What Season Where You Born In (Part 1)
1. Affects Your Neurotransmitters
The season in which you were born can greatly influence your neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin at birth, which can carry into adult life. These neurotransmitters are responsible for your mood.

2. Spring Babies
Babies that are born in the spring tend to have what is called a hyperthymic temperment which is the tendency to be positive.

Summer Babies
Those babies born in the summer months were also hyperthymic but also cyclothymic, which contributes to mood swings. So while these people tend to be positive, they also swing between being positive and experiencing negative feelings or having a negative outlook.

3. Fall Babies
Babies born during the autumn months tend to be more depressive than bbies born in all the other months, and surprisingly that includes the winter months.

4. Winter Babies
The most shocking findings were that of the winter babies temperament. These people experienced the least irritable moods of all the seasonal births.

5. Foods And Nutrients
One of the reasons that the season of you birth may affect your overal temperament is the available foods at that time of year. A baby born in the spring and summer has a wide array of fruits and vegetables available in most states, whiel those born in winter experience “out of season” fruits and vegetables. This affects the nutrients that the babies are getting and can having a lasting effect on mood.

6. Seasonal Affective Disorder
It is said that seasonal affective disorder is linked to a polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene. Serotonin is responsible for keeping us happy. Those who suffer from depression are lacking serotonin in the brain, which anti-depressants address by prohibiting the uptake receptors from removing serotonin from the brain.

7. Timing
Studies show that babies born in January are typically born to unwed or poor parents, typically teens, suggesting that January falls 9 months after prom season. These babies are born into a darker world all around. Daylight hours are fewer, finances are an issue, and healthy fruits and vegetables are not as available during these months. In contrast, babies born in the winter months are typically born bigger and stronger than their warm weather counterparts. The reason? Mom was able to eat more nutritionally with rich fruits and vegetables being in abundance.

You’ll never find a dog like Pig, she is a one-in-a-million kind of canine. She was found in the woods near Atlanta, abandoned by her feral mother.

The veterinarian who looked her over at first recommended putting the monstrous puppy down. When Kim Dillenbeck heard about the deformed puppy, she had to see her for herself.

Kim had rescued animals before, but never a dog like Pig. Without her adoptive mother’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to survive.

Pig was found alone in the woods.

Without intervention, this unique puppy would have died.

There’s something different about Pig…

Her spinal cord that divides into two separate cords at her neck.

But even though she has severe deformities, she might just be okay in her new, loving home.

She won’t be able to gain much weight.

However, with enough attention and love, Pig will be just fine.

She knows how lucky she is!

What Kim did for Pig was an incredible kindness; she single-handedly saved this special dog who would have otherwise been euthanized.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Appearances can be deceiving. Kim discovered what a wonderful creature Pig is, and she wouldn’t have if she would have passed her by.

She wasn’t quite sure what to think at first…

Grown men have fainted from the sight of childbirth, unable to witness the miracle of life. It is a shocking thing to see, sometimes. Births can be messy and ugly, but totally worth it in order to bring life into the world. This little girl, however, had an incredible reaction when she watched a video of her own birth.
Instead of recoiling with fear or revulsion, she was overcome with happiness and gratitude. It’s unbelievable how she reacts.

But then she saw herself.

“I’m so cute!”

Not everyone would have this kind of reaction.

Life is truly a miracle and even this little girl knows it.

To see her full reaction to the birth, watch this video:

Jenna and Jillian, born premature at 33 weeks and 2 days, were holding hands when they entered this world.

Recently, the Akron Beacon Journal, a publication in Ohio, announced the birth of two healthy twins (and twins aren’t that rare). Approximately 1 in 285 babies is a twin. What was rare, though, was that the twins were formed in such a way where they shared the same amniotic sac and placenta.
The rare babies are known as “monoamniotic twins” and are the rarest type of twins. When pregnant with mono twins, there are risks, including birth defects and tangled umbilical cords that might kill a twin. However, these two girls were born healthy… and doing something adorable.

They stunned everyone in the hospital room.

Their mother, Sarah Thistlethwaite, delivered the twins after spending 57 days in bed.

The middle school teacher was once told she wouldn’t be able to have kids, but now she has her twins and a little boy.

The babies were delivered by Caesarean section at Akron General Medical Center.

These little girls are precious miracles, but as it turns out, they won’t be the only mono mono twins in the hospital. As rare as the event is, another patient named Amanda Arnold is set to give birth to mono mono twins this week.
