Baby is not the size of fruit

I figured out the whole "your baby is the size of a _____" controversy I created.

Thanks to my 4 pregnancy apps I realized the "size" they are talking about is usually the WEIGHT of the baby.

When you look at it that way they do kinda go up in weight..
18 weeks: Bell Pepper
19 weeks: Heirloom Tomato
20 weeks: Banana
21 weeks: Carrot
22 weeks: Spaghetti Squash maybe a small squash
23 weeks: Large Mango
24 weeks: Ear of Corn
25 weeks: Rutabaga
26 weeks: Scallion ok, not this one
27 weeks: Head of Cauliflower
28 weeks: Eggplant
29 weeks: Butternut Squash
30 weeks: Large Cabbage
31 weeks: Coconut
32 weeks: Jicama
33 weeks: Pineapple
Then, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Head of Romaine Lettuce, Swiss Chard, Leek, mini watermelon, and finally pumpkin.

Close enough. I'll settle for an average of length and weight just to keep me happy.
