inches tall and roughly 3+ lbs now. He was 2 lbs 13 oz last week so that would make sense. I found this chart and it explains where he should be now.

Nathaniel was about on target at 28 weeks so I guess that would mean that he is likely slightly over 3 lbs now. We will have to see if this holds up with his next ultrasound at 32 weeks and if he is about 4 and half pounds.
