42: and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

I think it is beautiful. The birth of a baby and a woman being pregnant are holy and wonderful.A baby is Gods way of saying the world must go on.

babyinwomb,
It wouldn't be the first time that the Bible talked about things going on in the womb:
Genesis 25:21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
There are the lawyers of this day, attempting to give legal means to describe what only God knows, and also to tell us what we already know. The ones that WANT to believe differently only have their lame excuse of legality. Not truth!

Well, I believe God caused the baby of Elizabeth to "jump", this was to inform Elizabeth that Mary was carrying God's son, Elizabeth was able to validate to Mary that her pregnancy was from God. Mary was only 14 and must have been confused, even though the Angel had talked to her and explained things.

The prophet John the Baptist leaped because God had come in human flesh to save humanity from itself. Blessed is Mary the greates human ever created for the glory of God.

I'd say that agrees with scientific findings that babies in utero can hear outside the womb. Perhaps he got excited about having a new playmate?

That is really neat isn't it? It goes to show that babies in the womb are very much alive and reactive. Life begins at conception.

He was a leaper, not to be confused with a leper. That Bible is one goofy book, I must say.
