Thank heaven

28 weeks...the start of 7 months.
Oh thank heaven for seven...and thank heaven for little boys. <3

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can open and close his eyes, which now sport lashes. This movement is more of a reflexive blink than a deliberate opening and closing, but it won't be long before he's batting those beauties at you.

With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Sweet baby, I've got no silly names for you this week.
Daddy and I have come close to a name and now that's all that comes to mind for these posts. Common or not, somehow it just fits. We're not ready to share just yet, but soon enough, you'll get a real name.

What is most important is that you are a child of God's. He has been so gracious to bring you to us. We love you, and we thank heaven for you.

Thank you, Lord, for another day.
