Whats In My Fridge?

In my fridge there is:

Cool whip
Chicken
Turkey dogs
Turkey bacon
Butter
Eggs
Lactaid milk
Soy milk
Soy butter
Ice tea
Water
Green tea
Cheesecake (from a sunday party)
Shrimp with pasta

and we try to eat together as much as possible. Also dinner is the last thing we can eat for the night so if you don't have dinner then you don't eat anything for the rest of the night. My family tries to eat as healthy as possible so that we don't get sick and just to be healthy. And that's about the jist of it. I believe what my families rituals when it comes to eating meals is we pray together

Break Homework

My families experience with health care in the US has been a particularly good one. My parents have said that they have not had any problems with health care and have in fact been able to get the insurance companies to pay for every medical problem we have had. We also got them to pay for the births of me, and my sisters. No one was ever denied treatment, but we really also haven't been sick enough to really be hospitalized except for a few instances. Every doctor we've had did not worry about payment.

My experience with health care has really contrasted with the movie SiCKO and that is because in the movie everyone had bad experiences and were getting denied treatment while my family has not had to pay medical bills and even got the insurance to pay for a surgery that was not necessarily medical and that has been good for us.

Answers to Questions about Birth

1. How does having a mid-wife (or a Doula) reduce/relieve stress for the baby and/or the parents?

One couple said that having a Doula was great because of the fact that she explained everything and was very educated in her job. She didn't undermine them and she didn't take over the role of husband and that was important to the couple. So having a Doula or a mid-wife helps reduce the stress because they are very educated and help you out with any problems you are having.

My Feelings on Birth

My feelings on birth is just a very common one I believe. I think while the whole nuts and bolts of it all is very for lack of a better word, wierd the actual woman bringing a new life into the world thought is a beautiful thing. Your brining someone new into the world and you can basically raise that person to be who you want them to be (except that most of the time it backfires on you) and that thought in itself is very interesting. I think that most people tend to really think more of the after birth then the actual giving birth because of the fact that the after birth is easier to think about rather then the woman giving birth.

Birth stories (in progress)

Birth Story 1:

This is in fact my birth story, my mom went into labor around midnight, it took her about 8 1/2 hours total and my father and my aunt were the only people in the room with her (other then the doctor of course and his staff). She had the epidural and thats about it.

Birth Story 2:

When my mom gave birth to my first sister, it took her about 4 hours. She also had an epidural for her as well. The family members in the room with her were my grandmother and my father.

Birth Story 3:

When my mother gave birth to my last sister it took her 14 hours. She also had an epidural. The family members in the room with her were my aunt and my father.

For all of the births my mother was very happy. During the whole pregnancy my mother got very sick, for each of them. Giving birth wasn't that difficult and that was a blessing. It also helped that she had two fairly quick births and only one long one, but compared to some persons thats not that long.
