Just because I share my research & experience based opinions with you doesn't mean I expect you to follow through with what I'd do in your situation . . . but I do hope that more folks out there would start making informed decisions about their birth and the caring of their children. I mean, really, how many moms out there can tell you what their kids are even vaccinated against? much less, what's in those vaccines?
I hear so many people saying things like.... "well my doctor said....." - I cringe over how much trust people put in their doctors to give them all the information needed to make a decision or to even make the decision for them . . . like . . . inducing at 39 weeks. Or... .how about the scare tactics of . . . going past your due date puts your baby at risk?! At risk of what? Proper brain & lung development?
So I'm a lil heated tonight.... after congregating with some of my fellow Doulas in the area, boy do we have fun; Between sharing birth stories about moms worrying themselves sick over the possibilty of pooping themselves in front of someone during labor and then when it really happens not giving a hoot who saw it... or how about..practically moaning our client's baby out ourselves - We are a riot. THANK YOU M.H. for sharing such awesome birth stories! Laughing with friends is sooooooo wonderful!
Now, if only I hadn't had to come home to an empty house . . . It's just me and my Brooke Lou til Satuday. Reese travelled back to the hometown with her Daddy to catch up on some corn planting after getting rained out two weekends in a row. Brooke and I are venturing over Saturday to pitch in (if you consider bringing ice cold Mtn. Dews down to the field for the boys "pitching in".). We'd head over tomorrow if I didn't have 3 weeks worth of recycling spilling out of the bins in the kitchen, but... its all saved... oh... 3 bags of trash from going in the landfill?! Getting crunchier by the day . . .
Adding another book to my wish list.... I've heard nothing but good things so far from friends . . . I don't think we quite need it, but it couldn't hurt, right? Or maybe I need the Toddler version? Yeah, that could be it.... I really do think Brooke sleeps better than Reese. Of course, last night we ended up with both of em in bed with us... crammed between us in our queen size...
I'm really looking forward to getting some sewing done tomorrow.... I really need to get things going again on the shop, I seem to go in spurts there, too. Things just come up, get me off schedule, and it's really difficult to get back on with 2 lil ones and all our travelling. I also need to get some reading and charts and things done for some clients..... There's always plenty of questions that can be asked and lots to learn when trying to answer them.
