Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Just for those who've been following my daughters 4th pregnancy and supporting us with thoughts and prayers I thought you might like to know that I was down there for a long weekend last week. She's 17 weeks into the pregnancy now, baby is very lively - she can feel it and so could I She's not got over her sickness but is sort of resigned to it now, having tried absolutely every suggestion people have made. Some days she just feels a bit off but others, especially if she gets particularly tired she is really very sick. Despite all that she's looking well! I bought some of Chris's Labor and Delivery Relaxation Blend and it is lovely. You never know what something's going to smell like when you buy it 'blind' but it's really good. Difficult to describe - there's freshness there (I'm smelling it at the moment) but also warmth and flowers and it's one of those blends that makes you want to breathe it in really deeply - that must be the Frankincense in it. Anyway, it's lovely and I can really recommend it, not only for Labour and Delivery but also just for using 'cos it's so nice. I've got in on my wrists at the moment and asked DH to smell it - he said " wow that's really good, not medicinal at all, more like a perfume " and I can tell you Chris, that's high praise! What sort of diffuser would you use it in Chris, I'm not used to using blends in Jojoba in a diffuser, I usually just use eo's on water. Doesn't the Jojoba burn? Also, thanks Chris for the Buttermilk Baby Bath. That's not been tried! but we did have a sniff and it's just so gentle. That's enough of my ramblings Bye Regards Ann - Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's 17 weeks into the pregnancy now, baby is very lively - she can feel it and so could I Hooray! :-) She's not got over her sickness but is sort of resigned to it now, having tried absolutely every suggestion people have made. Some days she just feels a bit off but others, especially if she gets particularly tired she is really very sick. Despite all that she's looking well! They say (old wives tale kinda thing) that all that nausea means a strong pregnancy! :-) Also, for my nausea, my doc recommended for me to eat " sour foods " and foods to strengthen the liver . such as pickles (the kind made without vinegar), sour dough breads and stuff like that, he also mentioned beets (pickles beets are even better). I must say I got over my nausea stage a lot faster doing that this time around than I did with my son Sean (where I was sick for 3 months straight)! I bought some of Chris's Labor and Delivery Relaxation Blend and it is lovely. Oh I'm so glad you all like it! :-) I find it to be a particularly lovely blend! You never know what something's going to smell like when you buy it 'blind' but it's really good. Difficult to describe - there's freshness there (I'm smelling it at the moment) but also warmth and flowers and it's one of those blends that makes you want to breathe it in really deeply - that must be the Frankincense in it. Anyway, it's lovely and I can really recommend it, not only for Labour and Delivery but also just for using 'cos it's so nice. I have another gal and her sister who both use it just for relaxation, and neither of them are even pregnant! I've got in on my wrists at the moment and asked DH to smell it - he said " wow that's really good, not medicinal at all, more like a perfume " and I can tell you Chris, that's high praise! Awwww *blushing*, thanks! What sort of diffuser would you use it in Chris, I'm not used to using blends in Jojoba in a diffuser, I usually just use eo's on water. Doesn't the Jojoba burn? Actually you're really not ever wanting to let any of oil " burn " per se when you use a diffuser, diluted or not ... You can use it in a potpourri simmering pot with a tea light candle and water, you can put it into one of those little diffusers with a scent pad and a fan in it, it can be placed inside of unglazed pottery to slowly evaporate . to name just a few methods . The Jojoba really helps to bring the blend together. I find that when I make blends, they just don't smell quite right until I use a cutting oil, its too " sharp " otherwise. I like to use Jojoba as my cutting oil 'cause it won't go rancid after sitting in storage for a while and ruin the blend. Also, thanks Chris for the Buttermilk Baby Bath. That's not been tried! but we did have a sniff and it's just so gentle. It is VERY gentle, even gentle enough for when baby is a few months old and bathing in more than just plain ol' water :-) And its good for mum too! That's enough of my ramblings Bye Regards Ann - Scotland Ah, we love it when you ramble! Cheers to you over in Scotland! May your thistles bloom brightly! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
