We are now 22ish weeks along which means baby is over 10-11 inches long and weighs over a pound. In vegetable terms, she is the length of a spaghetti squash. Woo-hoo! :)
Baby girl has been kicking since Thanksgiving, but tonight was different. After a long day of being on-the-go, I finally collapsed on the couch which seemed to communicate that it was her turn to move around. Being as small as she is, there is quite a bit of room for her to hide. Tonight she must have decided to get as close to the outer reaches of her galaxy as possible because when she kicked, I noticed my belly jerk! At first I thought I might have exhaled or moved, but watched as she continued to jar the walls of her little home. I'm told that at some point in the near future, her kicks will be strong enough to hurt, but for now, her little motions are sweet and exciting to me. What an incredible thing the Lord does with each little baby's development! David's words about being knit together in his mother's womb and being known by the Lord before his birth have such awesome meaning if you really stop to consider the miracle of life. God certainly outdoes Himself with the intricacies of His creation!!!
