12 Weeks and Growing


Here are more cute clothes for you from Aunt Jilly and Uncle Josh...



My Growing belly
...and growing!


Hey Sweet Peanut! Today I received a package from your Aunt Jill to help celebrate 12 weeks! She has such great taste in baby clothes. You are 12 weeks and 4 days old now. You are about the size of a lime, 2 and 1/2 inches long, weighing about 1/2 ounce. Your fingers and toes are growing tiny little nails. My belly is growing a little too and it is getting more and more exciting! Each day we are praying, reading and planning. I am trying not to get ahead of myself but take one day at a time, enjoying each moment. There are moments of nausea and early bed times too, but it is good that you are reminding me I need my sleep! I pray over you these verses and these are some of my very favorite.
Ephesians 3:16 - 21
"I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you a mighty inner strength, that comes from his Holy Spirit. I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your heart as you learn to trust in Him. I pray that you will be able to understand, as all God's people should, how long, how high, how deep and how wide the love of God is. I pray that you would experience this love, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Once you experience this love, then you will be filled with the fullness of life and the power that comes from God. Now to Him who is able to do infinitely more than we could dare to ask, hope or even imagine, to Him be the glory in the church and in Jesus Christ to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
I love you little one and know that God loves you more than I could ever imagine! Love, mom

  2. Jess, I was in church today and passed your dad who was GLOWING. He was talking to Nicole (Cowley)Kestel and I could have sworn I overhead him say "Our Jessie is due..." I turned around and said "Did I just hear you right? Are you going to be a grandpa?" He got a big smile on his face, gave me a bear hug and said with pride "Yes!!"

    So, congratulations Jessica. Enjoy the pregnancy. It is such a marvlous and wondeful time. I promise you - you will enjoy it!!
