Our little pineapple

Every Thursday I receive an e-mail from babycenter.com giving me an update on the size of the baby and other things particular to where I'm at in the pregnancy for that week. Most of the comparisons are to fruit or vegetables so it's always entertaining to see what the comparison will be each week. Today's update said Pat is now 4 lbs, roughly the weight of a pineapple, and 17" long. I'm glad Pat isn't shaped like a pineapple or rough on the outside like one because that would not be a pleasant experience delivering that. 

In other Pat related news, the nursery is coming along quite nicely. The crib is up! Yay! There are still at least 20 other things we need to do still but at least the crib is up. That was my big goal for the room even though the little pineapple will sleep in a bassinet in our room for the first weeks. By the way, if you're expecting or planning on becoming pregnant at some point, you should know that cribs do not come with mattresses. I did not know that until Christian assembled it. Now we need to go out and get one and believe me, it's not that simple of a process as you have to have THE right mattress for your crib. In my initial reconnaissance work, I've discovered that mattress sizes are not standardized. Oh, and it needs to be firm and the cheaper mattresses sag in the middle after awhile (according to reports I've read online). It's not that big of a deal, going out and getting a mattress, I'm just saying I wasn't expecting it. But we'll add that to the to do list and I'm sure we'll get it prior to December 31st, Pat's due date.

Now I'm craving pineapple. Is that weird?
