Hosted by Chelsea as always, and this week’s questions were provided by Erin. 1. When someone asks you for a book recommendation, what is your go-to book? It depends on the person, so first I’ll find out what they like. A fiction book I wish everyone would read is A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. For girls I recommend Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.  A historical Christian memoir that blew me away was The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. I could keep going. 2. Do you buy your books, or are you a library patron? I always check the library first, unless it is a book by one of my favorite authors or one I’ve read before that I know I…

Symptoms: Pregnancy is, like, the weirdest thing ever. Seems like every week something new is happening to my body. Like how three weeks ago I ended up in the hospital because they thought I might have appendicitis but it turned out to be only a bladder infection and possibly bad gas. Then there’s the fact that all my joints have loosened and one of my ribs is now “wandering” (as my doctor put it), not quite in place anymore. Ouch. I feel this strange sensation in my left upper abdomen, on top of my ribs, that is almost like someone pressing up from the inside and moving around. I’m thinking my intestines are way up there now.

When people ask me when I’m due, I’m so used to responding, “In July, so I’ve still got a ways to go.” But now when I tell them July they say, “That’s not very far away!” And oh my goodness, it’s not. In just a little more than three months, we should have a baby in the house. I just cannot imagine it. There’s so much still that I want to get done before that time, but one of my best friends recently reminded me that getting ready for a baby isn’t like planning a wedding. If you don’t finish everything in time, you can get to it afterward. I’m trying to remember that, because my life is kind of…

That’s a quote from Tombstone, in case you were wondering, and in case you were wondering, Tombstone is one of my all-time favorite movies. Anyway. I’m checking in to give you a general update on my life, since it doesn’t seem that I’ve done that for awhile. Some things have been happening and I’d love your feedback. Pregnancy & Health Since my hospital visit a couple weeks ago, I’ve had a bit of a rough time. It took me a week and a half to recover from my cold, and during that time I had absolutely no energy. I just barely started feeling good again this week, and now for two days I’ve had a sore throat that won’t go…

This is my first month participating in Blogossip hosted by Brittney from Lamidge and Brittany from Dude Let’s Blog. I love the idea of monthly topics to focus a video blog, so I jumped right in! This month’s topic is deal breakers in the dating world, and even though I’m no longer in the dating world I still have some thoughts. I filmed this outside and couldn’t see my screen very well, so I apologize for the glazed look in my eyes and all the squinting. :) Deal Breakers from Kathleen Forbes on Vimeo.
