Beautiful Monday + Links

Something happens to me when I’m pregnant.

Other than the throwing up, sudden compulsion to be a couch potato, and the joy of growing a brand-new little person…

I forget how to blog.

Seriously, my first pregnancy? I blogged about ten times total. My excuse reason was that I was sick for the first 16-20 weeks.

And this time? Well, I’m more sickly than sick. So I should be able to blog, right?

I’m having difficulties. My right Shift key is broken, thanks to leaving my keyboard within reach of little curious fingers for about 10 seconds. So now I am using my right Shift key. And it’s much harder than you might think to switch. (Seriously, try it. It’s annoying, especially when you’re typing a question mark.)

I had nothing to say tonight, as usual, but I was determined not to be silent for another day. So it’s sort of a weakly-explain-my-absence, and give-you-a-few-awesome-links post. (These posts made me want to blog again, though I couldn’t think of anything to say.)

Amy (I just love her and her blog; I’ve been reading there for probably almost four years) is writing an amazing series about the birth of her second child. It’s not your typical birth story. So far she’s written Prelude, A Doula Provided, Waiting, and Finally, Labor Begins.

If you’ve ever experienced a kitchen disaster you will laugh like I did at this post by my friend Cheyenne: A Lesson in Home-making.

Rebecca shared a heartbreaking story about her work with kids in ::falling apart at the seams day::. I really admire her ministry and her heart.

I love most things Kat writes, and her post today, Is God Safe?, was one of those especially meaningful ones for me.

I’m afraid that’s all for tonight. I’ve been reading your blogs but I’ve been a terrible commenter. Here’s hoping my blogging brain becomes refreshed and inspired!
