13 Weeks To Go!!!

So it's not officially 13 weeks until Thursday, but I thought I would go ahead and post some pics while I was thinking about it. These are the same ones I posted on Facebook - sorry for the redundancy! The ultra sound pic is actually from about 5 weeks ago.

The Heart of a Child...

This video is from about a year ago, but I was thinking about it recently, so I thought I would share. I think it's ok to laugh at it now. I had a hard time not laughing when it happened, though.

Dad's Suprise Party

Last week was Ben's Dad's birthday. So on Saturday, we went to Cincinnati for a suprise party for him that Ben's mom orchestrated. He wasn't expecting Ben's sisters to be there until later, and he wasn't expecting us to be there at all. The party was at their church, and several people from the church helped to plan the suprise including sending a fake invitation for a 50th anniversary party for a couple in the church to his house (everyone else in the church got the invitation for the birthday party!). As you can see in the video, it was quite a suprise for him!!

An Incredible Design

I was watching a video about the development process of a baby in the womb, and the wonderful design that God gave to a woman's reproductive system, and all the amazing functions that HAVE to occur in order for a baby to be conceived, grown and born. One of those many wonderful things is the fact that a pelvic bone is actually divided into three separate parts and is joined by ligaments. If it were all one piece, the baby wouldn't be able to fit through it. Well, during pregnancy, hormones tell those ligaments to loosen up so that during delivery the opening can get bigger. Amazing, huh?!! One drawback: at least in my case, the whole loosening of ligaments is actually quite painful especially when I go up and down the stairs, sweep, vacuum, bend over to change diapers, sleep, etc. I'm not complaining about it, I just think I will have to wait until after the baby is born to fully appreciate this wonderful design. ;-)
BTW: the video is "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made" featuring Dr. David Menton. (available through Answers in Genesis)
