A little GIRL?!??!

We just had our ultrasound today. Our active little one was moving and grooving...very busy already!

The tech thinks is it a girl...but we didn't get a very good shot. Our modest little one had her/his legs crossed...then would open the legs and put her/his hand over the spot we needed to see!

It was actually pretty funny :-) Micah really wanted to know the sex and I kind of wanted to be surprised, so this works out.

It could be a girl! Or a boy! We will just wait and see.

Most importantly, baby is healthy and active and modest :-)


I'm in love!

Why Vaccines need to be taken more seriously...

Twins Die Minutes after Measles Vaccination

Posted By Dr. Mercola | October 13 2010 | 73,930 view

Nine-month-old twins in Ghaziabad, India reportedly died within minutes of receiving a measles vaccine.

Avika and Anika Sharma were given the vaccinations at a private nursing home by Dr. Satyaveer Singh. Within about 15 minutes, both little girls were dead.

Dr. Singh disappeared shortly after the incident, which is under investigation.

According to Indian MSN News:

"The Indian Medical Association's local president Dr Santosh Aggrawal, who visited the hospital after the incident, confirmed that the health of the twins deteriorated after being administered the vaccine.

"The doctor had a fresh supply of the vaccine. Still there could be something wrong with the batch of vaccines. Similar deaths have been reported from Kanpur and Lucknow," he added."

In related news, Australia is having vaccine problems of its own, as officials recently confirmed that the seasonal flu vaccine, Fluvax, caused convulsions in 99 children. The rate of seizures was 50 times higher than would ordinarily be expected with a vaccine.




*** I know this is in another country, but it doesn't scare me any less. Parents MUST become more educated on what they are injecting into their precious little babies. There are SO many excellent books and ways to selectively vaccinate or post-pone vaccinations till children have more mature immune systems.


Don't follow blindly...do your RESEARCH!

Mason & Locke: Best Buds!

Mason has a new best friend named Locke. He is 3 1/2, while Mason is 21 months. Locke is such a trooper, in that even though Mason still can't say many words, they still have fun and communicate in their own way. Locke got this sweet new ride and the boys had a blast driving up and down the street!
Aren't the lights cool in these pictures?! While Locke was driving, he taught Mason the names of the cop car lights and Mason actually said "blue and red"!!! What a good friend!
They were SO cute! There is a turbo speed button that is down on the floor of the car, in between their seats. Once Mason discovered the turbo speed, he kept reaching down to turn in on...leaving the parents in the dust to chase after the boys :-)
Locke also brought Mason a toy. A mini vacuum! Mason LOVES it! He loves our vacuum, so this is much better. He has been playing with it all weekend. As seen above, the vacuum took priority over the car...for a short time. I love that Mason is making friends and that Locke is such a great buddy for him!

Finally found a Midwife!



Yay :-) My search is over. I interviewed an amazing midwife today and I am so excited because she is just perfect.

She was so positive and encouraging and has the same beliefs on birth as me. A match made in heaven. After talking with so many other midwives, I had almost given up hope. Then, Rosemarie came along as an answer to my prayers!

I'm so excited for this birth. I believe in natural childbirth and that women are not "sick", pregnancy is a blessing that doesn't always require a hospital or Doctor. I know most women think I am nuts and that epidurals are heaven sent, but I am not a fan. It's just not for me.

Watch "The Business of Being Born" or "Orgasmic Birth". Two amazing documentaries on birth that ALL women should watch, even if you don't want babies, it is very interesting!

So, I'm a happy Momma today! No more morning sickness, energy is starting to slowly come back and I found a great midwife!

PS- Did you know Giselle Bunchen (aka- worlds highest paid supermodel, married to Tom Brady, yeah, that one) she had her baby in her bathtub in Boston! All natural. I use to not understand what Tom saw in her...now I get it... a supermodel with brains and courage! Love it!

If she can do it, I can do it!
