Most of my problem is I was raised Catholic and birth control is a no-no, even for health reasons. I have to ask for alternatives.

Please check out my blog: http://clayxmatthewsxfan89.blogspot.com/

[Charles Wallace possessed by IT, says to Meg]: ‘Mrs. Whatsit hates you,’ Charles Wallace said. And that is where IT made ITS fatal mistake, for as Meg said, automatically, ‘Mrs. Whatsit loves me; that’s what she told me, that she loves me,’ suddenly she knew. She knew! Love. That was what she had that IT did not have. She had Mrs. Whatsit’s love, her father’s, and her mother’s , and the real Charles Wallace’s love, and the twins’ and Aunt Beast. And she had love for them. But, how could she use it? What was she meant to do? If she could give love to IT perhaps it would shrivel up and die, for she was sure IT could not withstand love. But her in all her weakness was incapable of loving IT. But, she could love Charles Wallace. She could stand there and love Charles Wallace. Her own Charles Wallace, the real Charles Wallace. I love you. Charles Wallace, you are my darling and my dear and the light of my life and the treasure of my heart. I love you. I love you. I love you." (228-229)

Bob, you can make believe they're yours ... although that doesn't help with the cuddling part of things, I guess. Actually, you're right about how full your hands will be once the baby is born. It's probably best to wait and see how things go with your child first.

How about a stuffed kitty in the meantime? Something the baby could play with, too.

Jessica: sorry you are having so much trouble right now- I deal with hypothyroidism- take armour thyroid- also have five tumors on my thyroid- they watch it close- I was referred to an endocrinologist for monitoring- ever considered going to one of those docs?

yeah--- stuffed kitty Bob! You can go to build a bear and make one! So much fun! Plus- you can't play with cat litter right now anyways... good move to wait (but don't rule them out... they are awesome!)

Thanks, Jessica. Sounds like it'd be painful. I'm sorry you've yet another thing to deal with. Your plate is pretty full already! I marvel at all you are able to do!
