Our baby~

I'm supposed to be feeling the baby move around now. At night when I am still, I think that I do. It's a pretty amazing thing. Always is. 


Our baby at 16 weeks:

It's nails are well formed and the legs are longer than the arms now.

Our baby has eyelashes & eyebrows already. 

Because it's muscles are developing, our baby can make some faces now. 

Our baby is able to squint, frown and open its mouth. 

It has developed reflexes like sucking, blinking and swallowing.

Tiny bones in our baby's ears are in place this week, making it likely that the baby can hear my voice when I'm speaking or singing.

The backbone (along with the back muscles) is stronger.

Our baby is emptying his or her bladder every 40-45 minutes. (no wonder, I am too!!!)

The limb movements are becoming more coordinated. 

Our baby is about 3.5 ounces and 6.3 inches. (give or take some)

It can grasp with it's hands, kick, or even somersault. 

Is this not incredible?
Reading this today is what keeps me going even when I feel the way I felt this morning. 
Amazing that all this stays intact, Lord willing, while I still throw up every day!
Lord, protect this little one and give me grace & strength!
