Your baby's arms, hands, fingers, feet and toes are fully formed. (S)he can open and close fists and mouth. Fingernails and toenails are beginning to develope, and the external ears are formed. The beginnings of teeth are also forming. Your baby's reproductive organs are also developed, but your baby's gender is difficult to distinguish on ultrasound. By the end of the third month, your percious baby is fully formed. All his/her organs and extremities are present and will continue to mature in order to become functional. The circulatory and urinary systems are working and the liver produces bile. At the end of the third month, your baby is about four inches long and weighs about one ounce. Since your baby's most critical development has taken place, your chance of miscarriage drops considerably after three months in the womb. Please continue to pray for your spiritually-adopted baby.

Making rosaries is a wonderful ministry. It's fun and easy. The rosaries that are made by our members are shipped all over the world. It gives us great pride in knowing that people in foreign lands welcome these rosaries as sometimes their only possession. They wear them around their neck in order to keep them. We almost always get letters in return saying how welcome they are and "please, please send more." This ministry cannot continue without volunteer rosary makers. We meet every Thursday in a classroom after morning Mass until 11:00 a.m. The time goes fast, and each week we have a different mix of people so conversation is lively and laughs are plentiful. Please consider joining us. Call Marge Newburn at 922-9047 for details.
