The baby is banana-sized (but hopefully not shaped) this week! He/she is about 10.5 inches long now and about 12-13 ounces. I've been feeling the baby stretch out those legs and arms all week.
Another cool update this week is that the banana baby's tastebuds are developing. So he or she is able to taste some of the foods I'm eating, and some studies show the baby will retain a taste for things they experience in the womb. I'm already picturing Brian sneaking garlic cloves into my food so he'll have another garlic fanatic in the family!
I'm happy, especially on hearing this week's update, that I'm able to eat normally again. The weeks of nausea and food aversions near the beginning were brutal. Plus, I like that Brian and I eat a pretty diverse menu — and hopefully will pass along those food interests to the little one. And, who am I kidding, I just like to eat these days!!
