Fearfully and Wonderfully Made and That's a Fact!

Hello out there - I hope you're all doing well! I thought it was time to share the
following information again. I hope that you will share it also!





Did you know…that at the moment of conception when we were smaller than
a grain of sugar this is what happens!?!

Day 1: Fertilization
The sperm joins with the egg to form one cell. This single cell contains the
complex genetic makeup for every detail of a new human being. It has already
been determined if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl, a son or a daughter!
From that moment of conception the color of the baby’s hair and eyes,
their skin tone, and their height is set.
After fertilization, nothing new is added but oxygen, nutrition, and time!
Isn’t that amazing?!

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.    

                                  - Jeremiah 1:5

"Truly you have formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. I give

you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made; wonderful are your works.

My soul also you knew full well; nor was my frame unknown to you when I was made in secret,

when I was fashioned in the depths of the earth.”  Psalm 139:13-15

1st Month (1-4 Weeks)

Did you know that a developing baby's heart begins to beat at just 18 days? Isn't that
amazing? Muscles are forming, and arms, legs, eyes, and ears have begun to show.
2nd Month (5-8 Weeks)
By six weeks the jaw forms, including teeth and taste buds. The baby begins to swallow
amniotic fluid, and some have been observed hiccupping.
The kidneys begin to function. Fingers and toes are developing.
At seven weeks a baby's chest and abdomen are fully formed.

3rd Month (9-12 Weeks)
The baby now has fingerprints, turns his or her head, and opens and closes their mouth.
The sex of the baby can already be determined.
4th Month (13-16 Weeks)
This little baby is growing, and will be between 8-10 inches in length, and weighs about
one-half pound by the end of the fourth month.
His or her little ears can hear their momma's heartbeat, and external noises.

In this picture I am holding a fetal model that is the same size as an unborn baby at 16 weeks                          in their mother's womb.

5th Month (17-20 Weeks)
This little one is growing bigger and moving a lot. Some babies have been seen sucking
their thumb during a sonogram at the fifth month.
6th Month (21-24 Weeks)
A baby's oil and sweat glands are functioning. This little one is growing rapidly and his or
her lungs are becoming more developed.

Let the children come to me; do not prevent them.....

Then he embraced them and blessed them,

placing his hands on them.     Mark 10:14 & 16

My husband is holding the fetal model that is the same size as an unborn baby at 22 weeks in their mother's womb.                       

7th Month (25-28 Weeks)

This little baby boy or girl now recognizes his or her mother's voice. They exercise by stretching and kicking as they grow even bigger. They can use their senses of hearing, touch, and taste. They can even open their eyes and look around. If the baby is a boy, a son, this is when his testicles descend from the abdomen into the scrotum. What a miracle a new life is.

“Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor.” Saint Mother Teresa

“How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.” Saint Mother Teresa

8th Month (29-32 Weeks)
Now the baby's skin will thicken, with a layer of fat stored underneath. This helps with insulation and provides nourishment. He or she will swallow a gallon of amniotic fluid per day. The mom will be able to feel an elbow or heel, sometimes a little rear end, as her son or daughter kicks and moves in this cramped area.

“A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members: and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.” – Pope John Paul 11

9^th Month (33-36 Weeks)

He or she will gain one half pound per week, and they are getting ready for birth. The bones in his or her head are soft and flexible to more easily mold and go through the birth canal. Did you know that 90% of our development happens in the womb?!

Planned or unplanned, a baby is a baby.
