The Peanut is a Shrimp???

Ok, this is predominantly for S to tha G who asked, but according to one of the websites someone recommended (Kari or Tracey I think), the Peanut is now the size of a shrimp (which does not explain why my waistline is rapidly expanding....) Bernie is also doing lots of other exciting things, like moving her legs and getting fingerprints. More info below:
13 Weeks-How your baby's growing:
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.
On the other hand (literally), another thing I read said he/she was the size of my palm at this point (which is bigger than a shrimp!) so I'm not 100% sure what that means. Meanwhile, we hit 14 weeks tomorrow so maybe they'll compare Bernie to another interesting food item. Glad she hasn't been a brussel sprout! Yuck!
