Every life is a gift. From the moment of conception to anticipated due date, the journey of pregnancy can be equally exciting and terrifying for a new mother. With each week of pregnancy, the little one taking shape in the womb reaches important milestones of development. What better way to celebrate than to offer gratitude to the Creator of life as well as continued requests for protection, health, and blessing?

This 40-week pregnancy devotional offers a brief fact about each week's development, an encouraging Scripture, inspiring meditation, prayer for the beautiful life that is forming, and space to record your special memories.

Kick off your shoes (if you can still untie them), lower yourself into a chair (this may take longer than expected), elevate those swollen feet, and spend some time resting in God's presence. Let your little one know how very loved they are by you and by the heavenly Father… already.
