Bean 2 Update

I am so fascinated by how babies develop in the womb. It's really amazing how quickly everything happens! We have a neat book called "A Child Is Born" that shows embryoscopy and fetoscopy pictures of development from the point of conception on. The beginning part of the book is really interesting as it shows how much happens even before the baby implants in the uterus. But I especially love the pictures of the babies week by week (you can see them here if you're interested). At 14 weeks pregnant (which is where we are today with Bean 2), the baby is sucking his/her thumb and is the size of your fist. Yesterday and today I've been feeling some little things that really do feel like the baby moving around. Either that or a goldfish is loose in there! :) I thought it was too early, but then I looked it up and apparently with second-time pregnancies or more you can feel movement as early as 12-13 weeks because you know what it feels like. It's very cool. Kick away, Bean 2!

Have continued to pray for you along with the other women I know who are expecting...it's good to get an update and know that you have flutters! Praise God for a growing baby.
