Back in the USA!



So we made it back safe and sound! We left the islands, from a VERY small plane. I kept asking Jason how big the plane was because I had never heard of the airline before. Sure enough, we were escorted out of the airport to the plane, which only seated about six people. I was so scared (don't really like to fly) and prayed the whole 30 minute flight that we would land safely. So then we had to sit in Puerto Rico for a bit and flew into Orlando through Tropical Storm Fay. That was a little rocky ride and landing. I was worried when we were landing that the plane was going to start sliding on the runway because there was so much water. Finally we had to drive back to Jacksonville through the storm, and that was not so fun either. I have to say it was all worth the trip down to St. John, and we hope to bring our daughter there very soon!

DID YOU KNOW a woman's brain shrinks during pregnancy?

Anita Holdcroft, an anesthesiologist at London's Royal Postgraduate Medical School, found that women's brain's shrink 3-5% during pregnancy. This may impact learning and memory. In cognitive tests, more than 70% of women had difficulty learning new information during their ninth month of pregnancy. Performances during pregnancy were 15-20% lower on spatial and verbal tests. Six months later, the brain, and scores, returned to normal. The pituitary gland increased in size during pregnancy.

DID YOU KNOW the youngest mother ever was a five year old girl in Peru named Lina Medina, who gave birth to a baby boy by C-section in May of 1939?
