so my belly grew 1 1/2 inches this week and now I am 38 inches around :) crazy!
Babycenter says "This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (
try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy."
We were blessed with 2 more baby showers this week. Jeremy's office, SS Nesbitt, was very generous and our community group, Alpha and Omega, honored me at a Baby Mama's Night Out.
I was also excited to put all the books that we received at our Birmingham shower on the baby's shelf. It looks so cute and ready for Baby Long.
A friend had shared this prayer with me awhile back and I just love it for Baby Long:
"Father, cause _____'s identity to be firmly rooted and established in Christ's love, and give ____ the power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ (Eph. 3:17-18). Show _____ that he/she is fearfully and wonderfully made, and that Your works are wonderful. Teach him/her that he/she is precious and valuable in Your sight (Ps. 139:14; Isa. 43:4). I pray that the hope that ____ has in Jesus Christ would be an anchor for his/her soul, firm and secure (Heb. 9:16)."
Jeremy has been doing more house renovations this week. He finished taking down the boarder in in the kitchen and the guest bathroom upstairs. Then on Saturday, Jeremy also painted the whole kitchen. It was a huge task and he did an awesome job. It looks so good and we love the color!
