I just finished reading Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. Anyone else read it? I enjoyed it. Anyway, it brings up the issue of overpopulation. What do you all think?

Is it environmentally irresponsible to have children? More than two?

Was pregnant, then had a miscarriage. Four weeks later I took a test and it came back positive. So now I'm waiting on the blood work. I would think it's impossible to have a miscarriage and still be pregnant, but it happened with my DD - I must have miscarried a twin that time. Problem is I'm not sure what I'm wishing for at this point. I've spent the last four weeks drinking as much as I want, which on 3-5 occasions meant 3-4 drinks. That would have been during weeks 7-11. Eek.

I've been back into reading mode lately and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I love getting lost in books. Last weekend I read Coop. It was a great read. I'm such an urban girl, not even very interested in growing herbs (they are so cheap at the farmers market!), but for some reason I love ready about folks making life on a farm.

Now I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife, which I also like. I'm also re-reading a number of pregnancy/birth books since I'm on month three of TTC #2!

So...What are you reading?

My BFF is being put to sleep for a few days. She had a baby on Monday, who has been in NICU since. He'll be fine, and so will she, but her liver is in distress and she has to be on bedrest. She's pre-e. I didn't even know that was possible post-partum, but I guess it is. Her milk came in today and she can't even go see her baby down the hall in NICU, let alone nurse him. Tomorrow, if she's awake, we'll Skype with him.

Can you imagine. This is such a nightmare.

Hold your babes close tonight and count your blessings. Life is precarious.
