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.

The only way I had a collared shirt on it was if it got arrested. And I haven’t been arrested in more than 20 years, so that would’ve been impossible.
