28 weeks...

So, I've definitely been a little shy about pictures lately, but at this point I've finally received enough requests from people to see a 'tummy pic' of how big Arwen is so far... here it is!  

Arwen at 28 weeks (about 6 and a half months).

It's a Girl!

*Wow*...well, they say life is full of surprises, and little Arwen Rayne is definitely one of them... What an amazing miracle from God she is though, and I can't wait to actually meet her and cuddle her in my very own arms in less than three short months! (due June 7th).

These pictures were taken at my 20-week ultrasound that I had about a month and a half ago.  What an *intense* experience it was to actually watch this tiny little person kicking and wriggling around inside of me!  There were multiple times when I found myself trying to choke back tears just from being so overwhelmed by the miracle and reality of it all.  What a precious little one!  Already such a priceless creation...

Psalm 139:14-16

"For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, 

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you 

when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 

your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me 

were written in your book 

before one of them came to be."
