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.
All the days ordained for me were written in Your book
before one of them came to be. 1

“For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me
my petition that I made to Him.” 3
Just ten days after conception, this little boy stopped his mother’s menstrual cycle. Fourteen days later his heart began to beat through a closed circulatory system. At 4 weeks his arm buds appeared and his eyes began to form. At 6 weeks he was less than ½ inch long, but brain waves could already be recorded. He began to move and his spine was clearly visible. A week later he had clearly defined fingers and began to move his hands. At 8 weeks all his systems were developed — skeletal, digestive, circulatory, and respiratory, and he was so excited he began doing flips! One week later he had his own unique fingerprints. He started to suck his thumb and swallow. At 12 weeks he started turning his head, frowning, making a fist, and curling his toes!
And now it’s been 39 weeks and he’s finding the place much too small-it’s cramping his style. He’s ready to meet you and he hopes to make his grand entrance next week!
Marcus, Lucas, and Hannah LeTexier anticipate their new brother’s arrival next week. Susana will be induced on Sept 3rd if baby hasn’t come on his own before then. She and Joe certainly appreciate your continued prayers.
Isn’t this incredible?!
Blessings,
Paul
