How big this week?

So yes I realize that my latest posts have been all about babies but can you blame me? For starters there really hasn't been a whole lot going on with us right now (besides the baby) and second its just fun to talk about our little "baby degi"!

Today's post is inspired by my sister who told Matt and I about this really cool website that compares the size of your baby (week by week) to fruit. It's been so much fun to be able to see how much our little one is growing!! You can check it out at here!

This week baby degi is the size of an orange, it's pretty crazy but exciting to think about! Keep on growing little one!
