No More Fruit-Baby Comparisons....The Man's Guide to Baby Sizes

So in order to keep track of how big the baby is each week, I've been following the fruit/veggie comparison list that most pregnant women are familiar with....located here: http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-tools/articles/how-big-is-baby.aspx

Cory hates this list. He thinks it is unrealistic to compare the baby to random, round fruit each week, especially when the sizes sometimes seem smaller than the week before. I agree that it is a bit strange, but I think it helps somewhat in getting a better idea of the baby's size. Anyway, I heard about a similar list for men, and I finally found it. (Ha ha, week 20 makes me laugh). So Cory, this is for you:
