Eighth Day

Together with the cross, I see on Your breast, O Infant Jesus, a little golden heart. It is the image of your Heart, which is truly golden on account of its infinite tenderness. You are the true friend, that generously gives Himself, even immolates Himself, for the one he loves. Continue to pour out on me. O Jesus, the enthusiasm which Your love inspires and teach me to respond always to Your great love.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be to the Father.

A Sat afternoon @ mummy's office

Celeste & Mark came to my office for about 2 hrs. Honestly it was quite all right because they didn't make a lot noise. They played with colleague & watched Youtube (Spiderman & Barbie).They love mummy office because there are a lot TVs. I hope nobody will complain to my boss on Monday.

(borrowed my banana's blog. she is much better than me).

Mark is having a cozy time with banana.

O! Sweet Infant Jesus, here at Your feet is a soul that, concious of its nothingness, turns to You, who are all. I have so much need of Your help. Look on me. O! Jesus, with love & since You are all powerful, help me in my poverty.

What is amniocentesis?

Amniocentesis is a specialised test that involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid from your womb and examining it in the laboratory to see whether your baby has any serious abnormalities. It is a diagnostic test, which means that it can tell you with almost complete certainty whether or not your baby has got a particular condition. Amniocentesis is one of the most remarkable technological advances in monitoring pregnancy. As well as diagnosing chromosomal abnormalities, it can also tell you whether your baby's lungs are mature and the sex of your baby.

What kinds of abnormalities can it detect?

The test can identify several hundred genetic disorders,including some of the most common.
It can detect:
• Chromosomal disorders such as Down's syndrome, trisomy 18 & Edward's syndrome.

• Neural tube defects such as spina bifida & anencephaly.

• It can also reveal whether the mother or baby is RH-negative, and whether the baby's lungs are mature enough for him to be born if a caesarean section is being considered.

• It doesn't detect every kind of abnormality, for example, it can't tell you whether your baby has a cleft lip or palate.

Cecilia's work

Mark's great work

I added the dinosaur outline for Mark. he used two hands with two color pens to "draw". His work is kina 'Abstract Arts".

Celeste's great work

I think celeste has got the genes in arts. U can see that the drawing is precise & clear-cut. she finished the outline of the face with one single stroke, the same for the mouth & the nose. I am impressed. She's been showing great potential in coloring & drawing.
