28 weeks

So, this is what you've been waiting for....a belly picture.  Here we are at 28 weeks (that's 7 months).  I am taking a prenatal yoga class with my friend Becca.  All the stretching and breathing is supposedly good for our bodies as everything rearranges to make room for the babes (as in helps with all the aches!) - labor is also supposed to be smoother and faster (which I'll gladly take!)  Anyway, this picture was taken as I was walking out the door for my class.

God is such an amazing creator!  This week, as Graham continues to grow, his major organs are all developed and will just continue to develop for the next several weeks.  He is opening his eyes now for the first time (they've been fused shut until now) and can sense light.  He is also forming definite sleeping and awake time.  So far, he is VERY active late at night and also early in the morning.  Yay for the upcoming lack of sleep :)  My little brother Andrew was born at 29 weeks.  He is now 16, driving, and has a job - wow, so grown up!  Graham is about 2 lbs. 6 oz....when Andrew was born, he was 5 lbs. only one week from now.  It is amazing how the Father prepares His precious children to be brought into this world!  We pray that Graham will continue to grow and develop in the coming weeks and that our Father continues His work on us to prepare us as parents.  I am so thankful for these weeks when I am able to feel him wiggle around, do his flips, and practice his punches and kicks.  I'll never get to have him this close to me constantly again!  (he just gave me a good kick, haha)
