17 wks and growing...turnips?

We regularly (every Saturday!) look up this website to check on how big the babies are. They break down the weeks of the baby's growth and compare their current size to some fruit or vegetable. The babies started out as poppy seeds and then grew to the size of kidney beans, kumquats, lemons, etc. Last week we were growing avocados and today it's turnips! Well, it keeps Adam entertained anyway. :)

So here's what it's lookin' like on the outside these days...

Isn't it insane?! I'm just still so amazed and humbled every time I look down and see that belly growing. It's been fun, to say the least. :)

Adam didn't think it was very fair that Daddy didn't get to be in the picture... So we're a little fuzzy and crooked, but here's Adam's contribution:

Don't you love Guy's beard? We were asked to portray Mary and Joseph in a live nativity at our church's creche exhibit. Guy took this as an excellent opportunity to grow a quick beard so he'd look more authentic. ;)

p.s. Just a few more weeks until we know if we're seeing pink or blue... or both!!

Love the cute, growing belly AND the beard, Guy! You guys will be perfect as Mary and Joseph. Does Adam get to be a shepherd or an angel or something? We're also very excited to find out the gender of your little twinners!
