We made it to 24 weeks!

Today marks 24 weeks!!! We are so excited to get to this first milestone of many! I came up with the brilliant idea of milestone gifts!! The whole Morton family is going to Disney in October (yes I might be crazy taking a 3 month old to Disney) but my first prize is a Mickey ice cream in front of the princess castle. I have been to most of the Disney parks, but I have never been to Magic Kingdom so I'm very excited!!! This first milestone is so big because we were told we had to make it to 24 weeks for any life saving measures to take place for our son! If he came now it would still not be good but he would have parents putting up a fight for him. I am just trusting  the Father day by day to give us whatever time he knows we need! Tripp has gotten so much more active! I told Jeff it feels like I have snakes moving in my stomach. Jeff is finally getting to were he can feel the baby moving a good amount! It is so sweet to see the excitement on his face when he gets to feel our son, he is going to be an amazing daddy! Tripp has gotten stronger in his movements, there are times now that you can watch my belly move. It is so neat to see how God created the womb to hold a baby and for there to be signs of life through development. Here are a few cool facts about our sons development as of today!

• His weight should be 1 1/2 pounds (our little guy is already bigger than that)
• His size is equal to a standard envelope
• He will now start gaining 6 oz per week (yep, he probably going to follow the 10 pound Morton tradition :)
• His face is almost fully formed
• He has a full set of eyelashes and eyebrows
• He has hair forming on the top of his head

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your books were written every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." Psalms 139: 13-16

To God be the glory!
