Don't miss a thing!

I was reading in Pregnancy & Newborn magazine about a website called runpee.com that tells you exactly when you should exit a theatre during a movie to use the restroom. It lets you know how long you can be gone so that you don't miss any of the important plot building scenes. This site is great for the expecting mom, since it's a given that you will be leaving to alleviate yourself at some point during the movie.

Give Thanks!

As we enter the holiday season, I was thinking about how much my life changed when I had my son, and about how much the holidays changed after he was born. It's been two and a half years since he came into this world, and oh how he has grown and changed and changed the lives of his mother, father, and family members. I'm thankful for so many more things now that our family of two became three. Not that I felt I was missing something before he was born, but only after did I find another puzzle piece in my game of Life. I prayerfully give Thanks for my little puzzle piece every day. He is truly a blessing and I have never been more proud of a title than I have been with Mommy! So tell us, what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? We would like to know what our readers have to share.

Boosting Your Immune System

If you are a germophobe like myself, you will appreciate any advice on how to keep yourself from getting the ickies this winter. According to Pregnancy & Newborn magazine, there are natural remedies safe for pregnant women that will help you ward off and cure common ailments. Honey is for sore throats and coughs. I mix it in my tea or eat a teaspoon full and then wash it down with some warm liquid. Eating cabbage can help relieve constipation. Try eating it with a few prunes on top as a salad. Cabbage leaves can also alleviate mastitis, a breast infection that causes red streaks around the nipple, painful swollen breasts, and high fevers. I wish I had known this little tip when I was nursing. Mastitis can be terrible! Chamomile tea can help ward off morning sickness and have a calming effect. You can even use it as a skin compress for burns. Lemon juice can help your immune system fight off viruses. Lemons have lots of vitamin C, so add some zest to your diet like putting lemon wedges in your water and make a toast to your health this winter.
