Growing...Growing...Growing…

This week marks a mile stone in our young child’s life. It is no longer an embryo, it’s now a fetus! Yea!

To give you all an idea of what’s going on here are the stats:

I am 10 weeks pregnant

The baby is roughly the size of a large strawberry (1.5-2 inches long)

I have a pooch belly now. I feel like I have reached the “fat” stage. Wherein, no one can tell that I am pregnant, I just look like I gained weight. But thankfully I told the world, so they know what’s up.

I felt it kick once, and Aunty Talitha was there with her stethoscope to hear it! I can feel the baby move only if I am lying very still, and it has to basically do three flips to get my attention, and run across my stomach (it’s primarily on the high left side). Or when I bend over, I feel the baby move over. It’s such a weird feeling! Like I dislodged something in there and it moves around when I squish it.

I attached a pic of what a baby at 10 weeks looks like. They say that the baby will triple its size from here till the 2nd trimester. That would be in the real world a baby being born a normal size, then in four weeks growing to be as tall as a professional height basketball hoop!






But that’s all. Jordan is starting to really delve into his job. He is no longer watching training videos, but now is actually using AutoCAD and “scrubbing”. I am so proud of him. This line of work was so different than what he knew, and he is picking it up well.

Keep praying for us that God will give us wisdom in our possible need to move out of our small apartment into a home or a larger apartment. God is so good to us.

We love you all!

Actually, I look at that picture, and it's not too far off from the real size of the baby!

Yea for an update! I know I talk to you all the time, but it is nice to hear from you online. The pic was cute too.
I am glad Jordan is enjoying his job. And the kicking thing - well, it only gets more "fun" as time goes on. I miss it!

Your little girl looks so cute. How did you get such a clear picture? Never mind, I don't want to know. Keep up the good growing.
