Thanks for all your enthusiasm! :) Josh hasn't had any more expressions like the ones mentioned. But then again, our lives have changed for a bit, while my mother is staying with us for 3 weeks... and we're doing a lot of catching up on work around the house. Josh is getting a lot of time to...

I'm just wanting to share... not needing advice (but if there is anything you'd like to say, feel free!). I'm glad that I can share this here at this forum, cuz in real life I can only share this enthusiasm with my mother who lives on the other side of the globe. My dh is open to it, but boggled...

Lauren, just very plainly telling the baby to close his/her chakras. That's most of it. The baby's head does not need to be covered/protected during the birth if it is a normal birth, at home, dimmed lights, gentle birthing experience and all. After birth, it is only normal for a child to be...

The most profound experiences i had during pregnancy, communicating with my children in utero... or communications from my children in utero. I conceived of our first the day that my Father in law (fil) had a major heart attack. We didn't know that this had happened... we live in Canada, he...

Lauren, would you be willing to share some of those "weird encounters" as you say... perhaps we could help you find your trust in yourself and in the pregnancy... wrt my birth stories... I decided that I will not post the entire birthstory, because this is not a birth forum. I will send those...

Oh it was a message about a babybook that I came across on the web... thought you might want to look at it for the book you want to make for your babe... handmade baby book It is so beautiful! Couldn't resist... :)

My brother and I spent our childhood together with the exact same parents, in exactly the same places. We both have *very* different memories of our youth. It's all in the eyes of the beholder, I say. Who am I to say whether his truth is true or not, just because it doesn't correspond with my...

Lauren, I'd be very happy to share my births with you. I had my mother present for both births, she stayed with us for 3 months with each birth, and it was a godsend. Sure, it meant territorium issues, and opinions on what was best for babe, but keep in mind: this child will be born with YOU...

It sure is good to have this forum. I'm only a newbie myself... but it has already been invaluable to me to be here. I am sure that you are starting to get eager to meet your baby. If you would like, I would be willing to share my birth stories with you, on how our boys came into this world...

I can only speak from my own experience, which is pretty much in line with what i've heard others say about spirits incarnating. i felt exactly what you describe... the baby inside me is exactly that, the baby inside me. i had conversations with the spirit that came with the baby, but was...

No worries Deborah! Thanks for the welcome, and I am sure going to be hanging out here more often! Actually, I had a real drive to "catch up" today! It is time for me to get in touch with other aspects of myself, and this resonates deeply :-)

Just wanted to add that I re-read Allison's "gutz" post again, ... and I hadn't remembered when replying that gutz was used instead of stuck. Gutz is stuck reversed. Perhaps there could have been some dyslexia? Perhaps it would be interesting to recall some other "weird" words your brother was...

Have you heard of the book: "The Little Soul and the Sun", by Neale D. Walsch? My heart goes out to you. It must be entirely, heart-wrenchingly devastating to lose a child. I wish you love and strength on your search for answers and peace for your heart. Halenka, there are homeopaths, who...

Three years ago I gave birth to our first child. We had not had an ultrasound, so we didn't know the gender of the baby I was carrying. Two months prior to his birth, I woke up one morning, sat bolt upright, and said to my husband: this is a boy, and his name is Joshua. It had been told to me...

Hello, a newbie here. There is no introductions thread so I'll jump right in. There *is* a word in Dutch (I am a native Dutch speaker, living in Canada) that sounds like gutz, and it is spelled "koets". It means carriage (horse-drawn). Bouffant, the hair-do, stems from the french word...
