Healthier me

It's a good thing God granted me an easy delivery and a fast recovery. I can't wait the full 6 weeks until I start an aerobics program. Last night, I had a dizzy spell. That means I have too much inflammation in my body. I need to get the blood flowing, keep hydrated, and cut out sugars and most salt. The weather is nice, so I can start going for walks.

Janie doesn't like spinach so she eats it every day and launches campaigns against spinach farmers to have it banned and boycotted. She harrasses spinach farmers, calling them and telling them to stop and that they should grow something else to eat because she doesn't like spinach and to stop "forcing" her to eat it.

I this is a closer analogy. Maxine loves spinach and so does Betty. But Betty also likes broccoli. Maxine has never had broccoli, but she's hears about it!! and she's read a lot about it from people who don't like broccoli and won't use it in their recipes!

And no matter how much scientific evidence Betty finds on the nutritional benefits of broccoli, or how many tasty recipes she presents to Maxine, Maxine will not be swayed to even concede that broccoli might just be a healthy vegetable too!

Congratulations on the new baby! May she be a happy vegetable eater!!

Wow congratulations. Last time I was here you had just found out she was a girl and I think you had written some analysis of Bob the Builder which I found helpful. I will be praying you continue to recover well.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some ...

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a...

1 Week

Baby Boy is one week old today! He's doing so well and we are all smitten with him. I am amazed at his growth and progress in just 1 week! Baby Boy is a quiet lad who only cries when it is necessary (at least so far). During his wakeful times, he enjoys staring at patterns or his mommy. He's great at turning his head to look around and listens intently when I sing. He's not the strongest feeder, yet and prefers multiple quick snacks rather than spaced out dinners. His umbilical cord stump is almost ready to fall off. He likes to be swaddled and loves being held. So much so that when I do hold him, he falls asleep almost instantly, but if I put him down, he wakes up. Not all the time, though. :)
