Weeks 17 and 18

I'm sorry for missing last week's post. 

Today starts week 18 of my pregnancy! 

Last week Olive was the weight of a turnip.



And this week she/he is about the length of  bell pepper.



I can now feel the baby move some, and when he/she is twisting around I can tell that he/she is about that big. :) I praise the Lord for that perception, because it is just amazing to be able to tell that.

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
~Exodus 15:10

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I , will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Isreal.
~Judges 5:3

This week Olive's ears should reach their final position on her/his head, and the myelin coating on their tiny nerves should begin forming. I can't wait for an ultrasound, to be able to see our precious little one; Lord willing it will be soon.

  1. Oh, Katie! The joy that comes from being able to first feel that little love move!

    It always thrills me when a first time mama and daddy are so excited. My prayer is that God will continue to bless all of you!
