Sarah Palin, who is an idiot and therefore just doesn't get it, proudly told a pro-life conference that she considered an abortion before choosing to have Trig.
Usually everything Sarah Palin says is a lie, but her well-documented attempt to conceal the pregnancy and the fact that she got that amniocentesis point to a genuine intention to terminate the pregnancy, until she thought it over some more and chose to carry Trig to term.
She thought this was a really great anecdote to share with a group that thinks that she should not have legally been provided with the option she didn't choose.
And they all probably loved her little speech anyway because, hey, she may be a moron, but she's their moron.

We've been busy around here... and it's been a little stressful. First we had our anniversary, which was nice and low key. I can't believe it's been 5 yrs since we ran off to Canada and got married! And now that the 10th has passed, I can't believe it's been 11 years since our first date! It's been a long, hard trip for us, full of problems and struggles but it's nice to feel like things are falling back in to place and that we're moving forward in a positive way. We've been doing marriage counseling for the last 4 months and it's helped so much. We have had a really hard time communicating for so long, and it's really opened things up and removed a lot of what we thought were problems, but were really just miscommunications. It's nice to feel close again. Things seemed pretty hopeless for awhile so it's really nice to feel hopeful!
After our anniversary we started the switch - moving our bedroom to our family room, and our family room to our bedroom. If you've ever been in my house, you'll know that my family room was a deeeeep dark red color and desperately needed to be painted. We chose a nice calm, neutral color called Gobi Desert. I'm not totally happy with putting my bedroom in this room because there are no windows, so there's no breeze, which I hate. But on the plus side - You know how when you go to a hotel and you use those blackout curtains and you can sleep all day and not know what time it is? It's like that. The pic on the left is new, and on the right is how it used to be. It's also much bigger now, with room for the changing table, baby's dresser & bassinet.
We hit a HUGE roadblock when we moved our bed into the new room. The very first night sleeping in bed, I woke up (with a terrible toothache) and heard this 'tap, tap, tap' sound. I put my arm out and water splashed on it. It turns out our upstairs toilet had started leaking (coincidentally on the same day we painted the ceiling, yay!) and was dripping through the floor. It took us a couple days to find the source of the leak and stop it - but we did. But for now, we've moved our bed onto a different wall.
Our family room is nice. Now it's the open, airy room. Lots of light and lots of room. We've done a lot of sorting and throwing things away, and moving furniture to other parts of the house to keep things more simple and nice. I am enjoying getting organized. It feels good. I don't have a pic of the family room right now. I'll wait until I've got some art on the walls or something. It's boring right now.
As far as baby news goes, well there's no 'real' news to speak of. I'm 35 wks pregnant and sort of miserable! I'm excited for her to be born and to meet her and give her kisses and smell her little head. I've been knitting and sewing and making things to give her:
I've got some more works in progress. A little pinafore, a cabled owl vest, and various other things but I'll show you pictures of them when they're finished.
In Devan news, well, she's silly as usual. She's on spring recess right now and has been watching lots of movies because it is NOT warm out. I think it's supposed to warm up towards the end of the week so we can hopefully get out of the house or have a playdate outside or something. She's excited to be a big sister (as long as it's not on her birthday!) and she likes the new bedroom/family room arrangement. I'll be back soon with a shorter, more interesting post (hopefully!)
