So I am trying to be better this time around at documenting the progression of this pregnancy. Plus, it’s so funny when you are still pretty early in pregnancy and you feel like a house already and then you see a picture and think, “Oh, I am not even a condo yet, maybe just a pup tent.” When I was 11 weeks along, I just happened to be in the pediatrician’s office and just happened to pick up a magazine which just happened to have a small blurb about how at 11 weeks your baby is about the size of a large lime. Well, that was just too fun, so we started calling the baby “Baby Lime.” After a week or two, we decided Baby Lime must have grown to at least lemon-size, so we named the baby “Lemonhead.” And it stuck. Because, really, who doesn’t want to give birth to something with a head the size of a lemon. Wishful thinking, I know, but it beats the other fruit analogies coming up in the not too distant future (watermelon, anyone?).
On a side note, I have very limited openings for the rest of the year at this point. I have one session available in May, one in June and one in late July. I have a crazy busy summer of travel coming up and then a baby of my own to cuddle. If you are due late September through December, feel free to contact me and I will put you on a waiting list for my light postpartum work load:).
So, without further ado, Baby Lemonhead at 17 and 19 weeks gestational age:
We are hoping it will only be two more days until we know if it’s a boy lemon or a girl lemon–wish us luck!
