This week is the 21st week, and as of today I am 21 weeks, 3 days pregnant. The fetus is now the size of a banana according to Babycenter which puts out an e-mail comparing your future child to fruit weekly.
Bear in mind that this is the average length, about a banana, but obviously the fetus is much more filled out. Usually the e-mails compare your pregnancy to round, easy to understand fruits. For example, at various times our fetus has been a kumquat, a large heirloom tomato, and a lemon.
Our fetus is also large for its age already. The average fetus is 10.58 ounces at the 20 weeks ultrasound, and ours was an even 1 pound. That is 5.5 oz larger than average, or 150% of the weight he or she "should" be.
We're going to have a giant.
