Baby Chris is now the size of a mango, measures 6.7 inches and weighs 3.5 ounces. The baby’s heart has beat well over 17 million times already.

For unknown reasons, around this time scientists have observed that baby girls move their jaws significantly more often than baby boys.

Mom may begin to feel her baby kicking inside her at this point in time. This phenomenon is known as “quickening.” As we know from what we’ve seen so far, Baby Chris has been moving around for a long time already, but has been too small for mom to feel those movements yet. So this is not the time that the baby starts moving, but only the time that Mom may start feeling it.

Lord, your Word tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, as you fashion us “in secret” within the womb. (Psalm 139)
The unborn child at the age of 14 weeks has been moving around for a long time already, but Mom has not been feeling it yet.
We thank you for this new manifestation of the child, this new “revelation” of your glory as the child’s Creator.
In you, O Lord, we live and move and have our being. Each human life is a manifestation ofyour glory. Each movement is a reminder of your presence and power.
Lord, bless each mother, that as she begins to feel her baby, the bond of love between mother and child may grow even stronger, and her praise of you, the Lord of Life, may likewise increase.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
