Scripture Help

I know I can find all the scriptures on my own but thought it would go faster if I get some help.

Last year for Christmas I received an Advent Calendar.  It has 24 pieces that are magnetized to a painted background of the stable.  I want to write on the back of each piece scriptures to read when we take it out of its cubby and put it on the board.

There are 4 sheep, 2 cows, 1 donkey, 3 camels, 3 wise men, 1 shepherd, 1 inn keeper, 2 angels, 3 stars, 1 "STAR", and of course Mary, Joseph, and Jesus.

I know I want to put Luke 2:8-18 on the shepherd, and Luke 2:1-7 on the inn keeper.  For the two angels I'm most likely going to put when Gabriel told Mary she was pregnant (Luke 1:26-38) and Joseph's dream (Matthew 1:18-25).

Any suggestions for the others?  I was thinking maybe some of the prophecies on the stars and/or some of the animals.

12 Weeks

Our baby's the size of a plum!

The average fetus at 12 weeks is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces.  Most of her critical systems are fully formed!  She's about to enter the growth and maturation stage, in which her organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly.  She's now developing her reflexes -- if you poke her body, she'll likely move.  She's opening and closing her fingers and curling her toes.  Her brain is developing fast!

We should be able to hear the babies heart beat at my next appointment on the 3rd.  I'm feeling a lot better; my energy is pretty much back and not to many food are causing issues.  I'm still avoiding onions.

11 weeks

11 weeks and about the size of a lime.

Your fetus is about 1.6 inches long, and she's got about a 1:1 head to body ratio. She now weighs in at about .25 ounces.  You can't see it, but she's moving fluidly and gracefully in there.  Her skin is see-through, but she's on her way to looking more like a baby.  Her fingers and toes aren't webbed anymore.  Tooth buds, hair follicles and nail beds are forming.

10 Weeks

Your baby's the size of a prune!

Now, she's about 1.2 inches long and weighs about .14 ounces. Her body length will almost double in the next three weeks.  Baby has working arm joints, and her cartilage and bones are forming.  Her vital organs are fully developed and they're starting to function.  Her fingernails and hair are starting to appear, too.  Plus, she's swallowing and kicking in there. (Can you believe it?!)

Holy Hair Growth Batman!  I swear with the prenatal vitamins and everything else growing, my hair has decided to keep up.  I can shave and then have a 5 o'clock shadow  four hours later.  The baby has really been giving me problems of late.  I can't seem to eat anything lately without having gas/heartburn like issues.  I haven't been sleep the greatest since finding out we were pregnant; keep waking up and rolling over.

Still working on a name.  I can't decided between Colin Robert and Declan Robert.  Michael said he likes both and doesn't care which one I pick.  If we have a girl it will be Evangeline Ann which means "Bearer of Good News; Gracious, Merciful".

9 Weeks

Your baby's the size of a green olive!
She's gaining steam! At week nine, your fetus measures around .09 inches and weighs about .07 ounces. She's also developing more distinct facial features. And her heartbeat is getting stronger.

Your baby is now a fetus!
Baby was considered an embryo -- but now she's a fetus! So what does that mean exactly? During the embryonic period, cells begin to take on different functions. The brain, heart, lungs, internal organs and arms and legs begin to form. Once baby is a fetus, it’s more about growth and development to prep for life on the outside. Happy graduation baby!

I'm doing well,  most of my symptoms seem to have disappeared already.  Had me a little worried the first day or two.  I'm still very gassy and get tired easy.  Getting ready for the holidays and trying to figure out all the holiday travel and family visits.  Voted today!

8 Weeks

Your baby's the size of a raspberry!

Now she weighs in (yay!) at about .04 ounces and measures about .63 inches. This week, she's growing about a milimeter each day.  You can't feel it yet, but she's moving those arms and legs like crazy!  Her fingers and toes are now only slightly webbed, and her tail (yes, she had one) is gone.  Fun fact: your baby's taste buds are now forming.

Feeling pretty good; still get tired very easily.  Most days I nap with the kids which means not much is getting done around the house.  Thankfully, Michael has stepped up and done quite a few things that I just haven't gotten to lately.

Had our first appointment yesterday.  Everything looks good.  My Dr. put my due date a week later on the 18th.  Not sure why, I'm thinking she put in the wrong date for last menstruation on her little chart.  Our first ultrasound will not be until 20 weeks so I'm a little bummed about not being able to see the baby early like we did last time.

Destruction

I swear, Patrick has to destroy at least 3 things every day.  Today, he found the bag of Chex mix that I keep upstairs incase I get a queasy stomach.  This he proceeded to dump on the floor and step all over.  I have more crumbs that I know what to do with.  I send him and the twins I watch down stairs to watch a movie.  While I'm getting a drink for one of the girls Patrick climbs on to the glass endtable and knocks the lamp over.  The lamp shade shatters as well as the light bulb.  I locked him in his room so I could clean it up.  Now, he's pulling the stuffing out of the arm of the couch.
