National pro-life groups continue this week to follow the development of “Baby Chris” (see www.BabyChris.org), now 36 weeks old. This project enables people to learn about – and see – the development that every human being undergoes in these first nine months of life.

Developmental facts and striking images and video are provided each week, along with a prayer and social media tools.


Developmental Facts
The baby is now 36 weeks old, since fertilization, is 19 inches long and weighs 6-1/2 pounds.

The heart has beat over 51 million times!

The baby’s head is the size of a large red pepper

The baby’s belly is finally as big around as the head.

The brain weighs a little less than ¾ of a pound.

The baby’s feet are about 2-3/4 inches long, and are now 35 times the length they were at 7 weeks.

Prayers

Prayer is the foundation of all we do in the pro-life movement.


How Beautiful are the feet..

Lord, Your word proclaims, “How beautiful the feet of those who proclaim good tidings!”

As I continue to learn about the development of the babies in the womb, I reflect on how you prepare their feet to serve you and your people.

You have a plan for where each child will go, Whom each person will encounter, And how each of your disciples will serve others.

How beautiful are the feet of those who serve, Who come to bring food to the hungry, Drink to the thirsty, Companionship to the lonely, Hope to the despairing, And good news to those awaiting a Savior.

Bless the feet of every child in the womb, And of all the rest of us as well. May we run in the way of your commandments, And go in haste to those who need our help.

And at last, after our feet have taken us to all the destinations in this world that you have planned for us, May we enter with joy the life that knows no end.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
