Crazy Life

It's hard to believe it's February 2013 already - time really flies when you are up to your eyeballs in things to do!<br />
<br />
My sixth wedding anniversary is tomorrow - that time has flown by quickly as well.<br />
<br />
I've got a lot of catching up to do, so bear with me, but I am excited to finally get on a regular schedule. Of course, I still don't know what that quite looks like yet, but hey, at least I posted this!<br />
<br />
I've discovered the wonder of Pinterest and one of my favorite boards is Colors of the Rainbow. Here's a perfect example to pin!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are a <a href="http://www.panicanxietycenter.com/panic-attack-help/">sufferer of panic attacks</a> like me, you are almost certainly looking for ways to treat them.<br />
<br />
I've been trying to find ways to lessen my panic attacks. Here are some things I've learned.<br />
<br />
At the time you are making an effort towards knowing how to overcome panic attacks, the first thing that you need to do is to understand what anxiety attacks are all about. This is because being aware of them is the most significant tool to fight against them.<br />
<br />
When you know all about anxiety attacks, it becomes much simpler for you to respond to the symptoms that come along with the attack. These attacks can be encountered by anyone whether the individual is stressed or depressed or very happy. The worst thing about attacks is that they can occur without any warning whatsoever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These attacks can also be due to <a href="http://www.panicanxietycenter.com/panic-attack-medication/">fear or anxiety</a>. Chemical imbalances in the body can also lead to attacks. Many research has been done to find out about the causes of these attacks, but the causes have not been understood completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next thing that you need to know is its symptoms for understanding how to overcome panic attacks. Attacks can occur suddenly, and so predicting them may not be possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Knowing about this will help you to know whether you can be a sufferer from these attacks and if so you soon learn about how to <a href="http://www.panicanxietycenter.com/panic-attack-medication/">overcome panic attacks</a>. One thing that you need to note is that the symptoms can also vary from person to person.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first step towards overcoming panic attacks is to practice deep breathing exercises. At the time you feel an attack coming on, deep breathing can be very much of help as this will help you to divert your mind and at the same time come out of fearful thoughts. Repeat the process of deep breathing again and again and this will help calm your body down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Avoiding unnecessary stress is also very helpful. Keep yourself away from those people who stress you, as this will keep your body relaxed. There are many programs that can help you overcome panic attacks. They can be very advantageous. One such program is <a href="http://www.panicaway.com/?hop=soberg">Panic Away</a> which has helped thousands of people get rid of their attacks permanently.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, They Don't Come With An Owner's Manual<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The other day I read a question on a message from a new mother-to-be.  She was only 17, about to give birth, and had no one to give her advice or help her with the baby.  She was scared to death.  As a seasoned mother of two and a grandmother of four, I felt compelled to  I write back with a few things I learned a long time ago when I had my first child. . .<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I remember when I was pregnant with my first child.  I knew nothing about babies (I did have a mother and a large network of helpful friends and relatives to call on if needed, but I was determined to show them I knew what to do and could do it myself).  I had been reading Dr. Spock's book on baby and child care for months.  I felt I had the 'book knowledge' I needed and hoped the 'practical' knowledge would just be there.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A few hours after giving birth, I walked to the newborn nursery and looked in the window at all the tiny babies and the nurses who were caring for them.  I was fascinated by the activity, and over the next few days of my hospital stay I spent hours at the window,  just watching.  I took in everything that was happening behind the scenes - diapering, bathing, feeding, burping, dressing.  I noticed how relaxed the nurses were while handling the screaming, wiggly, tiny babies.  They handled them like they wouldn't break. I was amazed at how they did everything so casually.   It gave me confidence that I could care for my baby just as well as they were.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are a few of the things I remember thinking:<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>THEY WON'T BREAK</b>.   You can handle them, bathe and clothe them, feed nd burp them and you really won't hurt the tiny beings.  Just keep a firm but gentle hold on them at all times as they are slippery when wet and very wiggly most of the time.  You can carefully bend tiny arms and legs to get them into their clothing and they really won't break.  Just be gentle.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The most important thing is making a baby feel SECURE, SAFE AND LOVED.   The nurses 'swaddled' each baby snugly in it's receiving blanket.  The baby became a small, solid package, easy to hold and it felt secure with its arms and legs safely tucked in.  When passed around to all the loving friends and family - some who had never even held a newborn - the baby felt snug and safe.  I continued the practice of swaddling for at least a month, maybe more.  My baby didn't cry very much, slept well, ate well and was very content.  I feel it was due to her feeling secure and loved; snug and swaddled.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>GET TO KNOW YOUR BABY</b>.  A baby loves to be held and talked to, touched and cuddled.  I held my baby most all the time she was awake and only put her in her cradle when she was ready to sleep. Holding your baby doesn't  'spoil'  her or make her fuss more when she is put down.  I think it's just the opposite.  It makes your baby feel secure and loved and that's the most important thing in the world for anyone to feel.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These three things got me through the days and nights of early parenthood.  My Dr. Spock book stayed close to me and I consulted  it often and looked up many, many things that first year.  My baby thrived and grew and I became smarter and smarter and soon I felt I'd become an 'expert' at motherhood.   Believe it or not, you will too!<br />
