It is interesting to me that the average baby is around 19 inches at birth, but is already around 17 inches at 7 months. So they don't grow much longer the last two months, just fill out with more weight.
I'm so looking forward to what will probably be the highlight of 2009....
By the way -- HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My daughter, Ashley, is serving as an incubator for my first granddaughter. She was home for Christmas and one of my priceless gifts was the privilege of frequently touching her stomach to feel the moving, kicking, shoving, stretching, hiccuping, twisting, somersaulting (okay, maybe not somersaulting) body of life that is in her body. As I felt that child, only millimeters of skin away from being able to see and touch her, I had to ask myself, " How......How could ANYBODY not think that was a living person. To think that terminating them should not be considered murder and wrong....
I'll never understand that. I'm not a real political activist, or seldom get on a soap box. But I would have to state my case loud and clear if there was a decision to be made regarding MY granddaughter.
Okay, I guess I'll get off the box before I trip, fall and hurt myself.
