Where the playas play....

Katie and I had a great weekend in Atlanta. Katie wanted to go down there and just shop, spend some time, look at baby stuff, etc... It was a great weekend.
We did end up getting some things for ourselves and luckily we did not know the sex of the baby, because otherwise we would have bought a LOT of stuff for the room. But just a couple more weeks and we should know!
You would not have know that we lived in Atlanta for 3 years though if you watched our driving this past weekend. I did 4 u turns, got lost a couple of times, and were 45 minutes late to dinner with Ty and Sara Pattison!
But overall we had a great time.
This is the 15th week- At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, the baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. It's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in it's lungs. the legs are growing longer than the arms now, and it can move all its joints and limbs. That means its hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although its eyelids are fused shut, the baby can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, it is likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but the taste buds are beginning to form.
Keep praying for wisdom in raising a child, finances, what to do when, etc... And of course continue to pray for healthy development.
Peace Up, A-Town Down
