I’m a couple of days late this week in posting my pregnancy baby size updates! It’s been a crazy week and it’s only going to get crazier as the weeks go by. This week the baby is the size of a cucumber and I am finally into the 30th week of pregnancy! Wow! That means there are about 9 more weeks left for me (or less). I was really glad this week was a cucumber because I was craving something fresh. I thought of these cucumber cups with tuna in them and decided to give them a little asian taste. I love how they turned out!
Sometimes it’s hard for me to see the comparisons they make with the fruits and veggies. I am assuming that a cucumber is about the length of the baby now. Sort of a stretch to go from an acorn squash to a cucumber, but oh well! It’s still fun to visualize.
This recipe makes plenty for 2 or 3 people and they go fast too. My family ate them in no time. 🙂
