Hearing

Brielle’s favorite band. Yes, I do see the parental advisory, don’t judge me. Picture credit.

Brielle’s hearing has finished developing and we’ve noticed! She’s picking up sound that is much quieter now as well as having more diverse music preferences. I have no explanation for this, but when I ask her to move (so that David and I can see her move), she moves! She’ll give big kicks and punches! Last night Brielle and I were getting frustrated with her Daddy because he kept falling asleep when she’d show off! She was working so hard to show him her movements. He apologized and gave her lots of kisses though, that made her happy. She started dancing after that, I think she forgave him.

These are her little feet! Aren’t they the cutest?

This is Brielle’s umbilical cord and abdomen. The duck beak looking thing on the left is her umbilical cord.

This is Brielle’s heart. The dark part in the middle of the blob is her heart.

Side view with her head instead of her legs. Face is really blurry. Top blob is a picture of her arm that is kind of cut in half. It’s a view of her muscle and bone inside the middle of her arm.

Is Abortion Murder?

I used to attend the Village Church when I lived in Denton. Matt makes an excellent argument here on the realities of abortion. I really don’t think I could say it better myself. I’m posting the whole article, but the video clip is really the best part. Everything he says is spot on and I think he makes an excellent point, that the majority of the one million abortions that happen every year are not due to rape or the mother’s life being in danger, but based on the baby being an inconvenience.

The clip is really worth your time.

P.S. When transferring this post over to the blog I just attached the video clip, not the whole article.

Daddy’s Girl

Yesterday evening, when the garage door opened, Brielle jumped with excitement. The moment David announced he was home, she started dancing. She loves her Daddy! And last night she was so happy as David read her a bedtime story. I wish he could feel how she moves when he talks to her and rubs on my belly. She’s just so happy and gets so excited.
