16 weeks/4 months [praying for baby J]

Development Prayers:
In the next few weeks, baby j will double in weight and add inches to length. Right now, he's/she's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. Pray that final positioning is happening without any problem. The legs are much more developed, the head is more erect than it has been, and the eyes have moved closer to the front of the head. Baby j's ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of the scalp has begun, though his/her locks aren't recognizable yet. Toenails have even started growing. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, baby j's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as baby j continues to develop. Pray for baby j's heart to be formed like it should and to continue working properly and doing it's job.

Symptoms:

• ligament pain--still getting some of this and I was told to expect it for the next couple weeks or so.  But it has gotten less severe since 12-14 wks.
