The fruits of laborÑin a week-by-week preview of your babyÕs growth
How does your prenatal garden grow? From poppyseed to
papaya, from mango to watermelon, these versesÑsome
sweet, some sillyÑwere inspired by the weekly updates on
fetal size and development found on Web and iPhone tools.
Make your way through imaginary rows of peas, cauliflowers,
and cantaloupes as you envision each stage of babyÕs increasing size and weight.
If you find yourself calling the expectant mom in your family on a regular basis and asking, ÒHowÕs the little Mango doing today?Ó youÕll appreciate just how useful and delightful this scale of measures can be. For shower gifts, for grandparents, for older
siblings, hereÕs a poem a week to enjoy as you eagerly anticipate the arrival of the real thing.
