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.
