How I am feeling -- not too much morning sickness! Praise be! I notice that if I eat too early, or get too hungry, I start feeling nauseated. However, my thing lately has been evening sickness. Who would have thought? No repercussions of nausea though... :) I am definitely counting my blessings! Smells and heat make me nauseous. So, I guess it's a blessing that I am in Alaska in 5 degree weather.
How Peanut is -- like I said, a growth spurt to the size of a blueberry! Blood is pumping through his little body, he has flippers (fingers and toes are still fused), little eyelids, already has some color in his eyes (hopefully beautiful blue like his Daddy!) and his pancreas has grown! I am so proud of my little Peanut. He is a trooper! Joel and I already love this little baby and pray daily for safety.
God is so good. That has really been on my heart these last few weeks. Our God is so big and so incredible! That he can make a beautiful baby from nothing shows how great our God is. Thank you Lord for our little blessing!
Peanut to date (look at that big old head! How I love Peanut's big old head!):
Psalm 139:13-16 (NLT) - "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! You workmanship is marvelous -- how well I know it! You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed."
7 WEEKS
I saw someone do this, and I LOVE the idea. It's a little twist on the "take a picture of pregnant mama every month and see how she's growing", but I think you should make a picture document of the baby's growth. For example, this week, take a picture of you and a blueberry :) Eventually it'll be you and kiwi's, cantaloupes, and basketballs :) This would be SUCH a cool documentation of you and baby!!! But... that's just a thought. No pressure :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Very GOOD IDEA! I will switch off.... keep you on your toes :) But yes, I also plan on pictures of how my belly grows. However, right now there is no growth, so that will have to wait :) I love your idea though! You'll just have to keep checking to see what wild and crazy thing I do next :)
