Saturday’s Blessways was wonderful! We had a great turn-out of mamas and papas. Earth Fare was such a gracious host location so we have booked the community room through June. Earth Fare donated colorful organic baby socks for each expectant couple and brought in yummy baby products to test.
Erin did free henna art on all our participants. She even did some henna on a nursing baby’s bald head! I wish I’d snapped a picture. I’ve booked Erin to henna my belly when it gets a bit bigger. She would be a wonderful addition to a baby shower or mother blessing. Erin is new to our community and is building her art business–she does murals, face painting, henna, and more. You can contact her at erinzyart[at]aol[dot]com.
Dr. Feiste was so entertaining! He passed around a gomco clamp and talked about the science (or lack thereof) and history of circumcision. He was a really interesting pediatrician–a great option if you’re in the Clemson, Seneca, Oconee, Anderson area.
Natalie gave chair massages or (in my case) belly rubs to all the pregnant moms. Natalie gives great belly rubs! And Mary shared her two very different homebirth stories.
Don’t miss our next Blessingways! Always the 4th Saturday of the month from 2pm-4pm. In April, we’ll hear a positive hospital birth story and our topic will be Breastfeeding.
Inexplicable Ways 
I liked how Dr. Feiste wasn’t as opinionated as he was eager to assist new parents in making the right decision for their child. He seemed like a cool doctor. And I think he may have brought the subject of circumcision into perspective for my husband 🙂
