Baby as a fruit

No, no Anne Geddes cuteness.

I find it curious how fruits are used to describe the size of a growing foetus. Fair enough when it's an embryo, it's sort of round, but as it gets bigger it doesn't really compare.

Still, it's mildly interesting so here's a list:

Weeks and corresponding foodstuff:
3-4 poppyseed
5 appleseed
6 pea
7 blueberry
8 raspberry
9 green olive
10 prune
11 lime
12 plum
13 peach
14 lemon
15 naval orange
16 avocado
17 onion
18 sweet potato
19 mango
20 cantaloupe melon
21 banana
22-24 papaya
25-28 aubergine
29-32 squash
33-36 honeydew melon
37-term watermelon

Now you know.

I have a non-papaya shaped papaya at the moment, although she's more like a papaya than she was like a banana.
