Pregnancy is a fruit bowl. The apps tell you which fruit your fetus resembles each week as it grows. But none of the apps are written in Mexico, so they don’t take into account the wide variety of fruit we have here, the many different sizes of mangos and avocados. Alejandro says that Mexican mandarins are the same size as Chilean oranges and Chilean mandarins are the size of a Mexican lime. Plus, what I simply call a limón, he calls a limón de pica, and what he calls a limón, is for me a yellow lime.
A few days ago we went for an ultrasound scan and heard the heartbeat. The nurse said it was very strong. The fetus is the size of a blueberry, and a large part of its body is taken up by a strongly beating heart. It’s hard not to feel affection for a creature the size of a blueberry with a heart, a creature that is almost nothing except a strongly beating heart.
