Discussion: BOOK 10 Speculation, and theory

"i hope you guys are right.. i sure would hate to feel this way all the way through the 9 months.. that would suck ! & it would make me really unhappy & bitc*y. i'm almost 9 wks. "

"i'm right there with you on the feelings.. * shake head * i feel evil towards him & his jollyness. i really cant stand it & the fact that he sleeps so well really eerks my nerves. sometimes i thought of poking him so he will wake up because i'm awake...lol !! i cant find a comfortable position while i sleep & it appears once i finally doze off then i have to throw up.. & he is sleep acting like all is okay.. & then he starts in the morning with all the it's just hormonal & your tripping statement. let it pass as if i have choice.. my bottom line is that i cant stand him sleeping so well at night ( it has become a fixation of mines)... weird !

"La Leche came out because my 1st wouldn't latch on. They had me all stressed and horrified, but I couldn't get food into her for 4 days! I felt like I was failing myself and my baby. The rural health nurse came out the next day, gave Brynna a bottle and lo and behold she latched on and never stopped breast feeding (never taking a bottle again) until 13 mos when I had to stop because I was preggers with my 2nd. Those who are obsessive about anything should stay away from new moms. We have enough to deal with (sitting on ice packs, freaking about taking that first BM and tearing your stitches, no sleep, hormones etc...) ITM Just do what feels right to you and don't let ANYONE tell you diff. Remember the baby is YOURS so f&^{1}amp; them if they don't agree."

"Hey All, over on Dallas' website there is a place to ask questions of CH for an upcoming interview. I asked if I have been reading the books all wrong or if I had misinterpreted Eric since she supposedly said she didn't get why fans liked him so much.

Anyway, Ask away, you never know, one of our questions might be answered by the author herself!"

"Wait a few months until you're having cravings in the middle of the night & you wake him up to get you whatever you fix those cravings & he'll do it too! After all, he's 50% of this little equation that you're carrying around with that's making you have these cravings!! Then you'll get whatever it was you craved & go back to sleep instantly & he's the one that's wide awake!!! Revenge is so sweet!!!"

"Only 3 more weeks to go babycakes and it will be smooth sailing! Go ahead and pinch him and kick him in his sleep (he did this to you) and give him some books to read about how to be supportive right now and throughout the pregnancy. It helped me (the revenge part) after I explained, my hubby was ok with it. The books help them understand what you are going through and warn them not to say anything stupid like "boy are you hormonal today" or something else equally offensive. Or, it will explain to him why you just hit him over the head with a cast iron skillet!"

"so what is this Dallas site? ppl can chat live or something about the books? ppl can ask questions but thier is no straight forward answer kind of thing? "

"Well I think we STARTED at the same place Cat but my point was that Eric is making progress on figuring it out, so I (of course) give him points for that. I think it's important that he proves here he CAN obviously learn how to give Sookie this kind of emotional support, whether it comes easily to him or not. Re Bill being better at it ... boy I always hesitate to say anything negative about Bill but... I had a friend once and we were attending a wake and Janie was buzzing around getting all the drinks and food out etc and slipped up and said enthusiastically to us "I LOVE these things!". Well we all just stared at her and she shut up LOL but I think that's kind of like Bill. Part of Bill LOVES it when Sookie is beaten down, injured or scared etc. I think it's part of Bill's personality to want to be the protector type guy, which is not all bad. I think Sookie is -- normally -- a little too strong, too self reliant or independent to match up well with Bill. Bill enjoys Sookie's weakness; Eric enjoys Sookie's strength. That oversimplifies it of course, but that's why I posted earlier that I would love to see Bill have a girlfriend who is more passive than Sookie, who needs and wants more of what he's good at, more of a clinging vine type. The difference to me is that I didn't see Bill getting better at letting go enough of Sookie -- he still hangs out in her woods and watches her etc. I do see Eric getting better at where he was weak with Sookie, the nurturing. Make sense? "
