Bettie Sheets: July 2010

http://bettiesheets.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

A Midwife with a passion for laughing and thinking. Friday, July 30, 2010. Permanent State of Catch-Up? A couple of days ago we had our second Internet. The few minutes extended in about 30 as my laptop inexplicably kept freezing up. There is nothing more infuriating to me to sit doing nothing waiting on a frozen computer! Next time, I will make sure that I don't have anything else open on my laptop and that I begin signing in much earlier. I will also resist blaming mom for the whole mess. I would like ...

Bettie Sheets: The Legacy of Birth

http://bettiesheets.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-legacy-of-birth-it-was-normal.html

A Midwife with a passion for laughing and thinking. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. The Legacy of Birth. After further discussion, it comes to light that she has a family birth 'legacy', a legacy that has affected her mother and sisters. However, we don’t know exactly how to negate negative messages, or to find strength in what all seems like theory. We don’t know have to have faith in our bodies because we don’t know what that means and we don’t know what to do with the legacies. So, what is the answer?

Bettie Sheets: October 2012

http://bettiesheets.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

A Midwife with a passion for laughing and thinking. Friday, October 19, 2012. She sat down at the hotel bar between two tired businessmen. This wasn't something she normally did, but she figured she should celebrate her achievement. She had wanted this all her life and had worked solidly for three years to make it happen. She ordered a martini and began to have polite conversation with the men. Silently, she thanked the man. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

Bettie Sheets: November 2011

http://bettiesheets.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

A Midwife with a passion for laughing and thinking. Friday, November 4, 2011. It is okay not to like it. Birth is not pain-free for most women. I know this is not a secret, but it seems to be a thing in the natural birth community to sugar coat the physical sensations of birth. There are many, many benefits to giving birth naturally and even ecstatically (Thank you Sarah Buckley! Tuesday, November 1, 2011. On the road again. Midwifery has helped me to see the world! Yes and no, this will pass. All th...

The Drommer Nest: October 2011

http://thedrommernest.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 30, 2011. Our "Child Plan" ;). Again, same concept as the "Birth Plan", but how we plan to implement childhood! We plan to do child led weaning in the breastfeeding department. I view it more as a connection and special time, than strictly nutritional. Every child weans and every child loses their latching ability, so it WILL end. However, at this time, I can't really see me doing it any further than three. But you never know what may happen! I also want a nap nanny for the first four mon...

Bettie Sheets: November 2014

http://bettiesheets.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

A Midwife with a passion for laughing and thinking. Sunday, November 23, 2014. A very personal poem. A decade ago I sat outside. I looked for beauty. I would find enough to justify little gifts from God. Hummingbirds who took the bait. Blue jays who played in the trees. The place that I created; a little spot to hide the rest. Big enough that if you set your gaze just right. You could only see beautiful. Sometimes I sat and did nothing but find the beautiful. I would become filled with wonder. They still...
