Baby Phillips

"For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully

and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret

place.

When I was woven together in the

depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me

were written in your book

before one of them came to be."

Psalm 139:13-16

Little one, may you grow up knowing the truth of your unbelievable value and worth and the truth of being fearfully and wonderfully made.  May you never forget it.

It's already been nearly a week since the ultra sound, but I finally found some time to post. It was so great to see our little baby.  We didn't find out the gender, by choice.  at the time of the ultra sound the baby weighed about 1 lb 11 oz and is about 15 cm long, if I remember correctly. 

So precious.  Although I'm still not feeling any movement, the little babe was pretty wiggly.  We saw the heartbeat, too, so that's always reassuring.  And in spite of not feeling movement, I'm definitely starting to feel pregnant: sore back, smaller range in bending over, and people who don't know I'm pregnant actually noticing. :)   And just for the record, I'm about 20 - 21 weeks along now.  Halfway!
