“I had a dream!”  Your baby’s brain has begun maturing – a process that will continue until she is about 14 years old.  Her eyelids are now sealed and will re-open at 7 months.  Her taste buds are now working.  Nutrients consumed by her mother are passed on to her within an hour or two.  Three hundred quarts of fluid a day are sent to the baby via the umbilical cord.  Fine hair begins to grow on head, eyebrows and eyelashes.  Facial expressions similar to parents of the baby can be seen at this time.   This month REMS (rapid eye movements) have been recorded – a sign of dreaming.  Your baby is now about 9 inches in length.  Thank you for praying!


  
Each month on the weekends of the Teen Masses, our teens will remind us of the blessed gift of life God gives as they display how your child is growing and changing.  Check the community room and bulletin for monthly reminders.  We ask you to remember your Spiritually Adopted baby, and all babies at risk, in your daily prayers throughout the 9 months.   

Please feel free to take a “Teddy Bear” or “Heart” from our poster to bring home as a reminder of your commitment to pray for your baby.  You may want to name your baby and write the name on your heart or bear.

The SPARK TAB Teens thank you for your willingness to share your love, prayers and gifts, so we may grow in our respect of all life from our Heavenly Father, from conception to natural death.
