Here is a tid-bit of information for you:

By the fourth week of pregnancy, the fetal brain is developing 500,000 new neurons every minute!
Do you think there is some serious growing there?

Ah this is amazing stuff. It's truly something. If only they taught more about the splendor of life.

Wow! :speachless:

This reminds me of an article I read once on the shared DNA between the mother and the child. I believe the mother may bear some of the child's with her, her entire life, and that it can alter her own DNA.

...

Very interesting! It'll start all of us who've born children to re-think how we might have changed. Also how that effects the mother when she has multiple children.

Yes, it's very thought provoking, in so many ways.

I wish I could find the original article, and find some other articles that might deal with the subject too.

Perhaps I will find it while I am organizing my files.

I was thinking how close the bond between Our Lord and His blessed mother must have been.
Both sharing the same spotless flesh and DNA.

Our Lord must have been the masculine replica of his blessed mother according to the flesh.

Yes.. and..

I like the way you put that.. that last piece.. it's thought provoking..

I do too.

What an honor for Our Lady ! Something for Protestants to ponder over.

I also read somewhere that Our Lord greatly resembled St. Joseph though there was no blood relationship there.

Our Lord truly loves St. Joseph and his ancestors!  :D

I was reading recently some history of St James the apostle and apparently (being Our Lords cousin) He resembled the Lord so much in his countenance and demeanor that he was often mistaken for the Lord after the resurection. He also possesed a meekness and humility that was likened to Our Lords.
