There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what his name is. God was gracious enough to answer, and the name he gave is recorded in the original Hebrew as YHWH.

Over time we’ve arbitrarily added an “a” and an “e” in there to get YaHWeH, presumably because we have a preference for vowels.

But scholars and Rabi’s have noted that the letters YHWH represent breathing sounds, or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without intervening vowels, it actually sounds like breathing.

YH (inhale): WH (exhale).

So a baby’s first cry, his first breath, speaks the name of God.

A deep sigh calls His name – or a groan or gasp that is too heavy for mere words.

Even an atheist would speak His name, unaware that their very breath is giving constant acknowledgment to God.

Likewise, a person leaves this earth with their last breath, when God’s name is no longer filing their lungs.

So when I can’t utter anything else, is my cry calling out His name?

Being alive means I speak His name constantly.
So, is it heard the loudest when I’m the quietest?

In sadness, we breathe heavy sighs.
In joy, our lungs feel almost like they will burst.
In fear we hold our breath and have to be told to breathe slowly to help us calm down.
When we’re about to do something hard, we take a deep breath to find our courage.

When I think about it, breathing is giving him praise. Even in the hardest moments!

This is so beautiful and fills me with emotion every time I grasp the thought. God chose to give himself a name that we can’t help but speak every moment we’re alive.

All of us, always, everywhere.
Waking, sleeping, breathing, with the name of God on our lips.

*** SEEKING LACTATING PEOPLE FOR EDUCATIONAL FL**GE FITTING VIDEOS***
👩🏽‍🍼🤱🤱🏻
I'm updating the videos that I use for my courses and presentations for lactation professionals and parents/parents-to-be, and in order to do that, I need videos of fl**ge fitting sessions.

If you are lactating (or can share this with someone who is) AND you live within driving distance to Northborough, Massachusetts...consider being a volunteer for one of my fl**ge fitting and pumping educational videos. What do you get out of this? You'll get to keep the fl**ges that work best for you and learn some tips about pumping!!

Your face will NOT be in the video, by the way. A consent form and photo/video release will need to be signed.

Even if you have already had a fl**ge fitting with me or someone else, you are welcome to volunteer.

📲👩🏾‍💻 Please reach out to me directly if you are interested. jeanette@babiesincommon.com

Pregnancy brain, anyone?

During pregnancy, a woman's brain shrinks in size.

This is why some pregnant women may experience small, sometimes subtle deficits in tasks, like recalling items from a list they have studied, or remembering to do certain things in the future.

After delivering the baby, it would take up to six months for the mother's brain to regain its original size. The cells in the brain reduce in size without reducing in number. In other words, neuron density remains the same, which is why the brain capacity returns to normal after childbirth.

A study published in Nature Neuroscience revealed that pregnant women experience a decrease in gray matter in specific brain regions responsible for social cognition and forming attachments. However, this loss of gray matter actually enhances a mother's feelings of attachment to her baby and improves her ability to understand their needs and emotions.

Using MRI scans, researchers examined the brains of pregnant women before and after giving birth. They discovered that the reduction in gray matter in specific brain regions actually improves the brain's efficiency in understanding nonverbal cues from newborns.

This change enables mothers to quickly identify potential dangers and enhances their emotional connection with their babies. The first study was published in the American Journal of Neuroradiology, and it’s entitled, “Change in brain size during and after pregnancy: study in healthy women and women with preeclampsia”. The second study was published in Nature Neuroscience and it’s entitled, “Pregnancy leads to long-lasting changes in human brain structure”

Sometimes families can’t imagine birthing with anyone else, that repeat clients drive all the way from places like Virginia to have a baby.

While older siblings slept, the family dog watched a beautiful baby girl born tonight in an Airbnb in West Brookfield. The midwives quietly bustled around washing dishes, and laundry, picking up toys and preparing the space for a new day as mom and dad counted each little finger and toe.

If walls could talk!

When pregnancies are early and it’s difficult to hear a fetal heart beat, it can leave families feeling disheartened and concerned. We are so grateful to have a handheld ultrasound available to watch a heartbeat and baby bounce around, easing an anxious mind.
