The wait is over! On the 5th August, 2008 at 4:05 pm, we gave birth to our beautiful daughter Kaia Rei Tham (pronounced – Ky ‘ Ya). It means Pure of Spirit. She was born healthy and safely at HOME with our two midwives. She weighted 3.4 Kg / 7.48 lbs and 51.5 cm long. Kaia had her first adjustment in the water within 45 minutes of birth (she had her hand stuck on her head on the way out – putting a bit of stress on her neck!)
Both Karen and I are doing well and are very happy and lucky to have had a great home birth. No intervention, just a natural birth! It is simply amazing to see the power of the body, and what it naturally does, function and create!
I hope you enjoy the video that I have made – it made me a little emotional, so be prepared! (Then again, I am sure it is just my hormones!)
Baby Lucas came to our office with colic and was not a happy baby at all! With just a few gentle chiropractic adjustments, Lucas and his mom were over the moon with how quickly he was able sleep and be in a much more peaceful and calmer mood – allowing him start life in a happier state of mind!
Tick Tock Tick Tock… a baby is coming! Karen and I are getting ever closer to the arrival of our first child. The home is prepared, midwives are ready and the birthing pool has been tested! What we don’t know is WHEN, the WEIGHT and SEX of the baby! So I thought we would run a competition for my clients and see if any of you can tell us what we do not know! So, CLICK HERE to submit when you think the baby will arrive, what the sex of the baby will be and the baby’s weight! When the baby arrives, we will see which one of you has guessed right! Best of luck!
P.S. There will be a prize for the winner… so CLICK HERE to submit your best guess!
Hi everyone,
This month has been a busy one, as we prepare for the birth of my first child! So I decided to try a new format on the newsletter… so let me know what you think. Here is the link to this months SMART Wellness Tips – http://www.drlaurencetham.com/?page_id=79
Who do you believe when it comes to health for your family?
There is so much information in this “Information Age” that we are simply do not know where to turn to and who to believe.
We are in a state of Attention Overload! In my seminars, I start by saying that we have all become ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). We do not seem to be able to focus on any one thing or one advise anymore because there is just too much conflicting info to go through – so we end up doing NOTHING! Well, I thought I can give you a hand in this manner. I have always try to keep things simple for my clients in terms of their health. The best advise on health sometimes come from plain old common sense! So I develop a simple method to achieving health – it is the S.M.A.R.T. way to health. SMART stands for S – Superfoods, M – Movement, A – Attitude, and R.T. – Reduce Toxins. To strive for health, there is never a magic pill to achieve this. It requires a multiple approach to gain the maximum benefit. In the upcoming newsletter that will be released soon, it will contain a suggestion for each these areas. These areas will cover all you need to do to gain greater health and wellbeing for you and your family. I look forward to your comments and any suggestions that you may have on the newsletter and its content.
