Happy 4th of July





This is a special day to celebrate or commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

My family is not doing something special for today. No fireworks popping nor barbecue. We had a very long day yesterday as we visited the Aquarium in New Orleans. Everybody is still tired and just want to relax.

Have a great July 4th weekend to ya'll.

I know it's not my own business but as a human as well and a dweller of this planet, smokes does affect me and my baby. See the difference between two fetus' brains. Equivalent brain slices from two study subjects of the same sex and age. The image on the reader's left is from a subject who was exposed to alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine and marijuana during the prenatal period while the image on right is from a control subject who had none of these prenatal exposures.

But studies are showing that a delivery even two weeks early can be associated with newborn complications, according to Dr. Celeste Durnwald, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at The Ohio State University Medical Center. “There is still ongoing development and maturation of the fetus, even in those last few weeks,” notes Durnwald.
