This week's food our baby is the size of: 37 weeks — the land of perpetual spinach

This week BabyCenter.com goes back to using food to represent the baby's length rather than mass. So, with that in mind, we can say that Maggie is roughly the length of a stalk of swiss chard.

Never heard of Swiss chard? Well, the good folks at Wikipedia inform me that it's also called silverbeet, mangold or (this one is my favorite) perpetual spinach. And, since I read it on wikipedia, it has to be true, right?

Do you get the feeling that Babycenter is running out of food types?

Perpetual Spinach Tryggestad has a nice ring to it. It would be kind of long to monogram though . . .
