This week's food our baby is the size of: 39 weeks

(By Erik)

We're back to measuring general baby size instead of just length this week at Babycenter.com. This week our little girl is roughly the size of ...

a mini-watermelon!

Alas, this is the final week of comparing our firstborn to food. Jeanie is scheduled for induction if we reach the middle of next week, so we'll most likely not reach the coveted 40-week food — small pumpkin.

Thanks to everyone who's been praying for us during the past nine months. We feel very blessed to have reached this point.

I'll keep you posted on what happens next!

Like a pie pumpkin? It's a shame you won't make it that far. But on the other hand, you'll have a little girl! I guess that's worth missing out of the pumpkin.

I'll be praying for you this week and can't wait to hear the updates.

Excellent news! Congratulations!

Maybe she'll come in time to see her first Battle of the Boulevard!

Oh my goodness...they should not send things like that! Who wants to picture having a small watermelon??? Yikes! Though at 9 lb 6 oz, Luke was more like a LARGE watermelon. Oh well. Thank goodness Anna was a lot smaller! Anyway, know that you two are in our thoughts and prayers during this exciting next week.
