As I've posted previously, I love seeing the uniqueness of the pins I receive. I've often wondered how the size of a safety or diaper pin might compare with the size of a baby in the womb.
Information from Heritage House helped me complete this chart below showing sizes of babies in the first trimester. I used various safety pins to better visualize these baby measurements.
The baby pictured above has the look, weight, and tender feel of an unborn child. A 12 week old baby in the womb would measure 3 inches in length and weigh 2 oz. At this age, the baby would have every organ present, including a beating heart, the ability to make facial expressions, even smiling, be able to feel and respond to skin stimulation, and have detectable brain activity.
"I praise God because
I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful. I know that full well."
Psalm 139:14
Wow, that's crazy! Great post
