Adorable Face and Tiny Toes

I was already excited about this little one forming inside of me, but after seeing him on that screen for the first time, I was instantly bonded. My heart is already overwhelmed with love for him, and now I can't imagine how much it will be magnified when I actually hold him in my arms!

Since I became pregnant, I started reading all I could about pregnancy and the stages of development that the baby goes through. I've learned so much! And it has thoroughly fascinated me. God's creation is so amazing, and the process of forming the human life is the greatest of all.

Psalm 139 has always been a favorite passage of mine, but after all I have been learning about the growth of this little life inside of me, I now read that passage with a whole new perspective!
"For You created my inmost being;
You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body."

I was hoping to scan the pictures in at work, but apparently the scanner at work is not geared for tiny detail... So I resorted to taking pictures of the pictures. They are a little blurry, but I think you can make them out well enough. The first picture was the best shot of his cute face. The second, as the caption reads, is one of his adorable little feet. You can see his tiny toes!

The miracle of a baby is truly the work of Almighty God! I also cannot wait to hold my grandbaby in my arms! Seeing his little face and foot makes him even more precious!

You have to go to KevinandRachel.blogspot.com
I thought that was your blog address and I was reading about Kevin's trip to Egypt! I thought the guy looked a bit like Kevin but with no hair. I was just wondering when Kevin had a chance to throw in a trip to Cairo with everything else going on!
