Asana

I had so much fun this afternoon while The Daughter was NAK/sleeping. Looky what I did! You can change my asana. Go ahead, give it a whirl. My only disclaimer: I took the pictures myself. Let me tell you, it is not so easy to get correctly into a posture while that little red light on my camera is blinking and warning me that it's about to go off.... so my postures aren't entirely perfect. I'll get The Husband to take correct ones later. I was just so excited about my little new feature, I wanted to put it up.

In other news, the hospital told us that The Daughter will have to be sedated if we get the ultrasound. They recommended I re-confer with our pediatrician to determine if he thinks it is necessary given that information. He is hesitant to say yes or no but he basically said "Were it my child, I would." I'll go on record as saying that this particular pediatrician is the one who is very conservative when it comes to allopathic overuse of standard medicines such as antibiotics. He is the one that recommended I not given The Daughter antibs a few weeks ago when the other pediatrician recommended them. He's totally okay with our alternative health decisions and he's generally a pretty cool dude. He even referred The Husband out to acupuncture for his IBS-related problems. So, I'm not sure what to do at this point. Research is difficult to do since we don't know what we are dealing with - a normal innocent murmur or a murmur indicative to something else that we'd only see with the echocardiogram.

I'm off to yoga, put some meditation time into thinking on this. Namaste.

OMG, I'm having too much fun with that! You are so beautiful btw! I only wish I could do those positions. I really need to whip out my yoga tapes : )

Why would she need to be sedated? We've never had to sedate for Chuckie's US's. And if sedation is necesary and you decide to go ahead with the US do you have to use their stuf or can you use some kind of herb or something else for sedation? {if they still use cloral hydrate I highly recommend against it..it is nasty stuff}

{{{Julie and Seren}}} What a difficult decision to make.

Question-why does my yoga teacher call the child pose "garbasan"? Is there a difference in the names between the different methods?

They said she'd have to be sedated due to her age and that to get a clear and accurate picture of her heart, she'd have to be still. Yea it is the chlora one. We are leaning towards a wait approach. We are going to talk to the specialist to see what the risks are if she were to have a defect.

Garbasan? Never heard child's pose referred to as that. There are some different names depending on which yoga practice you are doing. Mudhasana is the sanskrit word for child's pose. I did a search on garbasan and can't find that anywhere. You should ask your teacher :)

well it's possible I spelled it wrong...but she definitely pronounces it with a G- gar-BAH-san. Hmmm...off to look for the correct spelling! (she is a Kripalu teacher, by the way)
