Declan is now about 12 inches long, the size of an ear of corn! He weighs somewhere over a pound, supposedly gaining 4 ounces last week alone! The most amazing fact to me, this week, is that my uterus is now the size of a soccer ball. A SOCCER BALL! Crazy. It does explain the belly pic below, though!
Declan has been kicking like crazy the past two days and seems to be getting stronger! It is wonderful but sometimes distracting!
This past Sunday was my last weekend on the worship team for church until sometime after Declan is born, which was sad for me. However, it was a GREAT Sunday to leave off on, God was there and it was amazing!
What I found interesting and strange was that during practice, we had a couple of times where the bass rumbled through the floor and I could feel my internal organs vibrating...and I could feel Declan vibrating! Such a weird feeling! Then, I was sitting on a subwoofer and the drummer started pounding on the kick drum and Declan started squirming! I know he heard it and now I am interested to know if he will like music with lots of bass when he gets older!
My energy level seemed to go up this past week, or I was more motivated to work through the drowsiness! I was busy from sun up to sun down Thursday through Saturday and I was up early on Sunday to be at church by 8:00 am for worship practice and I didn't get overly tired until Sunday after church...whew!
My mom came to visit this weekend and helped me with Declan's room. I will do a separate post soon about the different projects we did and that I am finishing up. I can't wait to get the wall decorations up and the room put back together...it is currently very undone!
I am not really having any cravings, though I did eat more than my fair share of pumpkin cupcakes this weekend...they were SO good!
Random Thoughts: In about three months my life will radically change, and I cannot even fathom how much or exactly how. I look forward to it on some levels but on others I will miss the freedom that we have now to go out on dates randomly throughout the week and have friends over at the spur of the moment or regularly without having to think about how it might effect a wee one.
I know I am on the cusp of a great adventure, but as the unknown is always scary, I have to constantly remind myself that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am on God's path, not my own, and his love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me!
Cheers, my lovelies! Thanks for keeping up with Declan and me.
