BlogHer Day 1

My first day in New York City for BlogHer is over. I am settling down into my room with Marie, and Debbie and eating a store bought salad because we couldn’t find anything decent to eat. So where do I start?

Ahh, I will start on the train with my Dad… He took the train ride with me, helped me check my bags, and then we were tourists for the day.  We headed all over New York City checking out some of the tourist type stuff, different places, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, The M&M store, all that fun stuff…

Checking out NBC, all that fun kind of stuff… Then I was able to check into the hotel, get dressed and really head on out for the different parties that I was invited to… After getting dressed, I got in line for a cab at my hotel, and headed to the Martha Stewart Blogger party… I got awesome swag bags, the only disappointment to me was not spotting Martha there after they said she was going to be attending (briefly)  or maybe I just missed her.

Oh, and speaking of celebrity sightings… I saw Jeff Gordon today, ya know the Nascar driver that is probably as tall as I am. He walked out of the Time building as I was passing by and I totally stalked him for a while. LOL
Unfortunately I only got a picture of the back of his head…

Yup had to snap a picture of it… I wish I could have just run ahead of him and pulled a paparazzi kind of maneuver to snap a shot. Thinking about it now, I should have just called JEFF and told him his daughter is adorable and asked for a picture together. Shoulda Coulda Woulda… Right?

So I headed to the Martha Blogger Party… great food, and a TON of alcohol!  I limited myself to one glass of champagne. It was nice, and I met a couple of really cool women who I was able to share cabs with to and from. I look forward to meeting more great bloggers!

I headed over to The People’s Party, went back to my room, and then The Feminist Breeder, and Baby Rabies tweeted wondering where I was… I got dressed again and headed back downstairs. LOL!  I met Gina and I am SUPER beyond excited. Thought I was super fan before? I feel like she is someone I have known for ages!

All in all… it was a great night and I can’t wait for tomorrow!

Cloth Diapers Here We Come!

We got our cloth diapers!  After US customs decided to hang on to them for an extended period of time because the concept of a diaper, that is cloth is pretty confusing and dangerous…  I thought they would never come after hanging out in the states for  a good 10 business days before I begged my husband to go pick them up from our post office while I was in my Passion for Birth workshop.

Of course, during all the waiting, they tried to deliver them on the first day I was away for the whole day. My luck right? Haha!

So lets add something new to do over the next 3 days before I leave for BlogHer. Pre washing all my diaper inserts, and getting them all ready to start our cloth diapering journey!

Aren’t they so adorable??   I think my favorite color we got is the Olive Greenish color, and the Mrs. Robinson which is a dark blue.  I will also be checking out their cloth swimmy diapers which is something we need this time of year!  I really can’t express how excited I am to get started!

On that note, I am off to fire up my washing machine and pre-wash all of my inserts!
I also plan on using their cloth wipes we got and taking some time to complete The Feminist Breeder’s Cloth Wipe Tutorial.

24 Hours & Hell Breaks Loose

I cannot believe what I signed back onto the internet to see tonight. After about 24+ hours of being offline after having my 4 wisdom teeth removed, and a painful and problematic tooth pulled, it seems like the blogging community of women I tend to read, well, used to read until all this bull shit has turned into the snarky mean girls from high school.

For a moment take a step back and LOOK at what rumors do, LOOK at what childish bullying on the internet causes, and go to sleep with a good conscious that what you are doing is right… because you will certainly lose sleep over it.

First Things First :

This is my face… I am swollen like crazy, on steroids, and can’t even take the pain medication I was given. So for me to look, and feel like this and come back to nonsense… didn’t make me much of a happy camper.  I am going to be out of commission for at least another 2 days at the least. I am grateful to have one more day of my husband watching the kids, and Monday with my mother helping me all day. If not… someone might as well just shoot me.

So with that out of the way, you can certainly see how annoyed I may be at this point in time.

So, on to my opinion on the matter :

1. A good educator is a person who provides accurate information on ALL options and allows their student or educatee to make their own choice. There are so many choices out there today that if we all lived the same, or made the same choices, our world would be bland to say the least. This goes back a couple weeks ago to my post “Birth Advocate or Extremist in Disguise? .
2. We live, we learn… After I had my first cesarean, when I went for my 6 week check up I boldly stated “schedule all my cesareans!” clearly we all know I do not feel the same way now, especially after a 26+ hour labor with my second child, and a heartbreaking cesarean for the second time. People make choices, and they change their minds. It is part of life. we live, we learn, we become more educated, and we know we would not make those choices again.
3. Grow up!  This is the fucking internet. Yes, that is it, the internet. And being mean to someone, slandering them, and playing online bully makes you look like an insecure jackass. Nothing more.
   I don’t care if you unfollow me, or whatever. I do not care to be associated with judgmental women with nothing better to do but bicker on the internets and try to jump on the coattail of another’s success.

All in all?  What do I have to say?  Grow the fuck up!
I love Gina, and I see so much of myself in her and the things she has gone through, and the amazing horizons in her future. We have learned through some of the same mistakes, and that has made us clearly better people than some.

Do your think girl!  You rock anything that comes your way, and don’t you ever let anyone else tell you differently!

Love,

Superfan  LOL

Top Twitter Moms that Should be Celebrities!

Yesterday Babble featured the top 50 celebrity moms that are on twitter, and I had this genius revelation that I should make my own list of the top MOMS on twitter that I think SHOULD be celebrities!

Although coming up with 50 would have probably been impossible for me, coming up with 30 wasn’t too hard!
So, here are the top 30 Twitter Moms that I think should be Celebrities!

30) @MumtoEve – Bess as I know her is an awesome Mom. She recently just had a VBAC and is not tweeting as much as she was since giving birth, but still a great resource to twitter, and the childbirth community, especially being a VBAC mom herself!

29) @fyuree – Michael Robertson a friend of mine in real life who actually joined after I encouraged her to one night. The mother of 3, 2 born at home with a midwife, and one a natural hospital birth experience she is a great advocate!  She authors her own blog called Is This Co-Parenting? As she is a Navy wife often faced with Deployment and late nights.

28) @ICANGrowPeople – Lori  Says ” I started my blog I Can Grow People to keep my family informed about my pregnancy, but it has evolved into a place where I talk openly about my struggles and triumphs in parenthood–all while attempting to retain my sense of humor!”   Check out her blog I Can Grow People.

25) @Lynda – Lynda pretty simple to remember right?  Unlike most of the bloggers and Mothers I have included before, she is not as much of a birth junkie as the rest. She is a great photographer, and overall a great person. Check out her blog The Daily Window.

24) @ToniRaquel – Toni is one of the first twitter moms I became friends with when first getting into the world of Twitter. She is a Polaroid loving, natural birth advocate, breastfeeding advocate, married mother to Lucy.  We have been trying to convince her to start a blog!  LOL

23) @Beniceprenatal – Cynthia Lin is part owner in Be Nice Prenatal vitamins, and a great and hysterical Mom on twitter! She has two children, ages 2 and 5 and a full time, corporate job. On the side,  she says  “I promote Be Nice prenatal vitamin drink mix and support all pregnant and breastfeeding mothers!”   Check out Be Nice Prenatal Vitamins.

22) @GretaBlau – Greta is a local mother to me, I also met her on twitter through a great local midwife I know. Greta had a home birth with her son, and is a great resource to the childbirth community. I have been trying to encourage her to start her own blog, but in the mean time we can read what she has to say on BirthActivist.com.

21) @CTMayor – Tracy AKA The Mayor of Crazy Town is a hysterical Mom I met on twitter. She is a pistol, think twice before you say something to her, as she is good with one liners and comebacks!  Check out her Website The Mayor of Crazy Town.

18) @BabyDickey – Emily – I originally came across her on twitter in the tale end of her pregnancy which was full of pushed inductions and typical obstetric interventions. Through her Twitter Birth and an unnecessary induction and cesarean birth she became a great advocate, and ICAN chapter leader.   Check out her Blog : Baby Dickey.

17) @Preparing4Birth – Desirre Andrews, childbirth educator, doula, and amazing educator. Mother of 4, two of which are VBA2C babies. She is the current President of ICAN and someone who is an awesome advocate and educator to follow!  Check out her website Preparing for Birth & the ICAN site.

12) @RaisingBoyChick – Arwyn is an awesome woman to follow on twitter. She always has something to say that will really make you think, or laugh. She writes an even awesomer blog called Raising My Boychick, check it out!

11) @soozenw – Susan  is amazing. She told an awesome tale of plans for a UBAC after she couldn’t legally find any midwives in her area to take on a VBAC at home. Although she had a 2nd cesarean section, she made a lasting impact on myself, and most of the childbirth community on twitter with her journey.

10) @MidwifeAmy – Amy Romano from Science & Sensibility, although I know her on more of a one-on-one level as she is local to me. Play dates, working on special projects or just having a glass of wine. She seriously rocks!

Since the loss of Cora, Kristine has done amazing things to help spread the world on Congenital Heart Defects, has started a blog to heal, and help others, and started her own non-profit charity in Cora’s name. She is an amazing mother, and advocate!

6) @CrunchyGoddess – Amy Gates is an amazing mom blogger I met through twitter. Different from most typical Mom Bloggers Amy stands strong in her thoughts, ideas and beliefs and is an outstanding writer!  I am always interested in seeing what is going to be the newest topic on her blog Crunchy Domestic Goddess.

5) @PhDinParenting – Annie is a great blogger who I have followed for quite some time, and I completely love the majority of her posts. While she may not be an actual PhD, she certainly should be!  Her blog is thought provoking and constantly challenging my brain. Check out PhD in Parenting, you won’t be wasting your time!

4) @BabyRabies – Jill from Baby Rabies is probably one of my favorite preggo bloggers, and her tweets just crack me up. Reading a post of hers, or a tweet from her helps to get a smile on my face almost instantly!

3) @BirthingKristen – Kristen from Birthing Beautiful Ideas is an awesome chick!  I had followed her, and her blog for quite a while, and then when preparing for the NIH VBAC conference in March, she was awesome enough to offer to share her room with me.Check out her blog, she has an amazing amount of great information on VBAC!

2) @FeministBreeder – Gina is probably the woman I want to be “when I grow up” and i say that with as much respect as possible. Gina is one of my idol bloggers, and one that I have the most in common with. I first found her VBAC story which made me not only cry, but enraged me to help make more change out there in the birth community.  Her blog The Feminist Breeder is probably my favorite blog to read!  I LOVE GINA!   I cannot WAIT to meet her at BlogHer in August!

1) @StarryMom – Sarah rocks my socks off.  She is my “web master” and has been an amazing help in turning my blogspot crap hole blog into not only a .com site, but an amazingly designed  masterpiece!  She is a great mentor when it comes to anything that has to do with technology, and she is an amazing photographer! Her website One Starry Night is just a masterpiece!

Now go check out all these women, follow them, tweet at them, and check out their blogs!  You won’t be sorry!

Drawing My BlogHer Line in the Sand

Sure, there are some people who aren’t going to agree with me, or agree with what I have to say, but before I even get started, I am going to make it clear that harassing comments, or even rude or tasteless comments will end up where they belong… the trash. This is not a free for all over my opinion.

I had no idea there was this brewing revolution against the 2010 BlogHer conference  until last night when I read “Nestle Doesn’t Care if you Back Out of BlogHer” by one of my fav’s Gina the Feminist Breeder. Then it hit me. This is probably the ONLY year I am going to be able to attend BlogHer anytime soon. With two little boys under 3, a budding career, and a million things going on in my own life, who knows when I will be able to go again. New York City is less than an hour for me on the train, it is cheap to commute for the conference, I will get to meet some of my favorite bloggers, and I have an AWESOME sponsor!   Why would I back out now?

Well its no secret over the last 2 months I have been searching for a ticket like a nut because I wasn’t able to purchase one when they were sold out. Sponsor or not, no ticket means no conference.

Last night kind of burned my biscuits when people started discussing the fact that they are not going, nor passing their ticket along. Instead their ticket will be going in the garbage. While it is understandable because they have something that they believe in, it pissed me off because there are so many women out here sitting and waiting on the “waiting list” for BlogHer tickets, or would give anything for the opportunity to go, and the Nestle boycott doesn’t impact us.

It is no secret I haven’t been the biggest supporter of the Nestle boycott. I support what the boy cotter’s are doing, but unfortunately without Nestle, and their Good Start formula, my youngest child may not have been able to find any formula he could tolerate after he had issues with breast milk.

But now there are women from all kinds of causes who may not get the opportunity at all because more tickets are going in the trash even though people won’t be attending.  Like I said before, on one side of the fence I see the issue, on the other side it looks selfish to all the women desperately wanting to go to the conference when these other bloggers are squandering their tickets.

My line in the sand?
I am standing with Gina, and I will still be going to BlogHer. and I will boycott Nestle openly while there, and I will be a radical.
But 20 people boycotting a conference isn’t going to stick it to one of the largest companies in the world, it is only going to stick it to 20 more women sitting on the waiting list who won’t get an opportunity to go to BlogHer, whether for their first time, or their fifth time.

Weekly Round Up

I have found that some of my readers really enjoy the weekly round up posts, so I am going to continue them as long as I have things to round up each week! Hahah!

This week there were quite a few things to highlight, but certainly not as much as there has been in the past.
I will start off with highlights from my house this week :

• Everyone got sick. Real highlight huh?  Both boys got croup for the first time.
• Camden went to his first Easter Egg hunt!
• Benjamin is starting to try and pull himself up to stand. (I am done for once that happens)
• I opened my own Online Mark Store!  Come by and see if there is anything you are interested in, their products are awesome!!

On the internet blog circle :

• When Labor & Delivery Staff Behave Badly : I have seen posts about this all over the internet on various blogs, but because I love Gina, and she actually had a picture of the exchange, I decided to feature her post. I love some of the comments on it. Last night my Husband sat down and read it while we were having our Pizza dinner and he stopped eating and told me he was completely disgusted. Not much can make make him stop eating!
• Dou-la-la knocks one out of the park with her Weekly Movie about The Food Revolution that aired on ABC Friday Night. Baby was asleep, DH had the toddler with him at the fire house, and I watched it. I was completely disgusted and astounded that this is such a problem and I really hope this opens the eyes of the American public.  Another great post about Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution comes from Peaceful Parenting.
• Amnesty International Slam Dunk’s craptastic “Dr” Amy’s post on Maternal Mortality in the United States.  I can say that there are only a hand full of people in life I “hate” because it is such a strong word, but the more I read this bitch write, the more I think she is just an internet troll with no real education.
• Great post in Mothering Magazine which turned out to be a very interesting read : Is Aluminum the New Thimerosal?
• Even though I was taking with local superstar Amy Romano about this a couple weeks ago, I finally had the chance to see it : This 1-Year-Old Happy Meal Has Aged Surprisingly Well.
• The ICAN Blog covers the ACOG Spokesmen talking about the rising cesarean section rates.

I hope you enjoy these highlights as much as I did this past week. If you have any highlights you would like to have included in my weekly round up posts, please e-mail them to me at Danielle.Elwood@gmail.com.
You can also leave a comment on the Momotics Facebook Fan Page or Tweet a suggestion at me on Twitter.

Weekly Round Up

This is becoming a nice habit of mine, and I love taking the time to post my favorite blogs, news stories, and stuff going on in our own household for the week.

First I will start with our family this week.
Benjamin is getting another tooth, his top right one and it has made for a rough week on top of the house full of sniffles.
The boys & I hung out with Amy Romano this week and her little guy Dexter, it was a beautiful day, and I foresee some writing for Lamaze in my future.
Our wireless router finally showed up!
I got a new tattoo and made an appointment to get another fixed up and shaded!
Got picked up for another article in The Fairfield County Weekly.

My favorite blog posts from this past week :

• The Feminist Breeder’s awesome blog post using a Dr. Seuss book to describe modern day birth advocacy.

• Michael a local doula, hypnobirthing Momma, and a friend of mine gave birth early after a difficult pregnancy (after two previous home births) to a little girl and posted the video. It is super amazing!
• Great informational post on Episiotomies by At Your Cervix.
• Dou-la-la knocks it out of the park this week with two posts, one on why public nursing matters, and Bag the Bag sling in light of the sling danger mania this week!
• Gloria Lemay Quotes an OB/GYN on Unnecessary Cesarean Births.
• Jill at the Unnecesarean made an awesome graph of the c-section rates from 1970 till now, very telling!

In the news :

• Doctors say Benefit of Baby wearing out weights the risks!
• Mothering Magazine takes on Baby wearing in their Special Report
• Michael Moore takes on Stupak, and I love every minute of it!  If you aren’t extremely liberal like myself, you probably will not enjoy this one!

Still I have been doing this week that you should really check out if you missed it….

• Wednesday night I had Dr. Nicolas Fogelson OB/GYN on my radio show discussing delayed cord clamping.
• In light of the recent nice weather, locally there has been one fatal motorcycle crash, and another seriously injuring a friend of our family, both caused by negligent drivers of cars. Remember this time of year, with the nice weather, you are sharing the road with motorcycles!
• Post Cesarean Feelings Survey ended on Monday, and since then it has been a crunch to analyze the numbers, and get consent for comments, and everything we need to do to work on this project more.  The first two posts with information were posted. The first post included the results of the survey as a whole, and the second post on the results of questions #1 and #2 was posted yesterday.  Keep an eye open this coming week for a couple things… More survey’s with a time limit of a month, and the post for questions #3 and #4!
• Check out the Health Baby Network’s post about the Post Cesarean Feelings Survey also!

See ya next Sunday for a hopefully awesome wrap up of this coming week!

When Feminists Draw a Line…

Since I have been a “member” of the feminism community, I have noticed a trend that is not seeming to change. The number of feminists that stop the fight for rights, and choice at abortion. Once a woman makes the decision to continue a pregnancy, they stop fighting for those rights. Now granted, not all feminists are like that. But this really has sparked thoughts in myself, as well as Gina, better known as The Feminist Breeder. Fitting blog title huh?

I found Gina through ICAN, but most people have stumbled upon her blog long before. But what drew me in the most was the amount of similar views that we shared. I was in instant … sistermance?  Is that kind of compatible to bromance? You get the point…

Yesterday she wrote an amazingly awesome blog about exactly what we are going to talk about tomorrow night, I encourage everyone to go over to her blog and read : I’ve Been Annoyed with Feminist This Week .  She in short articulates everything that I wanted to say. We have these giant woman’s rights organizations going to bat over the stupid 30 second Tim Tebow & Focus on the Family ad for the Super Bowl, but when it comes to an 11 minute segment on an elective cesarean section, or a 5 minute segment on water birth, both giving out horrid information to the mainstream public, screw that… it isn’t important enough.

I am so grateful for groups like The National Advocates for Pregnant Women who are truly working on this issue, and not just skimming over issues like this. We can hope that other big named groups such as NOW and NARAL will follow suit.

In light of this real issue, we decided to sit down and talk on the Momotics Radio show this Thursday Night at 10pm EST.  If you don’t know, Gina also has a kick ass radio show herself called The Feminist Breeder and Friends. Tune in Every Sunday night at 10pm CST.  I hope you tune in and join us this Thursday night.

This is not an issue that stops during pregnancy.

For some more cases on pregnant woman’s rights being violated, as well as birthing women, check out the links & video below :

NJ Case of VM
FL Case of Samantha Burton

It really all makes you think!
