We used to do it up to about 17 weeks but we got so many e-mails from readers asking us to extend the series that we had to go for it. I understand some of the fruits and veggies are obscure. We tried very hard to be accurate, matching produce to the height and/or weight of the baby each week. Truth be told, you start to run out of options. It might help to see the visuals. We have a slideshow of photos that show each food by week. It puts the Crenshaw melon and kiwi fruit in context. You can see it here: http://www.babycenter.com/slideshow-baby-size Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. I know these last weeks can be tough! Linda Murray Editor in Chief BabyCenter Marilyn,
