20181125 Welcome Brianna Elise!

In the bible it says,...

Psalm 127:3-5 New International Version (NIV)

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior

are children born in one’s youth.

It was drizzling and & the sky was grey but inspire of the weather, I looked forward to Brianna’s baptism & excited that this tiny four months old baby is now going to be a Christian. What a wonderful thing that myy 2 daughters are her God parents.

I can't help but reminisce the birth of Bri's mother, my God Child. It was twenty two years ago when I was in the the hospital waiting for her to be born. I was privileged to be the first one to see her. The nurse from the operating room brought Bri's mom out for the family see. She was so fair and beautiful even as a baby. I can’t believe ‘that my God Child is now a full grown woman with her very own baby Brianna.Indeed every child is a blessing to the Lord!

What a wonderful circle of life! Many of us realise that It is only when we become mothers ourselves that we fully understand the sacrifices, the pain & the joys of motherhood. Parenting is a serious matter. It defines the child & makes her who she is. We need to raise them in the fear & in the knowledge of God because it gives them their identity & the security they would need when they grow up as individuals.

Welcome to our Christian world!

20181116 The Gate Theory

One of the topics we learned in the Burth Class was the Gate Theory. I think it’s a very interesting theory & makes me think if it was one of the reasons why I’m able to stand the stress & pain if my 5 labor’s.

This theory came into being in the early1960’s. It works by blocking the transmission of painful sensations from the bottom of the spinal colon, called the the “gate”, by switching it “off” so it does not reach the nervous system on to the brain. The stimulants are massage pressure touch etc. .. That is why a labor partner/coach is very important to have. The best person would be your Husband because he is a person you can be relaxed with. Relaxation plays a very important factor in the Gate Theory.

20181111 A Husband shares what he does to make Wife comfy in our Birth Class

As of 2018115

We go around the room in a circle and couples share what changes they have noticed in their wives ever since she got pregnant. Now that their wives are pregnant, they noticed that she has a lot of physical discomforts. One Father had the symptoms of pregnancy. He was the one craving for certain foods to eat.

In this video, a Husband shares what he does to make her feel more comfortable.

20181111 Testimony of a young couple in re. Chiqui’s Birthtimes@hmail.com Class

It’s their 1st time to attend a Birth Class!

Childbirth w/o Fear book by Dr. Grantly Dick-Read

Was so touched reading some of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read’s famous quotes from his book, Childbirth without Fear. Giving him tribute! So very grateful in his break through in being able to start Childbirth Classes during his era when women were being knocked out during our birth. Truly, he is the Father of Natural Childbirth!

20181021 Video Testimony from blogger “Teach w Joy”

PCC 289 October 21, 2018 The Parenting Emporium, QC

20181021

I was pleasantly surprised when Joy contacted me to find out the schedule of my next Childbirth Class. I thought maybe she would refer me to a preggy friend, only to find out it was for her. This is her sixth time to attend my class. Yes this is her 6th baby with me! How wonderful to have her! She lives up to her name because she’s really a positive joyful person.

She and Edric shared their birth stories to their classmates who eagerly listened. I was sure they were more than encouraged because of the sharing. I pray that this 6th birth will be her easiest labor & birth! God bless you both as you lead others into good parenting.

You should follow Joy’s blog as she shares her joys & challenges in being a wife and a mother.
