Week 23-Mom and Dad your baby is the size of a papaya!
We know, it seems like this was the title to last week’s pregnancy update. Oh, the difference a week can make because last week was number 22 and this is the 23rd week of your pregnancy. Your baby however, is still the size of a papaya. There have been some mighty changes going on in your body, but you’re past the halfway point.

Week 22-Mom and Dad your baby is the size of a papaya!
Moms, your little person inside you is the size of a papaya! Dads, to put his in perspective, the next time you’re in the fruit and vegetable isle of your grocery store look for a papaya. A papaya is one of those strange foods that is both fruit and vegetable. It looks like a really large lemon with just a hint of dark green in some spots.
I’m in the store at least three times a week and aren’t sure if I’ve ever seen one. There is a section in the fruit isle with all sorts of strange things, it could be in there, but some of them scare me. It’s the island of lost toys for fruits: there’s the brown, sickle shaped thick thing with thorns and somewhere in there is probably the papaya. Unless your name is Gilligan or Beyr Grills you probably have no idea what a papaya is or how to eat one. Continue reading Week 22-Mom and Dad your baby is the size of a papaya!

Rookie Dads is June 16, 6:30-8PM at Baby on the Go, Roswell
It seems like only yesterday I was a freewheeling childless guy who didn’t have a clue about what to expect in regards to raising children. The learning curve from expectant father to Dad is huge and there are loads of questions that you don’t know you need to ask.
The old saying, you don’t know what you don’t know applies very well to expectant fathers. You’re looking forward to it, but there is so much to learn and the only way to gain that knowledge is through experience. It’s the yin and yang of parenting. Continue reading Rookie Dads is June 16, 6:30-8PM at Baby on the Go, Roswell
Week 20-Mom and Dad, your baby is the size of a cantaloupe!
Dads, this is the halfway point of the pregnancy. However, up until now it’s been a slow build up and the really radical changes are just around the corner. Hint to dads: as the wardrobe of your bride is changing into maternity wear, surprise them with a gift certificate to a shoe store. At this point they may grouse about their clothing, however, shoes will remain the same size, so this gift is great for pregnancy and post pregnancy. Continue reading Week 20-Mom and Dad, your baby is the size of a cantaloupe!
Hey Dads-The Atlanta Baby & Child Expo is this weekend
Everybody in the Mojo house is excited as we’re expecting our second child in October. Just because we run a parenting blog don’t think that we know everything about being a dad, much less being a father to an infant. Infancy was more than a year ago and I have trouble remembering what we saw on television last night. I think it was Bait Car, but can’t be too sure. Continue reading Hey Dads-The Atlanta Baby & Child Expo is this weekend
Week 17-Mom and Dad, your baby is the size of an onion!
An onion is a small thing isn’t it? At this stage of the pregnancy game your unborn child is the size of an onion. Not The Onion mind you, unless the father has a superb ability to write fake news stories. Continue reading Week 17-Mom and Dad, your baby is the size of an onion!
