on becoming a gentleman

Week 16

gen-tle-man

Pronounciation: \ ˈjen-t^əl-mən

In it's best use, the "gentleman" involves a certain superior standard of conduct, unrestrained yet delicate manners. Thus by a sort of punning process the "gentleman" becomes a "gentle-man". In another sense, being a gentleman, while inutero means treating others, especially his MOMMY in a respectful/GENTLE manner. (Example: No longer causing such horrible, daily morning sickness! Happily kicking and turning about inutero).

Little Baby J is head to toe about 5 1/2" tall. (Well with Charlie and I as His parents- who knows!) and weighs about 4.5 ounces. About the size of an avocado. He can grasp with those little hands, kick and somersault! His muscles are developing and he is holding his head more erect and making faces now (squint, frown and open his mouth)! He can hear tones and sounds this week. There's about 7.5 ounces of amniotic fluid that Little Baby is swimming around in. His tiny heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, this about will continue to increase.

This is about how big Little Mr. is in my hand this week.

This is what I'm looking like this week...

And if by any chance you hadn't caught on yet.... Last Friday we found out we're having a baby BOY! The ultrasound picture left little to be determined.

WE ARE SO EXCITED TO MEET OUR BABY BOY BLESSING!

What a gift this Little Mr. is to us. Thank you Jesus. Psalm 100:3-4

Side-note: We won't be sharing any name or name idea's until after he's born.
