I’m glad you liked it. I thought the struggle with motherhood was a major theme of the book, though. She talks later, when she’s watching the new territorial university being built, about how she would like to be more educated, and she comes to some conclusion about how motherhood is like a tree, and it shades and grows and the roots and leaves and everything make it so that learning can be a part of her life, that she can learn just as well, maybe different things, as a mother.

(of course, being a mother, I might have read a lot more significance into all of her musings on motherhood.)

It’s Lindsay. I meant to code that into the page. Oh, now I remember why I didn’t—I got sidetracked in making sure I spelled it right. (My other friends and relatives are Lyndsay, Lindsey, Lindsey, so I try not to mess up their spellings!)

My fault for going to Facebook to check the spelling.

@Stephanie—I’m afraid to taint my experience with TIMW with the sequels, you know, if they’re not as good. I’m waiting for someone I know to read them first, LOL. I should probably just check out GoodReads.

@Elisa—I hear you. Never can get enough sleep. I hate taking naps (feels like a waste of time, which I know you understand, plus they make me grumpy), but during the newborn phase it’s totally a necessary evil.

@Brooke—Why does everyone have to point out how bald I was? Once we read a book in my book club with a twist ending and you couldn’t talk about the book without discussing that, so we had to tell the people who hadn’t finished the ending.

I loved that book too! I read it for book club and only one other person finished and it was so hard not to talk about the ending! I havent read the sequels though…

Look how cute she is and look at all that hair! You know she didn’t get that from you…Can’t wait to see her in only TWO weeks!

on my ‘to read’ list. You’ll have to tell me what you think of the sequels.

I have managed to take “me” time since Gwen was newborn, and I know it helps. For the first 7 months my biggest indulgence was going back to bed during her first nap. That was “me” time times 10 because it WASN’T something I would normally allow myself, but absolutely required to be happy (on less sleep, being a mom is ridiculously hard for me!).

I didn’t know there were sequels. I loved “These is my words.” I’ll have to try the sequels.
