We Welcome another, Jackson Presley...one day after Ricky

They say things come in threes and boy did it when these women, Val first and then Katie and then Renne' all conceived at once and gave birth within two weeks.

On April 16th Jackson Presley, Katie's baby arrived all in one hour of labor once her water broke.

He arrived exactly on his due date. We can at least say he might always be an on time kind of person. In hindsight, I kind of feel like I already know my babies before they arrive; after all they evolve from one tiny single cell...the largest in the body by the way.

Funny Katie, I have been listening to Elvis Presley from a CD of a friend and I remember your husband wanted to name him Elvis after him, but you compromised and chose to use his last name, Presley for your son's middle name and the place of Elvis's birth, I believe for his first name. I love Elvis's ballads by the way. Lullaby's for baby Presley...JP right?

I look forward to meeting him! Congrats on this amazing miracle of life.

May all my women feel this beauty in their hearts and know it there first, for it is the heart that supplies the blood to the womb and when it stays open and trusting and is at peace, the pituitary can make a better connection from the ovaries, uterus and the loop that connects the heart to them and ultimately to the hypothalmus of the brain that says yes, let's make this connection.

Everyday I assit this process in opening up this pathway so ovulation can occur and to nourish your essence, your eggs, your uterus and yes even men's sperm all by opening up blood flow and the nourishment comes from the Chinese Herbs and the supplements and food I recommend to you. My Blessings to all of you, I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Everyone!

Richard Kenneth Sullivan " Ricky" came into the world on 4/15/09 @ 11:03 am. He weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 21in long. He is just the sweetest thing on the face of this earth and he is absolutely perfect! (no funny alien looking baby here)!!!! I'll send more pics soon! Enjoy! XOXO- Renee'

It is amazing that exactly a year ago today Renee was at my Fertility Forum listening to my other women with success speak. She came with her Mom. Renee is 40 years old and at the end of 3 months of acupuncture she was pregnant with Ricky after a devasting miscarriage and several rounds of clomid. See her video and success story on my site.

Blood is like Sunshine & Water to your Eggs & Uterus

"Can egg quality be improved? Think of it like this, the eggs are like beautiuful little flowers that need lots of sunshine and water to thrive and thick rich soil to grow in. " I quote this notation from Dr. Mike Berkley, a very wise practitioner and teacher who practices in NY. "Blood flow makes all the difference. Blood is a messenger that carries nutrients, hormones, oxygen, and electrolytes to the ovaries(the soil) and to the eggs themselves. Blood makes a return trip from the ovaries too. On its way back, it takes dead cells(known as debris) away from the ovaries. This delivery of the 'good' and excretion of the 'bad' is the rain and sunshine the ovaries need to improve the follicles and the eggs.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine answer this call beautifully. They are efficeint methods for improving blood flow. And amazingly, after a period of treatment with acupuncture and herbs we see the FSH start to go down!" But this is not only true for FSH levels which in turn affect follicular and oocyte health but for the quality of the uterus lining as well.
Thanks Mike for this insight! I love reading your blog musings and hope you do not mind I quote you if you ever read mine.

Mama Val and Baby Rachal

Double click to see how beautiful up close. Are these two not Ms. April calender girls?

Baby Rachal has arrived!!

We are pleased to announce last Wed. March 31 at 12:37 AM Val finally had her baby girl. Isn't she beautiful and so tiny only 6 lbs something. Very sweet! Val is still recovering I think but very very happy.

When we think back to last year, Val along with her husband had attended my Fertility Forum in April with hopes of conceiving yet feeling disillusioned since Val has PCOS. Not only did she conceive but she conceived with no assitance other than with acupuncture and Chinese Herbs.

Congrats to Val and Justin!

Soon Baby Jackson will be on his way. Katie came in yesterday and said she had some mild cramping. We did not try to induce but simply tried to keep her energy up and maintain things until her due date of April 16th, as Katie indicated she has far too much to do until then.
