    Hello Laura (and all!) I just am catching up on posts here and saw
    this one.  There was a great string of dialogue in Orchid Archives
    back in July 2000 - under the subject: "Pregnancy Concerns" and also
    in April 1999 - under the subject header: "Safety in Pregnancy". 

    Also, I wanted to direct you to an article titled "Business and
    Babies" by Suzanne Wade back in Sept. 2000.  It featured several
    Orchid members.  You can read it online at the Lapidary Journal site:
    http://www.lapidaryjournal.com/feature/sep00str.cfm 

    It seems that Naomi had the same experience as I did - of diving
    into a "lower tech" aspect of our work for those pregnancy and early
    years.  I am very happy to currently be "complicating" my life with
    more complex pieces now, but I have no regrets to those years of
    stepping back and setting major limitations as to the direction of my
    work.  Children are definitely a priority. 

    For me, the kids were my "sculptures" at that point in time and it
    was very worthwhile to make the life changes necessary to have and
    raise healthy children.  So, yes, I encourage you to eat well and
    think well . . to make sensible choices. . . . and I'm sure all will
    be well! 

Best wishes to you. . .
Cynthia
