Wrong apple?

I'm having fun with this. So most apps and websites will liken a 5 week embryo to the size of a sesame seed. Well, of course, I loved the visual ticker of baby to food size and The Bump had one.
The Bump has 5 weeks to be an apple seed. Since I have both apples and sesame seeds, I was curious to see how close they were in size because I really thought apple seeds were a lot bigger. I cut open an apple and took a couple seeds and compared them to some black sesame seeds along a measuring tape.
A lot of places also say that "The embryo is 1/16 to 1/8 inch long" at 5 weeks. According to my measurements of the apple and sesame seed, the sesame seed is definitely more accurate.
Maybe I just have the wrong kind of apple. It was a delicious honeycrisp.

I was like, crap, which size lentil do I need to get? I think the red and green ones are smaller than the regular? Is there a regular? I'm not really a plain lentil person, so I'm not sure. |
 | Comment from stephc2010 » Posted Sep. 3, 2015 8:33am I've always loved the comparison charts! I used to point it out to my husband every time we were grocery shopping when I was pregnant with my daughter! :) |
 | Comment from Libelula264 » Posted Sep. 3, 2015 8:14am This is great! How does such a small little thing cause so much bloat?! |
| Comment from eat2nourish » Posted Sep. 1, 2015 8:52am Wow...that's a teeny tiny little seed. Lots of growing in the next 9 months :). |
| Comment from M.gulud » Posted Aug. 31, 2015 3:33pm I know! I had given my husband a sesame seed to show him and I think I might try to keep that up. It's actually pretty cool to see it in person, but I will refrain from dumping a watermelon in his lap... maybe. ;) |
