Babies. Pregnancy. Birth. Life. All things in which we have very little control. This is hard for me, because I'm a planner. Pregnancy always grows my faith in God and His sovereignty over all things because there are so many things that I cannot control.
For instance, my first two babies were born prematurely - NOT what I had planned! Once I became pregnant the third time, we were naturally concerned that we may have another preemie baby on the way. Because of this, I was able to have ultrasounds throughout the pregnancy Baby Josie ended up being full term (thank God!), so this 4th time around I am back to the normal ultrasound schedule (1 early one, and one around 20 weeks). It occurred to me yesterday that I could look back through Josie's pictures and have a good idea of where this baby is in development (currently 19 weeks, 5 days):
February 2, 2015: 10 weeks, 2 days (gestational age)
March 18, 2015: 16 weeks, 6 days
March 31, 2015: 18 weeks, 1 day
May 7, 2015: 23 weeks, 5 days
May 28, 2015: 26 weeks, 5 days
July 21, 2015: 34 weeks, 3 days
August 17, 2015: Birth Day!
March 8, 2017: almost 19 months old
I am continually amazed at fetal development and how God shows His creativity and glory through His creation!
Wow- life truly is a miracle, isn't it?!
