Stone sheepfold John 10:22-30 Recently my boys have been spending a great deal of time outside in the area that will soon be transformed into our garden. They spend endless hours digging in the dirt for worms. They then promptly take those worms and throw them to the chickens. It amazes me how even chickens can learn to recognize sounds or voices. My oldest makes this funny high-pitched sound when he comes out of the house and heads toward the coop. The chickens practically fall over themselves running toward the fence or out of the coop when they hear him making his sound. They know there is food to follow!

I'm pregnant actually, and we're expecting this month. However, sometime back around week 30, I began sharing some of my breastfeeding concerns with my midwife. Just general things I'd read that might foul up my best efforts. One concern was milk production and having enough to feed our baby. She actually told me to send my husband out for a six pack the week the baby comes, and just have * a FEW SIPS * each evening until my milk supply changes over from colostrum to regular milk. Her reason was that the way things get fermented and yeasty in beer actually works chemically with the hormones that encourage milk production.
Obviously, I'm not to have any in pregnancy, and I'm not to even drink the whole bottle. Just a few sips. I was really skeptical about this but I've done some research and reading on the issue and she seems to have good science behind it. I'm not sure yet if I'll be brave when baby arrives in the next week or so, but we'll see.
Although, I doubt my midwife would endorse it as a "stimulating tonic"! (LOL)
My grandmother swore by it to induce delivery. ;-)
