I feel so lucky to have had two of my grandmas around well into adulthood. The American Grandparents Association also discovered 72% of those studied stated being a grandparent is the most important and rewarding experience of their life 🥹 (thumbnail of Florence in gifted Myavo stroller by @graco_uk). #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting #momtomom #grandmother #grandparents #over70 #study #research #relatable #toddler

Just thinking about the fact Emma Wren Gibson was Just thinking about the fact Emma Wren Gibson was frozen as an embryo in 1992 and was born in 2017 to a mother born in 1991! Wow 🤩 . Science is incredible ⭐! More details: a baby who was frozen as an embryo for more than two decades was born to a woman in 2017. The embryo was cryopreserved for 24 and a half years, making it the longest ever frozen embryo to be successfully born, according to the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library. Emma Wren was born on 25 November to Tina Gibson, 26, from East Tennessee. As an embryo, she was frozen on 14 October, 1992, about 18 months after Mrs Gibson was born. #factsdaily #facts #baby #embryo #newborn #newborngirl #research #science #newborns #ivf #momlife #didyouknow
A mother’s genetics determines how clever her ch A mother’s genetics determines how clever her children are, according to researchers, and the father makes no difference. Women are more likely to transmit intelligence genes to their children because they are carried on the X chromosome and women have two of these, while men only have one. Despite taking into account several factors, from the participants education to their socio-economic status and beyond, the team still found the best predictor of intelligence was the IQ of the mother. #study #research #dad #iq #intelligence #didyouknow #factsdaily #facts #motheranddaughtertime #momanddaughter #momofthree #girlmom #boymom #science
