Lots of movement - maybe it will work?

We went in for the Moxibustion this morning. Very interesting treatment. David learned to burn incense about 1/4" from my pinkie toes! It takes about 20 minutes and we have to do it 2 - 3 times a day for the next week or so and see if it works. Incidentally, it's not the good-smelling incense...it smells like we're smoking something illegal!

The good news is, she has not stopped wiggling around since we finished! It's been about 3 hrs of solid twitching/kicking/movement! I'm really thinking this can work, especially if I lay upside-down for a while afterwards.

Who would have thought a warm pinkie toe could move a baby??! It sounds really weird, but I'm encouraged by the wiggling...!

If anyone is curious, here is a YouTube video that the Acupuncturist showed us. The stuff we're using is a little different as it is the smoking moxa stick, but it's the same basic idea.

It sure does sound funny - but I'm glad to hear she's moving around a lot. Maybe it will work!
