PRAY!!!!
Susan Budd is being induced with Rebekah today. She started her pitocin at about 7:55am.
The last update (@10:20am) stated that Rebekah is showing some signs of distress during contractions.
Continue to lift the ENTIRE family up in prayer today!!! I know that our God is in the miracle business and I am praying for a big one today!
I will keep you updated as I can.

PTL! Praise the Lord!! Baby Rebekah has stabilized and seems to be handling contractions much better. The heart decelerations seem to be due to cord compression, which is better than the alternative. The Pitocin has been increased to help move things along. Susan is resting with stronger contractions. Thank you for your many prayers. God is Great! Michael

Reminders for April
Our April meeting is fast approaching and I have a few reminders for you.
We will be collecting $$ to buy an end-of-the-year gift for the MOPPET workers. There is no set amount, just what you feel led to give. Remember, these meetings wouldn't be possible without them!
It's official...we will begin meeting twice a month starting in September! Our meetings will be on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday's of each month. Start making your plans for the fall!
Our 2009-2010 theme is "Together on Planet Mom." We will talk a little more about this at our meeting.
I hope to see all of you on Tuesday!

Therapeutic Aromatherapy
Hey ladies! Good afternoon! Debbie here. I am so excited about our blog and chatting with everybody on a more frequent basis. If you're like me, you've already sprayed your house with cinnamon and thought, hmm, is this really a good idea? ;)
For those of you who may not have been able to be there this morning, our fabulous speaker on Mommy Stress informed me that my favorite scent will in fact increase libido. And, that there are a lot of fragrances that can effect our perception of life. So, here is a copy of the sheet she handed out for those of you who are curious about your own favorite fragrances...
Bergamot=mood lifter
Benzoin=helps with respiratory infections, congestion
Eucalyptus=decongestant, aches and pains
Lavender=helps with relaxation, calms, and wards off stress
Lemon=uplifting and helps focus the mind
Lemon Balm=calming, helps curve the nervous system
Lime=stimulating and refreshing to the mind and spirit
Mandarin orange=mood lifter and helps ease anxiety
Neroli=helps ease anxiety and promotes relaxation
Rose=promotes comfort of the mind and spirit, eases anxiety
Sandalwood=helps ease stress, aggression, and grief
Sweet orange=helps rid blue moods, uplifts the spirit
Tangerine=uplifting and energizing
Tea Tree=anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal
This is from a website igoteach.com that has instructions on how to make Therapeutic Aromatherapy Dough.
Also, a study at Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, England reports:
Thirty-six patients and CCU were given massages, some with aroma oils and others without. There was a 91% reduction in heart rate for the group treated to aromamassage, a 51% reduction in the massage group receiving unscented oils, and only a 41% reduction in the control group with standard care treatments.
So, I hope you all have locked yourselves in the bathroom, had 4 sets of deep breaths, lowered your shoulders and are feeling much calmer about your day! Get out there and enjoy the sunshine while it's here!
Now, in the spirit of our new blog, please post in the comments what your favorite fragrance is. And if it's not on the list, google it and let us know how your fragrances influences you!
