How your baby’s growing: Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is …
(My previous post – down below this one – tells about how we found out about if we were getting a boy or a girl). Some of you might have already heard our name ideas for Baby Agnew. We had picked out some good boy names and some good girl names, but we were more constant about the name for …
Today was the day that Amanda and I went for the ultrasound. We were really anxious this morning and woke up real early. I went and took Amanda to school so we could ride together. I’ll have to be honest – we were totally unbiased about whether or not it was a boy or a girl. There are so many …
Wow. It’s already eighteen weeks along for Baby Agnew. It’s kinda hard to believe. Amanda has been doing spectacular. She is such a trooper, and she’s been doing great. She’s begun to feel some flips in her stomach down there. Whoever it is down there is starting to make his/her presence known for sure. Which brings me to a critical …
How your baby’s growing: Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and he’s around 5 inches long. He can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden to bone. His sense of hearing is also developing. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger …
It is officially week 16 today. That means that Baby Agnew has been in the womb for four out of the nine months! We are getting there. We are about sixteen days away from finding out the sex of our baby and we are pretty stoked. I’ve got some great baby names picked out, but if you have any suggestions, …

The gift of the Holy Spirit – a guide like none other The promise of eternity – I get to be with Jesus forever with no more sin and no more tears The Word …
How your baby’s growing: We’re going to find out if we are getting a boy or girl in a few weeks, but until then, here is what is happenning: Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She’s busy moving amniotic fluid …
Amanda and I got to go to the doctor again today and got to hear Baby Agnew’s heartbeat again. That sucker was kicking just as fast as the last time! They found it a lot quicker than last time, and it was so neat because as she was searching, once she locked onto the sound, I recognized it so quickly. …
There is a lot going on with your baby this week. Your baby’s intestines are migrating from the umbilical cord into his or her abdomen. The villi are also forming in the intestines, and these help in peristaltic movements and digestion. The liver begins to secrete bile and the pancreas is even secreting insulin! All twenty teeth have formed and …
