God Bless this Baby!

Now that all the symptoms of pregnancy are subdued (other than the ever-growing belly), God has given us an opportunity to just fully enjoy each moment of this pregnancy and focus on the health of the baby and his/her future. This week Baby Sunkist (the size of an orange) is looking less and less alien-like as her eyes and ears move to where they should be and she (or he) begins to wiggle her fingers and toes and make breathing motions! Every week our baby is growing something different or learning something new. Just the idea of someone growing like this inside of me reminds me daily of what an amazing God we serve and how loving a Creator He is! JR and I are reminded through this of our huge responsibility to raise this child to love the Lord and serve Him in everything he/she does and says. That is our prayer, that Baby Sunkist have an ever growing desire to serve and love the Lord Almighty and rely fully on God and His grace. We pray that God allows us to show this child God's grace and mercy, teaching him/her early on of the Creator we serve. May God bless this baby abundantly!
