One night last week Mamma came home from work and laid down on the couch because she was so tired. After a while I started to move, which I like to do while she is resting, and all the sudden she realized she could see me moving her belly around on the outside. In fact, I'm moving and rolling so much now that Daddy can watch me from across the couch, and when he pokes me a lot of times I like to poke him back. That's how Daddy and I play. Last night Daddy played with me a lot right before bed and finally Mamma said, "its time for sleep!" she loves us playing together but she says we have to sleep more when it's night time. I'm getting so big now that when my foot is moving or when my bottom is sticking out, Mamma and Daddy can tell which part of me is there...sometimes they can tell where my spine is too! Mamma says when she watches me move it feels like there is an alien inside her.
Daddy recorded some drums last weekend at church and I liked that a lot, it was loud and great dancing music...Mamma said she could feel me dancing all morning until Daddy finally got the perfect take! I love Daddy's music, and I love the other music he plays me, and I think I love all music. I also think I love Daddy a lot...I always move a lot more when he is talking to me.
This week I'm 30 weeks old...we are 3/4 of the way there! I am already 17 inches tall so I'm plenty long enough, but I only weigh about 3 lbs. Mamma says this next month I'll grow about 1/2 pound a week, so she is feeding me lots of yummy foods so I get big and strong! This week and next week my brain and my eyes are developing a lot. Right now I can open and close my eyes but they can't see very well at all. Soon I'll be able to see my own hands and then later I can see everyone on the outside! I'm getting smarter too, my brain is getting more and more connections so that I can learn every day.
Mamma and Daddy had a hard week of figuring out big decisions for the future like where we are going to live. The house does not want us to move in, and Mamma is starting to get worried about something called "Plan B." Mamma's eyes have been leaking a lot and Daddy is having to give her lots of hugs and sweet whispers and ice cream. Mamma says Daddy is the best guy in the world. He is not the only one who is giving us help...there are a lot of people wanting to give me old clothes and toys and blankets, so Mamma has had lots of stuff to organize and look through while she waits to know where we are living. She had fun looking at and sorting all the little clothes. She says I have more clothes than she does and I'm not even born yet! She also says that Aunt Cici is planning a party for us when we go to Illinois next month and she can't believe how much work and love is going into that day. She says that God is blessing us with so many people who love me and want to help her and make me feel special as I enter the world, and that makes her so thankful.
She says that God provides what we need, and not what we want, in His timing. She says His plan is perfect. This week when she says these things her eyes get shiny...but I think she means them.
This week Mamma has been listening to one of her favorite songs. We wanted to share it with you. We hope your soul is well today.
It is Well-- Bethel Music
