As of this weekend, you are 30 weeks along (7 months). Only 10 more weeks till your arrival. I really can't believe how fast it's approaching. One of the side effects of being pregnant is hearing everyones horror stories of labor. I'm not sure why people chose to share such moments with a first time Mom-to-be, but they do. I've heard multiple stories of babies that were born 2 months early and spent the first months of their lives in ICU. I pray everyday that you hold out a little longer, just to make sure you're good and ready for this world.
I've truly enjoy reading about your progress inside me. This past week, it says you've begun to practice breathing. What a miracle right there! First that God could create another living being within the womb, feeding off of my body. Second, that he planed out the entire process to include preparing you for the world out here. It still amazes me to think of the process. From the first day when you were barely visible to today, when you're fully proportionate and practicing your breathing. Of course, what they also mention, is the fact that you're breathing in the amniotic fluid that is currently your home. With that comes a little side effect of hiccups. I finally know what those feel like, as it becomes clear to me that you've been doing a lot of practicing in there.
The other amazing development is that of your senses, which are now fully developed. You can see, hear, touch, taste & smell everything going on around you. With that said, I hope you enjoy the Christmas music. :) I can never get enough of it. I wish I could see a picture of you looking around and taking it all in. Again, what a miracle. God is Truly Amazing.
Well, 3 more weeks until Christmas. Even though we'll celebrate your first Christmas next year, I can't help but feel like you've been a part of this one all along. :)
Tonight I begin our first class of prenatal yoga. I think it will be so much fun. It's supposed to help build muscle and prepare me for the adventure ahead, you!
Take care my sweet child. I love you so much.
