Hm. For some reason blogger won't let me give this entry a title. No big deal.
I'm up late. Thinking. Hungry. Blown away by the pictures in the book Don and I were looking at tonight-- "In the Womb" is the name, I think. It's a National Geographic book, I think, and it follows the growth of a baby from conception to birth, with some of the most fantastic (in the truest sense of that word "fantastic") images ever.
Did you know that right now my baby has a face??? Oh my gosh. A face. And little tiny hands and feet. And it's the size of a grape, about 1 and 1/2 inches long. That its little placenta is now doing most of the work of balancing hormones and providing perfect amounts of nutrients and oxygen, etc., to the baby.
I can't sleep, I'm so amazed at this. This is a miracle.
I mean, okay-- I'm sick all the time. Who cares??? I'll get over it-- and this little person is my reward!!
Wow.
Wow. Imagine how God feels? Watching this kind of thing over and over again, breathing life into it (wow-- I have my spirit in here, the Holy Spirit in here, and my child's spirit, hanging out inside me, growing every second). It can't ever get old. I'm sure it doesn't.

I know...it's it amazing to think about what is going on inside your body? Even though I can now feel Myers moving all the time it still blows me away that there is a person growing inside me! It is truly a miracle!
