As many of you know, Andrea an I are having a baby. Awe! So as a direct result of that news you can expect many baby posts here on Tumblr. To start the barrage of “what, does he think he’s the only one to have a baby” posts I want to discuss the unusual units of measure used to describe the size of the little growing person inside.
So far we’ve been through - subway token, quarter, peanut, apricot, lime, and peach - to describe the size of our Little Sprout! Now I know that by relating the size of our baby to an object that we are already familiar with will allow us to better understand the actual size. What seems strange to me is that almost every doctor, web site, & book seem to use the same comparisons as though we are stuck with only monetary or produce inspired examples. It would be nice to hear a couple of different products, like “can of tuna” or “baseball”! But maybe that’s just me…
Until next time!
