Egyptian Election Results Still Being Tallied. Muslims deceptively claim victory.

Source: Egyptian Election: Islamist Victory - or Deceptive Strategy? by Raymond Ibrahim June 19, 2012 at 3:30 am http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3120/egyptian-election-islamist-victory Excerpt: ... At this moment, no one knows which candidate won. The race is close. In the meantime, even though it is naturally the business of every news bureau to "break the news" and not be left behind, it is counterproductive for the West to eat straight out of the Brotherhood's hands and unquestioningly disseminate its unsubstantiated information, as the Islamists would like: It works to their advantage."

In the first 6 weeks of pregnancy, the child's brain developes so there is a need for foods that promote that  e.g. green veggies.

During the first 6 months after delivery, the child's emotional development is founded.  The child needs to feel loved to have less issues as an adult.  Love at this stage is felt through touch.  So, carry the child a lot even when she is having tantrums.

At the end, I gave him a Rosary to use when he has some time. He showed me that he already packed one.
