Plus, if you need to laugh, my go-to book is A Girl Named Zippy and its sequel She Got Up Off The Couch by Haven Kimmel.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200518427119344743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665371132768757845.post-66200440214305444702012-05-25T18:55:00.547-07:002012-05-25T18:55:00.547-07:00Uh, the word "asker" was SUPPOSED to be ...Uh, the word "asker" was SUPPOSED to be "easier." this iPad, I tell you!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200518427119344743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665371132768757845.post-42542918607966958192012-05-25T18:53:34.576-07:002012-05-25T18:53:34.576-07:00Hey, Michelle! I'll confess rather rudely that...Hey, Michelle! I'll confess rather rudely that I don't actually struggle from much morning sickness. With Camryn, I did feel very nauseated that first trimester but never threw up, but with Tamsin and this baby, it's like a low-level feeling of blah. Nothing to even complain about. I am very, very lucky in this, partly because I have a crippling fear of throwing up and I know the Lord knows if I were super sick with my first baby, I wouldn't have more than one!!! But the price to pay for easy breezy pregnancies is the worst, most mind-warping, soul-crushing, anger-inducing PPD in the world. Where I feel nothing for my children but near mania-inducing irritation and depression and a desperation to leave my house and never, ever come back. And it lasts on and off for over a year with each baby. I wonder what it's like to look forward to a baby, because in the back of my mind, I know another year of PPD is coming. We're actually considering a move to CA to be near Karl's awesome mom because I won't survive another round of PPD on my own. We have few friends and no ward support here in Draper. At least, nothing beyond a week of meals. I want to be excited and have faith that this will be asker this time, but it's so, so scary when it happens that I can't help but feel trepidation and dread. I AM taking more steps to handle it when it comes, but...I spend a lot of time being angry with the Lord for giving me this trial. But blessing after blessing tells me I've been given this trial for a reason, and that if I endure it well, I will be able to turn and help others who are suffering in a way that no one else can. AND I DO NOT WANT THIS BURDEN! But this last year has taught me that this, in fact, is what Christ did for me through the atonement. And when I was baptized, I promised to show the same love and service for those around me. It has given me a perspective I could not have gained any other way. I'd just like to know, WHY DOES LIFE HAVE TO BE SO PAINFUL SOMETIMES?!? <br /><br />That being said, I have my first doctor's appointment next week, and my estimated due date is Dec. 15th. But because I get cholestasis, I'll be induced at 38 weeks. So more like Dec. 1st or thereabouts! Nice in a way, because then Christas won't be quite so crazy.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200518427119344743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665371132768757845.post-54029267406542569172012-05-25T08:56:04.674-07:002012-05-25T08:56:04.674-07:00I'm feeling a little sick just reading about y...I'm feeling a little sick just reading about you being sick... so I'm sorry! That really is the worst thing in the entire world! I wish I was there to feed your kids for you, since you fed me practically every day. :)<br />As for books... Crossing to Safety is a beautiful book. I think you'd really enjoy it. Also, The Ladies Auxiliary. Kind of a fun book... reminded me of the Relief Society. The Art of Racing in the Rain... very good! And Manhunt, about John Wilkes Booth... super great! <br />Are you on Goodreads? You should join and then look me up (Jolee B) and you can see all the books I've read. It's kind of a fun way to do it.<br />PS, loved your comment on my blog! Thank you for understanding my point!

It's a fun book that basically is the history of how the house evolved from Medieval times to present. It has short little chapters on things like the history of toilet paper, heating and lighting, closets, etc. Maybe I'm a dork and like reading about trivial stuff like that, but I've found it so interesting.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839065941981436145noreply@blogger.com
