I am purple

I am just cracking up at my kids all the time, the way they interpret billboards so innocently, to mispronounced to misunderstood words, or funny grammar.  Today while we were getting ready in the morning, I was running around and my oldest boy was chasing me and he said something like I was silly, and I told him I was perfect, he understood that I said I was purple, and it cracked him up so much.  My daughter's favorite colors are pink and purple, so she was laughing and saying I was pink and purple!

I love the minds of happy, innocent children, I had a very innocent childhood as well and feel very blessed, so I am trying to keep it simple and fun as long as possible for them.

I feel blessed, I always remind myself to Thank God for my problems, big kids are in camp, baby was with us this morning on a few errands, we usually take him to his preschool but he fell asleep, so we decided to just let him sleep at home, since we have to work from home.  Tonight I have two private Yoga groups, so excited to do what I do.

I had a wonderful prenatal Yoga class today where we were talking about a doctor's bedside manner, and how the doctor is can affect a birth, and that goes for everybody, a nurse, midwife, or doula, even the husband or family of the birthing mother.  In labor and birth the goal is for the mother to feel open, uninhibited, connected, and mostly that she could just be herself and be honest.  That is what my Doula did for me, and without her I would not have known if the pain was OK and could be managed.  Please remember ladies, the doctor only comes for the actual birth, there will be nobody just with you, the nurses have shifts and many patients to see.  Do yourself a favor and get someone that is just for you the whole time, whether its family, a friend, or a Doula.  Please put yourself first in one of the most important times and experiences of your life, support is vital, even if just someone to assure you that you are OK.

I am working on my Prenatal Yoga cards, it is a project that is going to lead to many other wonderful opportunities.  Sometimes I feel overwhelmed at handling it all, but it is at times like this when I have a moment, to plan, to blog, to work, and I know my kids are happy, and we keep striving to bring our businesses and visions to the world, everything is just as it should be.
