Wow 8 weeks is here!!!!! We are preparing to go to our first doctor's appointment on July 1st!!
How far along?
8 Weeks!!!!
Trimester?
First
How many days until my due date?
224
How big are the babies?
The babies are the size of jellybeans!!!
Still growing! Their heartbeats are getting stronger and faster each week! The brain is rapidly developing and a full nervous system is being carefully organized. A neural tube has closed to form a spinal column. Arm and leg buds are now emerging. They look more like small paddles than limbs right now. Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from their hands and feet, eyelids practically cover their eyes, breathing tubes extend from the throat to the branches of the developing lungs, and the babies tail is just about gone. Their noses and upper lips are now more prominent when viewed on an ultrasound. Isn't God amazing!!
Pregnancy Symptoms?
Tired!!!! I visit the bathroom A LOT!!
Cravings/Aversions?
No cravings...all food is BLAH!
Best moment this week?
Seeing our precious babies!
What I'm looking forward to next week?
Going to the doctor!
What emotions have I experienced this week?
Happiness!!! I'm so thankful for these two miracles! I'm anxious too...I want the time to fly by so I can meet them!!
Boy or Girl?
Hmm??? I did the pencil test and it said two girls and a boy! We said we would do IVF one more time probably and have three kids...so who knows???
Devotional from the book "Expecting Praying for your Child's Development Body & Soul":
This week's devotional was about Ears.
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me." -John 10:27
Lord my baby's ears are now present on the outside of their little heads. What a miracle ears are! I know I take my sense of hearing for granted. I pray for our children's ears-that they will work correctly and be free from infections and other problems. I pray that they will be attentive to the many sounds around them- the trill of a bird in song, the rush of water in a backyard stream, the steady rain beating against their bedroom window. I pray they will marvel at the sounds things make- the beautiful rhythm and cadence, melody and harmony of life. And Lord may they use their ears to listen to you! You speak to us in that still small voice, and if we're not ready and listening, we can miss it. Help them not the miss your voice, Lord. Help them to hear your call on their heart and lives-and heed it!
