A large jicama??

We just got our weekly email from BabyCenter.com (a great website to join when you are expecting!!!). The weekly update for Week 32 says that baby McReynolds should be approximately 16.7 inches long and 3.75 pounds....about the size of a large jicama!?!?!?!? Not having heard of that before, we went to wikipedia to determine what it was:


Jicama is one species in the genus Pachyrhizus that is commonly called yam bean, although the "yam bean" sometimes is another name for Jicama. The other, major species of yam beans are also indigenous within the Americas. It very much tastes like a sweet pea pod.


VERY FUNNY way to describe the size of our baby in the womb!!!!

  1. Haha.. that is cute how they described your baby. :)
    Jicama is actually really good. They are great for salad. You can find salad with jicama at Cafe Express. I like them as a snack. Sprinkle some salt and you're good to go.

    Great to hear the baby is healthy :)
    Take care!
