Is there anything Palin will not do!

Sarah Palin will say anything to get votes and appear popular even if is crazy words - She now will no longer support Breast feeding just because Michelle Obama is. What kind of world do we live in when supporting breastfeeding be political ?

Palin actual reported statement was" No wounder Michelle Obama is telling everyone 'you'd better breastfeed your baby' yeah you'd better because the price of milk is so high right now."- No Palin the first lady is supporting breast feeding - as unlike you who cares about nothing but taking cheap shots, she cares about the health and welfare of woman and child in this country!

Honestly what ever side you sit on you can not honestly tell me that educated, ethical people of American support this crazy woman. She is an embarrassment to woman. An opportunity arises where the lime light is placed on Breastfeeding and its benefits and all Palin can do it make it about her. How much more damage is this crazy woman going to allowed to cause before she is stopped.

Please Lets support breastfeeding right and left ...beacuse its the right thing to do!

Finally

Next week I start as a CNM - all the paperwork is done all the red tape cut through I am actually going to be a Midwife - again. I am still amazed how things just fell in to place .. right from the beginning really I got in to school did the classes ... went in to clinical caught the babies needed.. finished school ... sat boards ...Passed ...got offered a Job. I have a few friends in or waiting to be in school my advice to them is stick with it do it as the experience is life changing.
I was talking to a friend we were discussing school and the merits of it when she said well its ok for someone like you ...like me what do you mean she went on the say that I like being in school so that made things easier. I laughed and we moved on. Later when I was a lone I revised her comment that I liked school I never thought of it. I certainly never liked school as a child and young adult but some how over the years had I become a school lover? What had changed why now did I like school for me it is the development of the online classes and schools it suits me so well able to study when I want to and still have a life ...so all you school haters try on line it is a great experience.

Ready Steady Go

I am at the start line of my new career in the USA I still feel like it is surreal ...and still can not believe that I am here.



I read over my blog today and it did make me smile all my emotions here in text. As for this blog I want to continue although no one really follows or comments its really nice to be able to look back.

I made a decision some time ago not to discuss births or individual patients in my blog I want it to be more about midwifery as a profession woman and families in general and my experiences trying to deliver midwifery as a model of care to the American population.



So next week I should get to start my new job I will be the second midwife in a large OB practice of all woman they have really embraced the other midwife and the midwifery model and want expand the midwifery service I am very excited indeed. More about my new job to come.



Ready, Steady Go.......and I am off

CNM

Well I have done it I get to put CNM behind my name and at last get to provide midwifery care to the woman and families of America - I can hardly believe it. I have a job waiting for me I will be working with another midwife who I know quiet well I am very excited. I expect there will be some bumps in the road but at least I will be back where a I belong I am very fortunate..... join me for this new experience :)

I am Catching!

I am back home where I belong I am back caring for woman and catching babies and I love it truly love it ( even if I am only working as a student). The first few days were a little rough getting back in to the saddle as to speak but now I am feeling it truly feeling it. It hard working with someone looking over your shoulder but no matter all that matters is that I am back caring for women providing them with evidence based health care choice and Power. Its making my real job hard to do and pushing to the finish line with two classes left I can make i got to make it I got to do what I love for a living at it makes everything have a meaning for me. I know this is what I am meant to do and I love it.

Health Care Reform

Wow -I do not think I have met a single nurse that is for the reform which truthfully amazes me - but then again when I got to think about it where are they taking most of their points of reference - why from the Doctors who every man and woman to one are against the reform - why I hear you scream well it comes down to one thing and one thing alone money!

Why the hell are expensively trained doctors and surgeons bothering themselves with low risk normal birth as miss kitty once put it follow the money and the same is true about health reform its all about the money - physicians are concerned that they are going to lose money because of the new law! and may be they will whose knows but what is the greatest need doctors who may need to down size from there four million dollar house or that now 47 million people will be able to receive the basic human right of the ability to to get help when they are sick- doctor move over midwives offer safe reliable care to 70% of the population at half the cost unlucky the gravy train just derailed...............

Could Lost be on her way to being Found

I am well on the way towards the prize I can almost see that flame flickering at the end of that really dark tunnel! I have move towards things and along the way growth has taken place - I not sure what the future holds are any of us but here and now I am beginning to feel a sense of achievement. This achievement is not just with school - I am amazed and almost breathless when I watch my boys grow each different but held together at the core by our sense of family and love - I think like birth not enough attention is spent on the family at what it means and how that being part shapes who you are I do not think up until this minute in my life I realize how important marriage is- gosh you could say I am a slow learner! I feel like some fool looking for the meaning of life when all the time it was right in front of me sometimes we are so rapped up in the future what will happen when that we miss what really is import that is what is here right in front of you. Enough later x
