The Business of Being Born

Here is a link to the long awaited video “The Business of Being Born”. It plays a preview on this link. The video looks like it will be very good although I found it on line at Circuit City for 19.99. So shop around.

I am shocked that this was approved with no fight to speak of! What do you think of this…

Microwave Cooking?

Here is a Top TEN List I found on the net. It is about how bad microwave cooking is for human consumption.

1.) Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term – permanent – brain damage by “shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2.) The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3.) Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4.) The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5.) Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6.) The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7.) Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.

8.) The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9.) Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10.) Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

Do you believe it, or not? And why? What have you done for re-heating and such if you have gotten rid of the “beast”? We have not but are wondering how many people have?

“WE HATE CHILDREN”

Mama Archer’s unwanted puppies post

Here is a link to a post a friend of ours posted about what happened at her church. How can a person say something like this. It is a sad example of how there is a low value placed on children.
“At what number are children reduced to unwanted puppies to give away rather than being a heritage and blessing of the Lord?”

~Our Great Birth Adventure~

Hi every one!

We had a big adventure! We left for Fairbanks and decided to stay the day before my due date. We stayed at my parents house in Fairbanks, (they were a blessing to us) and we waited -and waited -and waited. While we waited we were blessed with several fun blessings and memories made.

We had fun going out as a family to a park there by the river and playing with our children. They had a lot of fun. And got some great pictures of them playing too. They really needed the time to run hard! And boy did they do that! They played on the slides and swings and climbed like monkeys that had been caged to long.
We were blessed also to go visit “Akhomeschoolfun” who comments here, and her wonderful family. They had us over for dinner and blessed us with a great dinner and fun fellowship. And our children played and didn’t want to leave, they liked their new friends. Thank you again so much for be a blessing to us, and for your friendship. ~Blessings~

Also we got to visit with our long time friends. Amber who comments here too, and her family are very close to us, and we consider them family. They have a wonderful Quiverfull troop of children as well. They are keeping up with us ~Blessings to you all too!~

Some one gave us a tummy bug, and I was fighting it the day I went in to labor. I wondered if it was part to blame in making my labor longer than normal for me.

We finally had our blessing baby girl. Labor started at 7pm in the evening. Jason called the midwives at 8pm. We got to the birth center at 9pm. My labor pains were 5 and speeding up to 2-3 minutes apart. But by the time I got settled in the contractions went back to 5 minutes. I was disappointed I was only dilated to 2.5, but labor looked like it was going to happen for sure. So Dana (Midwife) let us stay as she got a few winks of sleep in the room next door, while we tried to get some rest and did manage to get 2 hours of sleep. Then I was unable to sleep, so Jason got up too. We sat through several more contractions, then they let up a little. So we laid back down for a bit, but it didn’t do much good, ’cause I was up again soon. Contractions got worse and 4:30am Dana said I was 5 cm. I was hoping for her to say I was 8 …lol!

But it did go quicker from then on. My contractions were still often far apart, but very intense! I got in to the tub at around 6am. Dana walked back in the room and she looked in the tub, and said… (surprisingly to all of us) there is the babies head!

I hadn’t even pushed yet! So on the last contraction I pushed, even as the contraction was finishing and baby popped out, and she was a float! A water baby! At 7:07 am our little girl was born! Vision O’YHWH Wilkinson was very healthy and cute. We were so happy to hold her!

Jason got to hold her, as I got a nap for an hour or two. The birth was a good one, no ripping or tearing. Natural childbirth is the only way to go!

Then we packed up and took Baby back to my Moms, who had been watching our other children over night. They were all very excited to meet their new sister. Granny was pleased too. She got to hold Baby before any one else outside the birth center. Her payment for watching the children while we were out.

Getting her feeding established was a challenge. She just about wore me out in more ways than one. After fighting the tummy bug and labor then no sleep with her wanting to eat all the time I felt as if I were going to collapse! I couldn’t hardly stand. I was going on three days, with about three hours sleep. I gave up at 1:30 am and gave her to Jason and went to bed. He took here to the store (Safeway- open 24 hours) and as much as we don’t like bottle feeding… he bought one and he took care of her until 5am when my mom got up, and she watched Vision until 8am when Jason got up again. Giving me over 6 hours of sleep. It helped. We figured the only hope for our sanity was to get home ASAP! Nothing is the same as home. We packed up everything and was out of there just after noon, and had to got to Fairbanks to get our supplies to go home. We stopped by and Jason got our new “energy star rated” fridge. Then we bought a mattress strapped to our roof. Next we went to the feed store and got our bulk bag of flour, 10 baby turkeys, 15 baby chickens, and a bag of feed. Then by 6:30pm we set off to drive home. After fighting the tummy bug too, Jason with three hours sleep and all day shopping did a good job getting us home safely. We unloaded much that night. Some stuff to the freezer, and left most every thing else until today.

Today we unloaded more from our trip and Jason’s Dad came over and helped move in the new fridge and bed, and moved out the old. Then Jason’s mom brought over Spaghetti and a cake. That was nice not having to cook. We hadn’t even thought about cooking, so it was a blessing! ~thanks!~

Vision is doing good and we are getting more settled. Thanks for your prayers! and support!

Baby is Here!

This will be a short post, just to let you know… we have our new baby in our arms. SHE was born later than we were expecting. We hope to be home soon! She was 9lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long. Her name is Vision O’YHWH.

Thanks for all your prayers. I will tell you all more when we get home and hope to post some pictures too.

~~Blessings!~~

I Just Wanted to Know – Simple Fun

When driving home from town last night, I was thinking about a question I often think of on long drives when I am in a hurry and don’t take time to find out. I have asked in the back of my mind, how long it would take to coast to a stop without using the brakes on a very flat straight road? Anna said she never asked this question but she was along for the ride. This must be the thoughts of the kind of people who don’t get out much. A small town way of thinking, or I may just have to face it, I am weird, or is the world weird and I, the only sane one… lol. Any how we found that it takes our van .7 of a mile to roll to a stop from going 40 miles per hour ! Wow now my question I often pondered on long drives is answered. But what if we were going 55? Hmm sounds like another night of simple fun in the country. I guess this is what we do when we do not have a Wal-Mart!
