February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

A Side Note, On A Personal Note, Parent's Just Don't Understand · February 16, 2011

The Seven Year Baby Itch


My daughter at 2

My little Princess turns seven tomorrow. Boy, how time flies. But enough about that. Lately, I have been getting the baby itch. I have several girlfriends who are either pregnant or just had a baby recently. And they look awesomely cute and cuddly, I could just bite them. And I start to reminisce on the days when my son and my daughter were babies (some 16 and 7 years ago), and I begin to feel that internal clock ticking as I begin to long for another baby.

It comes in spurts—I will be watching television and see a precious baby which makes me ooh and aww. Or I will sit and remember how my son used to scoot on the floor before he started walking or how my daughter couldn’t go anywhere without people  fawning over her in her stroller. The late night bottle feedings when I would sing for them or give them a bath in the sink (yes, you read right, the sink)—I miss all of that.

At 35 years of age, I pretty much feel like it’s over for my womb. But I also know that if I really wanted to, it wouldn’t be too late for me to conceive without a problem. I go back and forth as to whether I want to go for another one or not—when I think of the challenge of me being able to travel for opportunities and appearances, I tend to think having a little one wouldn’t be good for my career. But when I think of trying to have just one more to complete my family, I get a little emotional. When I had my son, it was 10 years before I had another child. And now it would be 7 to 8 years between another child so….I haven’t a clue what to do.

This all could be hormones and simply nothing else. Or it could be a true and intense desire to try for mommyhood again.

I love the freedom that I have now. But I also love being a mom.

    I totally understand where you are coming from. How are you with letting go of the control of it and seeing what happens? Let God be in control? All I can suggest is to pray on it and talk to the mister long and hard. It is a huge decision and a tough one no matter where you are in your life.

    Love ya girl.

    There really isn’t a perfect time to have kids. When you’re young you are either too young or in school. Then you are trying to get your foot in the door and once it’s in then you have so much work to do that your life is super busy.

    God knows best….and if you have a virtual baby shower for all your online friends let me know.

    I haven’t had my first yet and I just turned 37. I’m unsure if it will happen, that’s in God’s hands. I love kids so hopefully I will be blessed if it’s in His plan for my life. Maybe you’ll be blessed with another one. I know whenever I see babies I go to pieces but then I think about all I want to do. I’m all over the place and sadly my clock is ticking fast…

      Kim, the thought is fleeting as I go back and forth between wanting another and staying with what I have, It comes and goes. Like you said, it’s in God’s hands.
