As always, a great list. The article about Caesarean births is very eye opening. I’m glad it’s getting some press in major papers now. (And thanks for including me – honoured, as always.)
I love your Tuesday Tours. You find some of the most interesting things! The ceasarean births are absolutely shocking…I remember when I was pregnant with my first child that the rate where I live was 33%. Of the 19 people I know personally that have been induced only THREE did NOT have to have an emergency C-section. Those are not good odds in my book. I had to fight to not be induced. I did not want a C-section if it could be avoided. It is just shocking how ‘normal’ the practice has become.
On a lighter note..I love the yellow birthday idea. So fun!
The yellow themed party is super cute! I love the idea of doing a party around a color.
