Charissa's random gasps are very entertaining. While talking to me after work she interrupts herself to let out a creative noise to announce the movement of our little girl. Our baby has had movements that you can feel are hard on the side of Charissa and now she is beginning to actually jut out. I guess its cooler to me than Charissa, but I hope to record a creative gasp for all of our amusement. :)
Speaking of our dancing baby....
By now the baby's lungs and digestive tract are nearly mature. Your baby's irises can now dilate and contract in response to light. Due to the deposits of white fat underneath the skin your baby's skin is no longer red, but is now the wonderful newborn pink color. Her fingernails may reach the end of the hands, too. Your baby is now a little over 3 pounds and is 16 inches long.
I can feel myself slowly turning into a parent. I worry allot more now. Wonderment about society, people driving too fast, my habits and temperament, finances, and projects around the house. The answers are not fast coming but a budding maturity is growing. My acceptance of humility is probably the aspect I am holding strong to now. I don't know how to be a dad. However, I am truly excited to learn along side Charissa to be good parents. For soon our prayer, turned miracle, and soon real life baby in our arms; that is motivation to trust in God and celebrate the creation of life.
