National pro-life groups continue this week to follow the development of “Baby Chris” (see www.BabyChris.org). 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.

At this stage the unborn child’s heart has already beat 25.5 million times, and movement, breathing, and heart rate begin following daily rhythms.


Developmental Facts
The baby is now 11 inches in size; the head is the size of a small lemon.

The baby’s heart has beat over 25.5 million times!

Girls’ ovaries now contain their lifetime supply of eggs!

Melanin begins forming and helps create a wide variety of attractive skin tones.

Movement, breathing, and heart rate begin following daily rhythms. .

Prayers

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


The Daily Rhythm of Life

Lord of creation and life, From the beginning of time, You have established the rhythms of night and day, Of tides of the oceans, And of the marvels of the human body.

As we continue to learn about the development of unborn children, We see those rhythms reflected in each human body And each human life.

As we discover the plan you have laid out for our bodies, Teach us also the plan you have laid out for our souls:

A plan marked by love and compassion, And protection of the weakest and smallest among us.

As we learn more about the youngest children, Help us all to provide them the greatest protection.

We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
