Still happy to be pregnant ... not ready for sleepless nights, birth recovery, the ups and downs of BFing quite yet. However, with trips to the restroom at night increasing, my hips and back and pelvis getting more and more sore, and feeling lightheaded frequently (which gets in the way of getting things done and leaving the house), I think I'm fast approaching the point of much enjoying the baby much more than being pregnant any longer.
One-Minute Organizing Tips
For Kids: In a young child's closet, install a tension rod at a reachable height and raise it as the child grows.

Anne Lamott: Traveling Mercies : Some Thoughts on Faith
Obviously, I'm on a religious journey kick (see below). I expect Lamott's exploration of her journey towards faith will be just as moving and laugh-out-loud funny as "Operating Instructions".Kerry M. Olitzky: Jewish Ritual: A Brief Introduction For Christians
For anyone who has ever been curious about different Jewish customs, where they come from and their historical and spiritual significance, this is the book for you. (*****)Ruth Irene Garrett: Crossing Over: One Woman's Escape from Amish Life

What the Shookie is Reading
Don Freeman: Corduroy (Picture Puffins)
A childhood favorite of mine, I'm enjoying sharing this very sweet story with the Shookie now. (****)Ludwig Bemelmans: Madeline
The Shookie is completely enamored with Mad-e-line, as he says it. A true classic. (****)JEAN DE BRUNHOFF: The Story of Babar (Babar Books (Random House))
The Babar books were some of my favorite as a child, and I'm pleased that the Shookie has also taken an interest in them as well. (****)
Yeah, it's nice how God makes those last months of pregnancy so miserable that we're actually willing to embrace the "joys" of a newborn! :-)
