<\/p>\n
Day 1<\/strong>: Here I am! I exist in the\u00a0 form of a single cell.\u00a0 I want to thank you. Thank you, Mom, that you want to be with me during these nine months that I will spend\u00a0 under your\u00a0 heart. Please, persever in your prayer. It will make it easier for me to grow and you will become my spiritual parent. Forever!<\/p>\n Day 2<\/strong>: I may be tiny but I am growing incredibly fast. I am now two\u00a0 identical cells, which are starting to divide. Between the 30th and 50th hour after fertilization, I look like a microscopic globe made of sixteen\u00a0 cells.<\/p>\n Day 3<\/strong>: Do you believe that I have a soul from the very beginning? I can connect with you every day. When you pray, we become spiritual friends.<\/p>\n Day 4<\/strong>: Biologists call me an embryo.\u00a0 I don’t like this name, how does it sound? Embryo. So strange! That’s true that I am small, but I was created as a human person from the beginning and I am one now! When I go out to see this world, I will speak about that. Thank you for being my spiritual parent.<\/p>\n Day 5<\/strong>: My mom doesn’t know about me yet. She doesn’t even feel that I exist. My weight is less than one gram and I am as tiny as the grain of a mustard. And I am moving to my mom’s womb just like a small grain. I will find my first home there.<\/p>\n Day 6<\/strong>: Thank you for praying. You will be my spiritual companion every day. You will see me developing and getting bigger and bigger. You will feel happy when you think of me in a few years when I will be three or five years old!<\/p>\n Day 7<\/strong>: I made it to my mom\u2019s uterus. Wow! This is my new home where I am going to grow. And a new home means even more changes. I wonder what will happen next?<\/p>\n Day 8<\/strong>: Please tell someone about me. Tell someone that I have many friends in the world who live inside their moms just like me. Some of them will not survive because their parents do not believe that they can love them and assure their well-being. If only they could understand their love is enough, it would change everything.<\/p>\n Day 9<\/strong>: Scientists have defined that I am no longer an ovum but a fetus. I feel relief. This word sounds much better. It means \u201cthe initial stage\u201d and I really am in the initial stage as a human being.<\/p>\n Day 10<\/strong>: My friend, can you imagine? I am now between 0.36 millimeters to almost one millimeter in\u00a0 length ! Even though I am tiny I am growing fast.<\/p>\n Day 11<\/strong>: My cells are filled with a liquid. They are dividing incredibly fast. Oh my! I now consist of almost 100 cells. \u201cBeing a small human\u201d – it sounds so wonderful.\u00a0 I am daydreaming again.<\/p>\n Day 12<\/strong>:\u00a0 How interesting! I am embedding in the uterus and dividing into two main parts. The first part is attached to the uterine wall and it will become a placenta in the future. Did you know that the placenta is an organ supplied with blood, which will soon give me the possibility to feed and take the best from my mom?<\/p>\n Day 13<\/strong>:\u00a0 I am the hero of a great process! Several layers of my cells are now being transformed into the so-called \u201cembryonic leaves.\u201d These are my own tiny tissues. My mom’s mucous membrane is growing and it covers me from the inside as a warm quilt. My new home is nice, isn’t it? You had a similar one too. Do you remember?<\/p>\n Day 14<\/strong>:\u00a0 I am alive! I do exist! Aren’t you the first person who knows about me? I feel love and I thank you for that.<\/p>\n Day 15<\/strong>: Tomorrow is a big day! I will surprise you!<\/p>\n Day 16<\/strong>: My heart started beating today! It\u2019s small, much smaller than yours. You will be able to hear my heartbeat at six weeks, when mom has an ultrasound .<\/p>\n Day 17<\/strong>: My shapes are forming. My body\u2019s curves are forming. Fascinating composition, right?<\/p>\n Day 18<\/strong>: Did you know that I\u2019m approximately 1.25 millimeters in length? My oval body elongates. I like myself more every day.<\/p>\n Day 19<\/strong>: You can notice the initial shape of my future head. It can be distinguished from the lower part of my body. I am so grateful for your care and the time you spend with me every day. Thank you for taking care of our spiritual friendship.<\/p>\n Day 20<\/strong>:\u00a0 I would like to invite you to a dinner today! I feed from the gastric pouch and the nutrients available on the uterine walls. What do you like to eat?<\/p>\n Day 21<\/strong>: I am growing very quickly,\u00a0 but I still weigh less than one gram.\u00a0 Imagine, I resemble an apple pip (seed).<\/p>\n Day 22<\/strong>: I can swim! I\u2019m moving around freely. The amniotic fluid protects me from injuries.\u00a0 It works exactly like the car’s dampers (shock absorbers).<\/p>\n Day 23<\/strong>: Here we are together during one of the most important moments of my growth.\u00a0 This is time when my organs start to form. My hand and leg buds appear.<\/p>\n Day 24<\/strong>:\u00a0 You can clearly see the contours of my head and body. I have my inner ears, eyes and tongue.<\/p>\n Day 25<\/strong>: My body weight increased 10,000 times. Did you know that I have a spinal cord now? The junctions between my brain and spinal cord are now formed, and my heart is as big as a poppy seed.<\/p>\n Day 26<\/strong>: My friend, did you know that I am now two to four millimeters in length? It’s hard to believe that such a tiny and thin organism as mine has a brain. Look, my body might resemble a small tail.<\/p>\n Day 27<\/strong>: The blood starts to circulate in my body. I have my own circulatory system! Did you know that my mom’s blood will never mix with mine?<\/p>\n Day 28<\/strong>: My parents do not know my sex yet, but I do. This information was encrypted in my genetic code from the very beginning. I will grow to be a courageous boy.<\/p>\n Day 29<\/strong>: I have two brain hemispheres! Did you know that this week is crucial for my development? My inner organs (though still tiny) are now forming into their final shapes.<\/p>\n Day 30<\/strong>: I have a small oral cavity, my jaws start to form along with my nose and sense of smell. Those who see me as a small \u201ctail\u201d can now notice that my shape is changing and becoming more human-like in appearance. I am a girl and I want to look great. (I am a boy)<\/span><\/p>\n Day 31<\/strong>:\u00a0 Can you see my primordial eyes and ears? These small dots on both sides of my head form retina – my future eyes. I can’t wait until I see my mom and dad.<\/p>\n Day 32<\/strong>: Did you know that in my tiny limbs there are now cartilages? My legs and arms are getting longer. Soon, I will be able to communicate with my mom by waving hands and legs!<\/p>\n Day 33<\/strong>: My body range now resembles a bean. I am four to five millimeters in length.<\/p>\n Day 34<\/strong>: Please pray for me today so I can grow strong \u2013 not only my body, but also my soul. You make my soul breathe happily.\u00a0 By the way, today my body starts to develop the respiratory system.\u00a0 I already have a pleura.<\/p>\n Day 35<\/strong>: Oh, I now have a liver, pancreas and a stomach.\u00a0 Please, pray for my mom.\u00a0 I would like her to keep away from everything that could hurt me.<\/p>\n Day 36<\/strong>: My face is forming; my jaw and\u00a0 nose remind me of yours.\u00a0 I have a tongue! You can see the tip of my nose.\u00a0 Look! I am not lifting up my head at all; it still rests on my chest.<\/p>\n Day 37<\/strong>: My jaw still is forming, as well as the dental plaque. Woohoo! When I grow up, I am going to smile all the time.<\/p>\n Day 38<\/strong>: That\u2019s a formation of the optic nerve! For eight days my eyes and also my inner ear structures are forming.\u00a0 These will be responsible for the senses of hearing and balance.\u00a0 Just imagine, I will be able to admire this wonderful world and walk over the balance beam at the playground.<\/p>\n Day 39<\/strong>: Imagine a raspberry. And now think of me. My body is exactly as big as a raspberry now. My weight is approximately one gram and I am 14 to 20 millimeters in length!<\/p>\n Day 40<\/strong>: When my mom walks, her amniotic waters rock me nicely.\u00a0 I can move around and I like it more and more.<\/p>\n Day 41<\/strong>: My spinal cord is forming. My arms and legs are getting longer.\u00a0 Soon, I will be able to\u00a0 reach out to my parents, feel their closeness and hug them.<\/p>\n Day 42<\/strong>: Hey, what\u2019s up?\u00a0 I am constantly changing! Can\u2019t catch up! My kidneys are forming. When I grow up approximately 1,500 liters of blood will be filtered through them every day. Can you imagine that there are almost one million tiny filters to clean my blood?<\/p>\n Day 43<\/strong>: My brain grew big enough so I can start using it. I wonder what talents I will develop?<\/p>\n Day 44<\/strong>: My eyes and eyelids are forming. I already have retinae and eye lenses, and my optic nerves are already functioning. Can you imagine?<\/p>\n Day 45<\/strong>: Here are my thyroid and the first muscles. Oh, and my arms now bend because\u00a0 I have elbows.\u00a0 Fingers are forming on my hands and toes on my feet. Look how fast I am growing. Do you think I am pretty? Thank you for staying with me.<\/p>\n Day 46<\/strong>: You have a reason to be happy! I am growing up faster. My weight is three grams and I am two to three centimeters tall. Celebrate this fact today by telling the first person you meet about me, please!<\/p>\n Day 47<\/strong>: What\u00a0 do you think? Which\u00a0 fruit is comparable to my body size? Let me share with you that I am the size of a cherry.<\/p>\n Day 48<\/strong>: Hooray! Amazing! My parents can see my moves today by doing sonography!<\/p>\n Day 49<\/strong>: There is a small tube in my body now allowing me to pee.<\/p>\n Day 50<\/strong>: Look! My head straightens up. Can you see the earlobes and the shape of my nose?<\/p>\n Day 51<\/strong>: Here they are, my palate and the first 10 teeth germs.<\/p>\n Day 52<\/strong>:\u00a0 Thanks to you, I am so big already, the size of\u00a0 a walnut shell.\u00a0 Thank you for allowing me to grow to five grams. I am 31 to 43 millimeters tall.<\/p>\n Day 53<\/strong>: Did you know that my eyes have\u00a0 eyelids? I am dreaming that one day I will be able to admire beautiful landscapes with my parents.<\/p>\n Day 54<\/strong>: Look at my hands and feet. My thumb and the index finger are growing apart.<\/p>\n Day 55<\/strong>: It\u2019s extraordinary! My heart splits into right and left parts and beats above 110-150 times per minute. My parents can hear it during the Doppler echocardiography.<\/p>\n Day 56<\/strong>: Heeeeey, are you there? Are you happy?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Day 57<\/strong>: I am looking more and more like a human! Even those who are in doubt will find proofs that I am no longer an embryo. I am a fetus – this is what\u00a0 biologists call me now. But if you ask me, I am a human since the very beginning. My face is getting well-rounded, can you see it?<\/p>\n Day 58<\/strong>: Taste and smell organs begin to form. The eyelids cover my eyes completely.\u00a0 Let me brag a bit. I can now suck and swallow. I can\u2019t wait until I eat my first dessert!<\/p>\n Day 59<\/strong>:\u00a0 Hey there! Are you with me? Time to wake up! I can yawn now, too!<\/p>\n Day 60<\/strong>:\u00a0 I am big enough so that you can compare my body to a plum. I am four to six centimeters\u00a0 tall and my weight is eight grams. One can distinguish my genitals. The testicles started producing testosterone.<\/p>\n Day 61<\/strong>: Tadaaa! You are taking part in the crucial moment of my development.\u00a0 My liver, bowels, kidneys, brain and lungs are now completely formed and start functioning. They will be growing bigger in coming weeks and months. Please convince a person you meet today that I am a human being since I was conceived.<\/p>\n Day 62<\/strong>: My heart beats from 110 to 160 times per minute.\u00a0 Please, pray today for my mom. Her emotions influence the rate of my heartbeat. The way she feels impacts my calmness.<\/p>\n Day 63<\/strong>: Mom feels better today, so I am calm as well. Will you have some time to spiritually accompany me today? Thank you for your presence in my life.<\/p>\n Day 64<\/strong>: I become calmer and spontaneous. I like turning my head, wiggling my arms and legs.\u00a0 I explore the world around me. It is a pity that my mom cannot reveal how great I feel inside her belly.<\/p>\n Day 65<\/strong>: I am fully shaped. My inner organs, especially my brain are still developing. My bones are getting harder. My pituitary gland started producing hormones. It\u2019s fascinating! Thank you for your persistence in prayer and the sacrifices you make for me.<\/p>\n Day 66<\/strong>: Under my milk teeth there are the germs of my permanent teeth.\u00a0 Hurray! I also have the hair roots and nails. My fingers and toes get separated.<\/p>\n Day 67<\/strong>: I gained some weight! My weight is 8 to 14 grams.\u00a0 My body length is now around six centimeters. I am as big as a lime. I learned how to smile, crinkle my brow and suck my thumb.<\/p>\n Day 68<\/strong>: And now my blood is no longer mixed with my mom\u2019s blood. My liver is so big that it starts producing blood cells. My pancreas also has glands. When I grow up, I will prepare a meal for my parents!<\/p>\n Day 69<\/strong>: My vocal cords are forming. Sing me a lullaby, please!<\/p>\n Day 70<\/strong>: Did you know that my digestive system is able to absorb glucose?\u00a0 The umbilical cord nourishes me and carries away toxic substances of metabolism.\u00a0 Thank you, my friend, for the gift of your prayer. I am honored by having a soul mate in you.<\/p>\n Day 71<\/strong>: Let me surprise you!\u00a0 90% of my body is composed of water.<\/p>\n Day 72<\/strong>:\u00a0 I can hear my mom\u2019s voice. I even heard some music today. My mommy listened to a violin concert. You might be surprised that my ears will be fully formed in ten weeks. I can hear because I feel the vibrations approaching my skin.<\/p>\n Day 73<\/strong>: I also have my first bones! My pelvis and ribs are forming. I could not survive outside my mom\u2019s body because my lungs are not mature yet. Thanks for cheering me every day.<\/p>\n Day 74<\/strong>: My nostrils are clearing. My eyes move towards the nose and the ears move to the sides of my head. I can turn my head around! Oh, how great it will be to run around the meadow and smell flowers! Do you like how grass smells in spring?<\/p>\n Day 75<\/strong>: My bowels are too long to fit into my stomach so they escape into the umbilical cord. My liver starts producing gall and the pancreas produces insulin.<\/p>\n Day 76<\/strong>: The weight of my tiny organism is 13 to 20 grams. I am 65 to 78 centimeters in length. My body is almost as big as a peach.<\/p>\n Day 77<\/strong>:\u00a0 Please, pray for my daddy today. He needs attention, care and your prayer, too.<\/p>\n Day 78<\/strong>: Adventure ahead! My development progresses quickly. The placenta nourishes me, produces hormones and supplies oxygen and other necessary substances to me. Blood cells are produced by the bone marrow.<\/p>\n Day 79<\/strong>: I move gracefully. My moves are smoother now!<\/p>\n Day 80<\/strong>: Now I know how I will pee!<\/p>\n Day 81<\/strong>: I am preparing to live outside the uterus! I practice breathing. My weight is almost 25 grams and I am the size of\u00a0 a lemon.<\/p>\n Day 82<\/strong>:\u00a0 My body length now is 80 to 90 centimeters\u00a0 and my eyes will now stay in the same place.<\/p>\n Day 83<\/strong>: The placenta (this\u00a0 is my current home) is finally formed by now. What is your favorite place to rest?<\/p>\n Day 84<\/strong>: Do you realize that you strengthen my parents\u2019 feeling of conscious parenthood every time you pray? They are and want to be good parents. Please, help them with your prayer today.<\/p>\n Day 85<\/strong>: Dance with me! \u201cHead and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes\u2026\u201d My fingers bend towards my palm. I can move and bend my wrists, hands, legs and knees; my joints start functioning.<\/p>\n Day 86<\/strong>: A special pigment appeared in my skin – melanin. You can easily observe my ribs, blood vessels and the\u00a0 retinae in my eyes. My skin is\u00a0 covered with a very thin hair that helps regulate\u00a0 my body temperature.<\/p>\n Day 87<\/strong>: Thank you for praying. I grew up to 104 to 114 centimeters. You can compare my size with an onion.<\/p>\n Day 88<\/strong>:\u00a0 I am able to open my mouth widely and close it. I know how to suck my\u00a0 thumb.\u00a0 I am such a talented baby! What did you learn recently?<\/p>\n Day 89<\/strong>: Tiny bones in my inner ear are hardening but I can feel the sound waves thanks to the amniotic fluid where I live and move.<\/p>\n Day 90<\/strong>:\u00a0 Voil\u00e0! My bowels are operational. They started absorbing and producing the first digestive enzymes.<\/p>\n Day 91<\/strong>:\u00a0 Is there someone around you who does not know about the power of our spiritual friendship and\u00a0 prayer?\u00a0 Please, tell them about me.<\/p>\n Day 92<\/strong>: Look how strong I am! I can hold my head up. Imagine how I move my eyes and crinkle my eyebrows.<\/p>\n Day 93<\/strong>: If someone gives you an apple this week, think that it is as big as I am. Please tell that person about me.<\/p>\n Day 94<\/strong>: My legs are now longer than my arms.\u00a0 My bones have formed, they are getting harder and absorb calcium.<\/p>\n Day 95<\/strong>: I can wriggle and kick. The touch receptors appear in my skin. I am a strong girl! (I am a strong boy!). My mom has just learned that I am a girl (I am a boy) \u2013 thanks to the ultrasound scan.<\/span><\/p>\n Day 96<\/strong>: It is amazing, my weight is 80 grams now.\u00a0 Did you know that my tiny body is 108 to 116 millimeters\u00a0 long?<\/p>\n Day 97<\/strong>: My bowels return back to my stomach. Now they fit in! And my thyroid has just started producing\u00a0 hormones.<\/p>\n Day 98<\/strong>: Breaking news: the conjunctions between my organs are forming, so my organs will be able to cooperate.<\/p>\n Day 99<\/strong>: Wow! My electrocardiogram is similar to one of an adult.<\/p>\n Day 100<\/strong>: The amniotic fluids get into my lungs and are pushed out.<\/p>\n Day 101<\/strong>: I have grown up two centimeters\u00a0 and my body weight has increased by 20 grams. It is now around 100 grams.\u00a0 I am now 11 to 12 centimeters in length, just like a big potato.<\/p>\n Day 102<\/strong>: Did you know that my heart pumps up to 24 liters of blood in a day?<\/p>\n Day 103<\/strong>: The shape of my head is now more proportional compared to other parts of my body. I like myself! When I grow up, I would like to fall in love one day.<\/p>\n Day 104<\/strong>: I can hear some sounds from the outside. When I hear something scary, I react sharply. Just like now, ouch!<\/p>\n Day 105<\/strong>: I have a chance to become a little fat baby as some fat accumulates under my skin. It is a source of warmth and energy.<\/p>\n Day 106<\/strong>: Intensive training time! I spin around, kick and wave my arms. This is how I train my reactions.<\/p>\n Day 107<\/strong>: My lungs are getting bigger. Air bubbles appear inside them.<\/p>\n Day 108<\/strong>: My fingertips are forming with unique, unrepeatable prints. That reminds me that there is only one like me, and that\u2019s me! Unique!<\/p>\n Day 109<\/strong>:\u00a0 The first feces forms in my bowels. And the prostate is developing.\u00a0Day 110: My mom just felt how I move. The amniotic fluids help my dances. Lambada!<\/p>\n Day 111<\/strong>: My body weight is about 150 grams and I am 12.5 to 14 centimeters in length. I am as big as an avocado.<\/p>\n Day 112<\/strong>: Though my eyes are closed and covered by the eyelids, my retina is sensitive to light. Thank you, my dear Friend, for accompanying me in spiritual unity!<\/p>\n Day 113<\/strong>: Let me invite you to SPA today! My skin glands produce a fat substance of a white color. It is a vernix that protects my skin from soaking in the amniotic fluid.<\/p>\n Day 114<\/strong>: A difficult word: \u201cmyelin\u201d! Do you know what that is? It\u2019s a fat-based substance that insulates nerve fibers. The nerve impulses in my body can be transmitted much faster because of that. That\u2019s why I am fit, quick and my moves are smooth.<\/p>\n Day 115<\/strong>: I am so hungry! Will you eat lunch with me today? My digestive system starts to produce enzymes. They help in getting rid of the amniotic fluid and filtering it with my kidneys before it gets back to the amniotic sack.\u00a0 The appendix forms in my bowels.<\/p>\n Day 116<\/strong>: Did you know that the net of blood vessels is visible under my skin?<\/p>\n Day 117<\/strong>: The amnion (in which I swim dynamically) contains approximately 250 cm3\u00a0<\/sup>of amniotic fluid. Would you like to swim with me?<\/p>\n Day 118<\/strong>: It is fascinating that I am so tiny and light but I consist of so many organs and systems.\u00a0 Life is a miracle! You must know that your prayer helps me a lot.\u00a0 I am still in awe of my mommy\u2019s belly world.<\/p>\n Day 119<\/strong>: My weight is 200 grams and I am 13 to 15 centimeters in length. When you see an orange, think of me because I am exactly that size now!<\/p>\n Day 120<\/strong>:\u00a0 Listen to my heartbeat today. It\u2019s stronger every day. One day I\u2019ll probably run a marathon.<\/p>\n Day 121<\/strong>: Today I noticed some interesting lines on my hands. These are my fingerprints. They are unique just like all of me!<\/p>\n Day 122<\/strong>:\u00a0 My body reminds me of a pomegranate fruit. That means I am 14 to 16 centimeters in length and my weight is approximately 225 grams.<\/p>\n Day 123<\/strong>: My brain cells stopped dividing. There are 12 to 14 billion of them.\u00a0 The conjunctions between them are complicated. Thanks to them I will be able to remember things and think analytically. I will surprise everyone with how wise I am when I grow up.<\/p>\n Day 124<\/strong>: Hey, Mom! I can hear you! I recognize Daddy\u2019s voice and some other sounds.\u00a0 More senses such as taste, smell, touch and sight also are developing.<\/p>\n Day 125<\/strong>:
