Week 19

Well, things are coming along well here. Rachel went to see my brother and his family in Tennessee this weekend. While she was gone, she felt Noah move some!! I can't wait until I can feel it too but I'm sure it will still be a while.

A couple of neat development points. By this time, Noah is displaying sleep and wake cycles just like a newborn baby and probably already has a sleep position of comfort.

In addition, the insulation that covers the nervous system (myelin) is beginning to develop which will allow impulses to travel smoothly and rapidly throughout Noah's body, giving him cat-like reflexes.

Pray for a great nervous system! In addition, we're going to have to decide soon when to put our house on the market for sale. Please pray that God would lead us to the right conclusion.

Psalm 4:8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Justin & Rachel & Noah,

We have a bunch of great lullabies to sing him to sleep when he comes out to see everyone. Until then, just hearing the grace of his Mommy's love and his Daddy's courage and Jesus' sweetest songs will be sure to keep him well rested.

And those "cat-like reflexes" will sure come in handy on the tennis or golf circuit, eh!

Interestingly, Granny and I started praying for you all to have wisdom and great timing as you begin to work to sell the house in Houston and look for a "HOME" in Abilene.

Love to you all 3!!!!

Love to all!!!

Granny & Grandpa D.
