Just 22 days after conception a human embryo’s heart begins beating. The little heart will beat nearly 54 million times before he or she is born!
By 6 weeks plus 2 days after conception the brain waves of an unborn child can be recorded by EEG (electroencephalogram).
At just 10 weeks after conception nails and fingerprints begin to emerge in patterns that will uniquely identify a child throughout his or her entire life.
At 9 weeks after conception unborn children begin thumb-sucking. Between 12 and 16 weeks they often touch their mouths, up to 50 times an hour. Teeth start to grow by 13 weeks. Beginning at 14 weeks developmental differences between boys and girls begin to appear: female fetuses move their mouths much more frequently than males.

March is dedicated to St. Joseph
Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Matthew 1:20b-21 RSV Oh,
St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the
throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph,
do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your
divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So
that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I
never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not
approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him close in my name and
kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me. .
