MacNut Week 15

My sister gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Donovan Mychal this morning!!

Technically, this is what's going on this week:
  • MacNut is the size of an apple (Washington-grown!) - ~3.98 inches and 2.47 ounces. 
  • He or she can move its arms and make a fist.
  • Fingernails and toenails are present.
  • Baby's skin is still very thin.
Physical:
  • Weight: 124 lb (-2)
  • Belly circumference: 32.75 in (+2.25)
  • Pretty tired this week because of the move.  I had to stop to rest a few times because I was actually feeling a couple of Braxton-Hicks ctx.  Eeeps!
  • Chin threw out his back, which is not good...but at least he's taking care of himself by taking it easy and going to a chiropractor/PT.
Spiritual & emotional:
  • It felt a little strange to be in Factoria for maybe the first couple of days...but now it feels completely normal.
  • I've been having a series of unnerving dreams about losing our baby.  Fortunately, I am completely calm in the dreams and I wake up feeling confident that I am being embraced by the Almighty.  It's only when I think about it more that it becomes scary ... I don't think I should think so much :)
