Pass the Papaya

Today marks the end of week 22. For the next few weeks (weeks 22-24), Ralph will be as big as a papaya. Weighing between 12.7 and 20.8 ounces and at a length of 10.5 to 11.8 inches, our little one is capable of listening to me and Wes (and a loud tv) talk about anything and everything. Ralph is also settling into sleep patterns. He or she is only awake for about 12 hours each day, but not all at once. When he or she is awake, Ralph is kicking, punching, and swimming up a storm and Wes has actually been able to feel those movements a few times by now. Exciting stuff...
