Check out these 15 scientific facts about the 15 month old fetus...
1) All the major organs have formed.
2) The heart pumps 26 quarts of blood per day.
3) The heart has already beat approximately 15,800,000 times.
4) Each finger moves separately.
5) The fetus prefers sucking his left or right thumb.
6) The entire body responds to touch.
7) The fetus responds to taste.
8) The brain creates neurons at a rate of 250,000 per minute.
9) Brain connections formed at 15 weeks gestation last into adulthood.

But it also reminds us...
God has given us all a remarkable beginning in preparation for a lifetime of serving Him.
