We are now into week 12 and according to WTE most of your systems are fully formed and your digestive system is practicing contraction movements. You are the size of a fresh plum.
In going through the past few weeks I have come to realize that I am a picky fruit eater. I had no idea until recently when nearly every fruit that describes your size I have not been a fan of. But just because I am not a fan doesn't mean you won't be a fan. You see, my Uncle Alan and Aunt Jen taught me something a few years ago when we went out to dinner at a pizza place. They ordered a vegetarian style pizza with spinach on it. I had never had spinach because my mom wasn't a fan and my dad never pushed me to try it. Once I had it I realized it wasn't bad. Popeye would've been proud. It was at that moment that I admitted it was my first time trying spinach and another dinner they had taken us out to had been my first time having asparagus. Crazy right? They told me this, "You have to try a new food three times before you decide if you like it or not. The first time your brain is telling you to not like it, but your tastebuds might have a different opinion. The second time you're more willing to try it and your mind is more open. The third time you will know definitively if you like it or not."
Great advice and I've stuck to it ever since. I've come to like sushi based off of this. No eel, but there are many other fish in the sea. So kiddo, while I might not be a big plum fan, be prepared to try it three times before making your decision.
