We went on a walk the other day to enjoy the beautiful Colorado sunset.
It was just a perfect day!

Paul and I enjoyed the time with our children, it was a nice way to end a perfect Sabbath Day.

Here is another shot of the sunset.
Final thoughts for the day:
I have spent the past week or so doing research on CSS (cascading style sheets) and attempting to up my skills with movable type. I still have a ways to go in learning these tricky codes. At one point last week I completely erased my archives from the Blog. Thankfully Paul helped me get those back, but I have yet to figure out how to make the side bars come back up on the side as compared to running at the bottom of the text. I also am befuddled to know how to get the double posting to go back to single.
In the morning I plan to attend a prayer group with my friend and then I have a baby shower in the evening. Next week begins the final two weeks of the play I am Music Directing, so I am anticipating blogging to be very light for the duration. We have still not decided if we are going to move this summer, but it is getting down to the wire on that decision. If we do go, I am anticipating this Blogging adventure to be toned down somewhat while I do the work of moving. Enjoy my archives!

I really wanted to do a great blog post on these articles:

C-Section Rate climb
No Massive dosing on vitamins during pregnancy
Both of these newsmax articles made me chuckle.
On vitamins:
“Women should not self-dose on high-dose vitamin C and E supplements. These are available across the counter and, we suggest, are now contraindicated in pregnancy.”
The powers that be are getting ready for Mercks takeover when Codex really gets going in America in the next year or two. I took upwards of 5 grams of vitamin C and 1200 IU of Vitamin E during all of my pregnancies and the day I gave birth to my second daughter by C-section I ate 50 GRAMS, yes that is GRAMS of vitamin C to ward off a post opperative infection. No diarrhea. If you get the runs after taking high doses of C it is a sign you have saturated your body. These water soluble vitamins easily pass out of the tissues of the body, and are necessary nutrients for pregnancy.
What cracks me up is the double standard. Pregnant women can take Anti-Depressants….even at the highest doses, but Heaven forbid if she wants to take some extra C to help with building her placenta or making sure junior has a properly built immune system.
The bottom line of these articles:
Vitamins = BAAAAADDD / Cesarean Section = GOOD
As for the C-section article, it is just loaded with lies:
“Potential benefits of CDMR as compared with planned vaginal delivery include a decreased risk of hemorrhaging for the mother, and a reduced risk of certain birth injuries for the baby.”
National Institutes of health mulling, and mulling, and mulling while doctors and hospitals reap a bounteous harvest from the wombs of unsuspecting mothers and babies all over the country…..cha ching, cha ching…
“But proponents of elective C-sections say the worst risks are extremely rare, especially for a healthy, rested woman, and that vaginal birth has its own problems, such as vaginal tears or the use of forceps.”
“At the end of the day it should be the mother’s decision,” said Linda Dyson, a New York public relations executive whose first baby was born by a medically necessary C-section but chose to have her second child the same way. “Honestly for me, I thought a C-section was safer.”
And therein lies the problem….women are NOT being taught the facts about surgical birth.
Mommas….take personal responsibility for the health of your baby, your birth, and your family life. You are the one who has to live with the long term consequences of your birth choices.
My question is….when is it going to stop??? When the C-section rate hits 75%? 85%? or are we just going to get to the point where we have a section or an unassisted home birth?
I need to go to sleep.
