Hey, no worries on “State of Wonder.” I love agreeing to disagree. But you’re with me now on saying any woman who’s been pregnant could certainly tell anyone else why you wouldn’t want to do it when you’re seventy! Or 60, or 50, or really, if I’m being honest, at 36 (as I was).

Did you HAVE the baby? Seems like you have…I hope all is well with you.

Ha!! I feel exactly the same way about Caitlin Flanagan… most recently while reading her essay about Joan Didion in The Atlantic.

I’m glad you can already see through a lot of the judgmental books out there that tell you that there’s one right way to be a parent. Yes, just like there’s only one kind of kid. Sometimes I wish I could have another child (well, I could, but I’m happy with just one) just to see what it would be like to go through the early months without the paranoia and crippling guilt about being a “bad mom.” I hope you can avoid all that. Do what works for you and your child. I ended up using the Ferber method to get my son to sleep, but only because it’s what he needed (and hell, after 10 months of waking up several times in the middle of the night, it’s what I needed too). Other families do great with the methods suggested in The No-Cry Sleep Solution (and think Ferber is Satan), but it didn’t work for us.

And, for the record, I didn’t read much in those early months, but once my son was about 1, I had plenty of time to read (not as much as before, certainly, but enough).

Best of luck with everything!

Thanks! Yeah, just books I’ve read. I never do get out any more, so I have no idea what’s actually happening. I think you’d like the Alexandra Styron book.

Oh wow, I wish I had known about Alexandra Styron. Was this a Party Lights gig or one at the library?
