I am now in my 12th week (ending my 3rd month) and finishing up my first Trimester!!! I am reading several different books about pregnancy but I get most of my information from www.babycenter.com Here is the skinning for this week!
"The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over two inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce."
This little life is growing leaps and bounds!! So far I have gained 3 lbs and for most that would not seem like that much...but on a 5' tall gal it's quite a bit. I celebrated my birthday with my family this weekend by buying my first pregnancy cloths. I got some pants, shirts and a pair of leggings and I was soooooo happy. Since my growth is only making me rounder in the waist it's reeking havoc on my pants!! :-) I am not quite ready for the maternity pants but I can see that in the next few weeks I will be needing these new purchases like no other!! Also for those who know me well, I have always been blessed in the chest area and most shirts I owned pre-pregnancy no longer fit my chest even though they still fit my stomach. All in all I can say that the shopping trip made me feel so much better about myself so thank you to all those who contributed money...Mom, Dad and my wonderful husband Michael! My MeMe also gave me the gift of make-up! She suggested I enjoy taking time with my make-up now because once I have a little one the time just disappears! ;-)
On a non pregnancy note Michael had oral surgery this past Friday! He had two permanent teeth removed and steel rods put into his bone!! :-( He was a trooper and now has 4 months to heal before his permanent teeth get put in. Until then he has what the dentist calls a "flipper" with to fake teeth attached. He hates it!! He has had the weekend to try and get used to it but for the most part he just keeps them out. This works at home but when he feels good enough to get back to work he will have to keep his teeth in. Due to his surgery he was not able partake in the Little Rock fun but he had fun of his own. (while not wearing his new teeth!) He got a friend to help him unload his truck that was filled with cabinets to organize our garage!! When I came home it looked GREAT!! I had plenty of room to park and there was even a new stand up freezer. :-D
And lastly it's my birthday today! It's a great day to turn 29 and I can't believe how fast the first 29 years have flown by!!! Something tells me that it won't slow down anytime soon!
Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!!
Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.
Colossians 1:10
