Browsing through Facebook posts this morning, and found a couple of videos of men having a simulated labor. Obviously, they only get to experience half of it, it doesn't end with the contractions and they also have the option to quit - a woman in labor doesn't. Both of these guys end the simulation very early, and it gets worse, much worse.Add to the pain the knowledge you are giving birth to twins too immature to survive and...

Smoking
Every mother who smoked through their pregnancy felt guilty and miserable about doing so, well knowing of the risks involved. Most women swear they will stop if they become pregnant and some even become pregnant hoping they will quit smoking.
Imagine smoking during pregnancy and experience the worst possible of all the risks we are warned about actually happen,- premature birth and infant death. Well, that's what happened to...

At home at last
Rob and me agreed right away that we don't want a grave for Zoe and Kian, but rather have them cremated so that we can have them at home with us as long as we wish. Since none of us is actually from Montreal either it just didn't feel right to bury them here. We don't even know if we will stay here, and we don't want to feel tied to this...

Certified
I did my Reiki Level 1 class today and am now a certified Reiki healer allowed to take clients and start my own clinic if I want to.

The concept of Reiki...

Hello world
After giving birth to Zoe and Kian I had to have Kian's placenta surgically removed. Because the birth was so premature it didn't come out on it's own. The surgery was supposed to take 10 minutes according to the surgeon, but it ended up taking 4 hours, and I lost more than a liter of blood, so I was told to take it really easy when they finally let me leave the hospital.
Partly because of that, and partly because I just couldn't...

Reiki
I've been told a number of times in life that there is something about my energies. I never really thought I can heal or have any special abilities, but I've always been curious about it. I've tried a number of times to heal friends, and some say that it actually helps a lot, but I am still not completely convinced.
After a Jose Silva Ultramind course taught by a famous Norwegian medium a number of years ago, she ended the session...

Not ready to say goodbye
It's Tuesday night now and I am back home writing this, only 48 hours after loosing my babies. Needless to say I've just been crying and crying, sleeping and crying more since I got home yesterday.
Zoe's white hoodie and Kian's yellow.
They gave me a little box with their tiny hoodies, the blanket they were laying on, cards with their...
