170 days to go! (almost 16 weeks)

I'm going into another stretch of night shifts so I'm doing my '16 week' post 2 days early.

I like avocados...

I added another pair of pants to the too small box the other day - I guess I'm growing! My weight hasn't really gone up the past month - normally I would be excited about that BUT Brennan was too skinny and I want this baby to be as healthy as possible. I've felt the baby move a few more times. Such a great feeling! Can't wait to feel them more consistently and without having to be sitting a certain way and almost holding my breath.


And my 15.5 weeks shot from last time:

(heehee - I love this pic! My clothes are hilarious - my painting shirt and some enormously baggy jeans)

I was reading my pregnancy journal with Brennan the other day and came upon this prayer that I found on the internet:

~Prayer for a safe pregnancy~

This life You have given us is so tiny, fragile, and vulnerable, safe in the womb of flesh & hope, yet subject to danger & death. O God, creator of life, hear our prayer. We want this baby so much. Please grant this child of ours a full term of nurture, the joy & mystery of life & the blessing of Your love. Grant us the fulfillment of our dreams, a baby to cherish & protect, a child to teach & guide, a blessing to our family. Amen. (Vienna Cobb Anderson)
