the thirteenth week

She is my daughter....She is my friend. She carries herself well as a pastor's wife and as a mother.

Amanda is growing our fifth grandchild. We talk every day about how much better this pregnancy is than the last two. She is trying so hard to fulfill her responsibilities.......I admire her immense ability to go through trials with a good attitude. She is truly a blessing to me of rich value.

There aren't many Amanda's in this world.

The new baby is doing so well. An unexpected ultrasound last week showed her (?) doing sommmersaults in Amanda's belly.

By this, the thirteenth week, the baby has unique fingerprints on the tips of her tiny, well formed fingers......she is almost four inches long and weighs in at one and one fourth pounds.

Praise to God for this most priceless gift.
