One Loved Zucchini

It seems like each week this baby has been compared to some food... and we have truly expanded these days. From the little days of beans and peanuts, this baby has left the legume portion of the pyramid, swelled to strawberry-size, been shrimp-shaped, later had avocado dimensions, and now as the 19th week begins I have a"Zucchini" inside of me!!

ACCORDING TO NORMS, this little being is doing UNBELIEVABLE things this week:
How your baby's growing: Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing six million eggs in her ovaries.

My prayer for this little "zucchini" is that in ALL things, this child will EXPERIENCE the love of God through all these things the Creator is creating him to do. May this baby smell, taste, hear, see and touch; to the glory of God and grow to love Him more than ALL things.
