Thanks to the SPUC news service for this item. Someone has invented the "Kickbee" which will transmit signals from unborn baby to Facebook such as "I kicked Mummy at 11.38am." Although this is a striking reminder of the humanity of the unborn child and therefore important, those of us who agree anyway on the humanity of the unborn child might be able also to see that it is a little amusing as well.It struck me that the Facebooking pre-borns need to be careful of some agencies that might foist on them the faintly Jansenist requirements of modern sacramental preparation. They could be pestered to join a Facebook group for lectionary-based pre-baptismal catechesis if they are not careful. Then I suppose us trads could counter that with subliminal recordings of the old Mass so that on birth, they could answer up "Ad Deum qui laetificat iuventutem meam" or reach for a mantilla, depending.

I would have died for one of these! Can you imagine I would have been connected to the computer 24/7! Just as well they didn't have them..as I would have been attached to my PC for about 15 years! lol
Heheheheheh... I like the idea of subliminal recordings of the old Mass... surely we can try that one anyway!!!

I have less than a month to go now until Number Five is due and I need no monitors, Father! As I type, I can see - as well as feel, of course - little limbs kicking and stretching out all over the place. I can see how the monitor could be a comfort, though. When carrying the twins, I could feel twin 1 kicking a lot but not twin 2 and of course with twins, one tends to compare one with the other, which led me to worry about twin 2. It was just that his placenta was protecting me fro much of the impact but there were times when a monitor would have been reassuring.
