Happy Mother's Day

I hope all the mothers out there feel like everyday is Mother's Day. Life as a mom is never easy, you question everything you do. But when your child says "Thank you for all that you do," whether is in words or a smile, makes everything you do worth it. My children aren't perfect, whose are? But those are my six wonderful children, the ones that make me mad, drive me crazy, are messy, are loud, and sometimes lazy, are the same children that make my heart fill with pride with the things they accomplish, bring me to tears by saying "Love you mama, your the best mama in the world" or wrap their arms around me and give the biggest hug. I can't help and think, wow, what a lucky woman I am. To bring six beautiful children into the world created with love. . .

25th Anniversary of Becoming a Mother

25 years ago I gave birth naturally to an amazing daughter, making me a mother for the first time.  Over the years she has never stopped amazing me, she is strong, stubborn, silly and I am so proud she is mine.  We agree and we disagree on many things, but she never stops helping me learn to become,  I hope a better mother, a better woman.  From the moment I found out I was pregnant and placed my hand on my belly, she has touched me.  Thank you.

Good for Baylor!

 Baylor is one of the few colleges offering a new program that allows nurses to go from their bachelor's degree to a doctorate in nurse-midwifery.  I hope more colleges follow suit, in the hopes of lowering the nations c-section rate.

Dr. Mary Ann Faucher says:


"Doctors are expert in diagnosis and treatment of illness -- but birth is not a sickness," said Dr. Mary Ann Faucher, associate professor of nursing and program coordinator of the nurse-midwifery program at the Dallas-based nursing school. 

"We trust birthing; we trust women's bodies," she said. "The best practice is when midwives collaborate with an obstetrician if there are complications."
