Introduction to HypnoBirthing Reception

I had a free introduction to HypnoBirthing yesterday at Wild Rose Womens Clinic in Kennewick. A few ladies came and some clinic staff and we had a very relaxed discussion about the program. I also shared some hypnobirthing videos and Birth into Being (a waterbirth video). The reception went really well. I was comfortable with all the discussions, I'm confident that my classes are going to go well.

I had a mom-to-be drive up from La Grande Oregon to meet me... She pretty much signed up for the class right then and there... She says there are other parents in her area that need a class like this so I may be traveling a little if they can make a class large enough to make it worth while for me to drive down there. I hear there is interest in Walla Walla too. I have two other parents that are pre registered. It looks like I'm ready for class to start next week. I'm aiming for class sizes of 4 to 6 people for the first few classes and I've already met that goal.

I'm working on putting a website up, heck I already have it put together basically I just need to put it on the server. When Kenny gets a moment I'll have to bug him to help me. I'm his personal "user".

Why Snow White Should Always Wear Sunscreen

Yes, this is a blister on my daughters back. She spent way to long in the sun sans sunscreen on the 4th of July and now she pays the price dearly with agonizing pain and blisters on her back. Wednesday, 8:00am the kids went to grandma's house for the day. A chance for them to play with their cousin, and to give us a kid free day for our spur of the moment guild wars get together. Grandma smothered them with sun screen and sent them out to go swimming in the pool. Around midday, grandma requested they come in for more sun screen but being the young, silly kids that they are, they totally did not hear grandmas suggestion. They continued playing outside for the remainder of the afternoon. All of Ainsley's exposed portions were burned badly, hands arms, legs, chest shoulders, even tender armpit skin were a deep red from the evil sun exposure. A thin blister formed across her entire shoulder/back area with large blisters along where the straps to her swim suit were.


This will give you a better feel for the poor thing. I used to burn like this, I remember a few times when I had to sleep sitting up because I couldn't lay on my blistered backside. Anyway we've been putting aloe on it and letting her go topless for a few days now. Last night she scraped some of the blistered skin off of one of her shoulders. It smarted for quite a while. It took her a long time to settle down enough to go to bed. Today she seemed much better. Smiling... playing... not being so careful about what touches her skin. But I'm sure she knows now exactly why we lather on the sun screen when we go out to play.
