Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
Not a huge update today. This past week has been pretty much the same as it has been. I'm tired a lot, but I'll have spurts of energy that help me get some housework done. I decided to cut back on my hours at my food service job so I can spend more time at home prepping for our baby's arrival. At the same time, I hope to keep my Pampered Chef business going at full strength in order to still help by bringing money into the household and taking some stress off Alex. Here's hoping I can jump start my business!
In my 40 week devotional this week, I read about preparation, and how many women try to prepare for every thing that could happen during their pregnancy and delivery. What the author suggests is that even though we should do some research so that we are not ignorant, we should not over prepare. That can cause worry and even cause harm when we try to prevent things that are supposed to happen for the greater good. She suggests that we do our research, but also keep our faith in God that he knows what he is doing and that He will give us strength to know what to do. The verse that stuck out to me today was 2 Corinthians 5:7 "We live by faith, not by sight." I am the type of person that hardly ever buys online cause I need to touch and see the item before I buy. So sometimes it is hard for me to just trust that this baby is getting bigger, and growing and will be here sooner then I'm ready for. Every day I try to feel my baby moving, just so I know he/she is there. I need to trust that God knows exactly what to do, and He will not fail me.
Well that's about it for this week I think. I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow for a routine checkup so prayer that everything goes well would be appreciated. Thanks for reading and God Bless!
