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!)

This picture is of a child that was born at 31 weeks.

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.

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.

Jonathan has made it to 22 weeks old! :) Jonathan now weighs about a pound. He can also hear conversations more clearly than before. When his mom talks, reads, or sings he will hear her. Jonathan's eyelids and eyebrows are fully developed and his fingernails have grown to the end of his fingers.

20 weeks!

Jonathan is now about 10 inches long from head to heel and weighs 11oz. His mom can feel him move too! :) Jonathan also has a unique sleeping pattern and even has a favorite sleeping position. Jonathan's time in his mother's womb is about half over and his mom is beginning to "show."

Lord, please keep Jonathan and all

18 weeks

Today Jonathan is 17 weeks old, but my information i use does not have a 17 week and I will be out of town, so I am posting Jonathan's 18th week today.


Jonathan has made it to 18 weeks! In these past two weeks he has almost doubled in weight to 7 ounces! His skeleton is hardening and calcifying and is visible on ultra sound. his reflexes, such as blinking and frowning, are now developed. Jonathan also has his own unique fingerprints and toe prints! Some studies show that at 18 weeks, Jonathan would be able to feel pain.

Lord, please protect Jonathan and all the other children in danger of abortion. Thank you, Jesus, for protecting them and being with them. Stay with their mothers and fathers and help them to see the beautiful child you have blessed them with. Amen.


God Bless you! Thank you for reading!
