Make of it what you will, this is a touchy subject so I’m just going to share the story with you without any comments from myself. From CNN: “Palin opposes abortion in all cases, including rape and incest, except when a mother’s life is in danger, and said she believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned and the decision given to the states. McCain voted for the Prohibit Partial Birth Abortion bill in 2003 and…
Angelina Jolie appears on the cover of W’s November issue, while breastfeeding. Good for her, she looks beautiful. After strolling through many blogs I came upon a lot of negative feedback. I truly can’t believe in this day and age there could be such negative responses to something as simple as a mother shown breastfeeding on a cover of a magazine, that something so innocent and natural could be misconstrued as anything other than a…
According to a blog on Cnn the CDC and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that women who will be pregnant during the flu season, get a flu shot. I don’t know exactly how I feel about that but I do know that I was completely unaware that it was recommended. A little more than 6 months ago when I gave birth to my son, I did so while having the flu. Let…

One thing I have found that is very difficult is installing a car seat. Ok, maybe you think you had an easy time of it, but do you know if you installed it correctly? You may think you have but statistics show that’s not always the case. Something as simple as a harness thats too loose could cost you your child. I’m not trying to scare you, but I am trying to make you aware.…
An excerpt taken from an article on BBC. “In valleys and villages across Badakshan, a province located in the Hindu Kush mountain range, such stories are common. Maternal mortality, when a woman dies during or shortly after pregnancy, is believed to be the highest in the world here. According to statistics published by the UN in 2002, the province had the highest rate of mortal maternity ever recorded. For almost 16 babies born, one woman…
Tonight on BBC America I just happened to catch part of a program that dealt with women who care for life like babies. Talk about strange…. These babies look so life like it’s amazing. I watched a program long ago about men who buy life-like dolls of women and that was pretty understandable to me, but this just seems to be too sad and strange. One woman they showed was in a store buying Roberto…
I have so much I want to talk about. I think day and night about all the topics I could cover. It drives me crazy. I don’t have many people to discuss things with these days.. and unfortunately my small family outside of my husband and child is very broken. Motherhood has really opened up my eyes to a lot of things and I’ve realized now that I have my son.. if we were the…
