I started and finished Gone Girl today. It started off the way I expected it to, then revved up in the 2nd part. I heard many people say they hated the ending, but despite that, I actually was ok with its conclusion. For those who hated it, how else would you have ended such a story? It is definitely worth the read. I heard Reese Witherspoon is tied to the movie deal. She doesn't do it for me to play this role though. Needs someone with more edge. More WTF, PSYCHO-ness.
I need another book.
I am 15 weeks this week. I am starting to feel a little better, a little like my old self. I still get pukey and gag a bit, but it's not as bad as before. And I think the spit production is weaning. Thank the good Lord. Food is tasting marginally better but it's definitely not the same. Like Mr. Ho said, I can't wait till I get to the "let's eat everything" phase. This phase sucks.
Olivia is just the cutest ball of cute these days. Yes, defiant and will throw a pretty good tantrum. But the things that come out of her mouth just crack me up or make me smile endlessly. She'll randomly tell me she misses me, which I think she thinks means love, and give me big hugs. Or come up to me and say, "best friends!" and hug. When I take her for a potty break, she'll say, "thanks for telling me." If she likes the food we serve her, she'll say, "umma/appa, good cook! yummy tummy!" She'll hug her dolls or stuffed animals and say, "[name of doll] love me!" When she knocks over her legos or ruins whatever she's building, she'll say, "try again!" with no hint of frustration. She's just a happy, loving, positive, bundle of everything I could ever ask for. This age is just so fun.
To bed I go.

Oh boy, it seems like it has been awhile since I have read the blog as I am just able to post to this! 1) Gone Girl: I think I would have just liked an ending, I felt like they left so much open (which I hate, they are the writer, not me-finish it) or at least told us, dont worry book 2 is on the way.
2)Did you get my text RE our next book? My mom just read "the light between oceans" by ML Stedman and she raved about it. I am going to read it at the beach Labor Day weekend.
3) Glad you are feeling better. And Oli is just the cutest!
