6 and a half weeks
This week our baby's nose, mouth and ears are beginning to take shape. If we could see inside my uterus, we'd find an over sized head and dark spots where our baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form! Little emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head and the baby's arms and legs are protruding buds. Right now the baby is about a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.
Isn't this absolutely amazing to know...I love knowing the growth of our baby and imagining its tiny features forming.
I'm intimately reminded of Psalm 139: 1- 6, 13 - 18
"O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my every thought when far away. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to know!
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!"
