Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Jonathan was born today!
He is 20.5 inches long and weighs 8.2 pounds.

I wanted to be able to share a picture of a newborn with you. This is what I imagine Jonathan to look like <3

Thank you for following along with him as he made his journey to birth.  Who knows what wonders he will bring to this life.  For Jonathan, One adventure has ended and another has begun.  Many people would say "welcome to life, Jonathan" but Jonathan has been alive for 9 months. He is only in a new stage of life.

God Bless.

40 weeks!

Jonathan is due any day now! He has spend 40 weeks in his mother and she decided to choose life. Jonathan is 20 inches long and he weighs about 8 pounds. He has a plump, healthy body. He is head down in his mother's pelvis and is awaiting his birth! Only 4% of babies are born on their due date and Jonathan is not one of that 4%.


Lord Jesus, protect and save the unborn.

34 weeks old!

Jonathan is 34 weeks old! he is now about 17 inches and weighs about 4 1/2 pounds! AND he's still growing and maturing! At this stage in his development, his eyes are wide open and if he saw light his pupils would contract. How cool is that!? His head is covered in hair, brown like his mother. His fingernails have reached the tips of his fingers and his toe nails almost reach the ends of his toes.

Here is an image of a child that was born 34 weeks preemie

Lord Jesus, protect and save the unborn.


God Bless! Thank you for reading!

31 weeks old!

I apologize that I have not given many updates on Jonathan lately. It is harder to find reliable sources of what he is doing in the womb.

Jonathan is now about 13 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds. He will still gain 3 to 5 (or more) pounds. Jonathan's brain is developing faster than ever! Connections between individual nerve cells are growing and he can now perceive info from all 5 senses!

Jonathan spends his days making faces, hiccuping, swallowing, breathing, pedaling his little hands and feet along his mother's uterine wall, and even sucking on his thumb. (Some babies suck their thumb so much while they are in the womb that they're born with a callus on their thumb!)

Lord Jesus, please protect Jonathan and all the other children in danger of abortion. Help their parents to see the beautiful gift you have blessed them with. In Your name we pray, Amen.

Gob bless you!

28 weeks old!

Jonathan is 28 weeks old! He is about 15 inches long and weighs 2 and a half pounds! If Jonathan were born premature now, he would be able to (with the help of intensive care) breath air. His brain is developed enough to coordinate rhythmic breathing and regulate body temperature. As he continues to gain weight, the skin becomes less wrinkled and more smooth.

Lord Jesus, please protect Jonathan and all the other children in danger of abortion.

26 weeks!

Jonathan now weighs almost 2 pounds and he can react to sounds outside his mother's body. His eyes can now respond to light and the permanent teeth buds are apparent in the gums. His eyelashes and eyebrows are well-formed and the hair on Jonathan's head is growing longer.

Lord Jesus, protect and save the unborn

24 weeks!

Jonathan now weighs about 1 1/2 pounds! He also inhales amniotic fluid in preparation for breathing. Jonathan's ear has developed enough that he can recognize his mother's voice, breathing and heart beat. About a week ago, Jonathan started having rapid eye movements. This is associated with dreaming. Some Babies born at Jonathan's stage of development are able to survive. :)

Lord Jesus, please protect Jonathan and all the other children in danger of abortion. Be with their parents and help them to see the beautiful child you have blessed them with.
