Derek and I and the boys went to see Eclipse on the weekend. It was part of our anniversary night out, but we took the boys because I always find it ridiculous to have a movie date and sit beside OTHER people’s kids when I could be sitting with my own. Maybe we’ll go out for dinner alone next weekend.

I was happy to hear Oprah’s interview with Twilight star Taylor Lautner (Jacob) where he said he never drank or smoke. (My husband and I can relate.)

3X More Drunk Teens: Loving and Firm vs. Loving but Indulgent Parenting
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jun/10062503.html   

- The teens least prone to heavy drinking had parents who scored high on both accountability and warmth.

- So-called “indulgent” parents, those low on accountability and high on warmth, nearly tripled the risk of their teen participating in heavy drinking.

- “Strict” parents – high on accountability and low on warmth – more than doubled their teen’s risk of heavy drinking.

“The statistical analysis also showed that religious teens were significantly less likely to drink at all. That mirrors findings from the 2008 study Bahr and Hoffmann conducted on teen religiosity and marijuana use…”

“Teens in this new study were more likely to have non-drinking friends if their parents scored high on warmth and accountability…”

Son sues mother for ‘failing to protect him from father’s beatings’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1281380/Son-sues-mother-failing-protect-fathers-beatings.html

Take responsibility, submissive wives.

‘Working mothers are to blame if their children misbehave’ says a leading psychologist
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1280400/Working-mothers-blame-children-misbehave-says-leading-psychologist.html

“‘As a parent of a child of this age, you need to realise that if things go pear-shaped it is actually always your fault, in the sense that if you keep a close enough eye on them you can prevent atrocities.’”

“The author claims that young children ‘need to be in the presence of a responsive, loving adult at all times’, warning working mothers that daycare is associated with more boastful, disobedient and aggressive children.”

How 20 books at home can help your child to soar
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1280398/How-20-books-home-help-child-soar.html

“Even parents who own just 20 books can significantly increase their children’s success… Researchers found those who grew up in a ‘bookish home’ –with around 500 books –remained in education for three years longer than those born to families with empty bookshelves.”

Books in Home as Important as Parents’ Education in Determining Children’s Education Level
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100520213116.htm

“In some countries, such as China, having 500 or more books in the home propels children 6.6 years further in their education. In the United States, the effect is less, 2.4 years, than the 3.2-year average advantage experienced across all 27 countries in the study.”

Home Libraries Provide Huge Educational Advantage

I used to post more of my own material for my website, but for the past long while, it seems I only link to other articles with the occasional personal comment here and there. I am sorry that I haven’t had the strength nor the inspiration for creative writing during the past six months. I haven’t been able to blog the story of this pregnancy either because it’s been just too emotional and difficult.

I apologize for either not responding at all or only half-heartedly to the encouraging comments and emails I have received during the past several months. I used to reply every time, but lately it has been exhausting, and sometimes I just don’t know what to say. I do appreciate when you take the time to write to me, and I will try to do better in replying. Thank you!

I am doing better healthwise. I still get extremely fatigued, but unlike the first 20 weeks of this pregnancy, I have been improving instead of getting worse. That was so scary. I can finally cope and even do things which makes me very encouraged and hopeful. I am also beginning to stop worrying about miscarrying.

I went to my first (and only so far) prenatal appointment and heard the baby’s heartbeat. I get Braxton Hicks contractions. I feel the baby kicking some. The hiccups seem to indicate that baby’s head is down. If that is the case, I pray it stays that way.

Me – Almost 25 weeks pregnant
(I can’t get Derek to stop taking worm’s eye view pictures.)

I stuck to the vegan diet for about six weeks, but since I kept getting more sick, I made some changes. I still make vegetable smoothies, almond/grape milk, take all my supplements, and continue to make better choices and avoid most unhealthy foods. I have continued to make Sunday night fruit smoothies for the family, and I bought quite a few containers to make homemade smoothie popsicles, both of which the children love.

I haven’t scrapbooked for 3 1/2 years, so I felt bad that I was so far behind with a little baby on the way. Just because this baby is the fifth child shouldn’t mean he or she doesn’t get pictures in an album. Inspired by the very talented Kelle of Enjoying the Small Things, I have discovered the wonderful world of photobooking. Kelle does digital scrapbooking and then has her beautiful pages collected in photobooks. I would love to do digital scrapbooking, yet I can’t figure out how to get started at all. Photobooking has been wonderfully easy with delightful results (not magnificent like Kelle’s, but satisfactory to me right now). I finally feel productive after many months of getting nothing done. That has been very hard on my head since my mind wants me to go, go, go. Just during the past few weeks, I completed three albums (January – June 2009, July – December 2009, January – June 2008), and I almost have July – December 2008 finished. Hopefully all of 2007 will fit in one album. I will then have only January – June 2010 to finish before the baby!  Lovely. I look forward to taking family pictures this fall.

We thought we had our baby names, but it seems there are too many people with the same names. I would welcome any baby names suggestions (in the comments below). I can’t find a good baby names website, so I would appreciate any tips in that area as well.

It has been a sad week in our community with the tragic death of a fourteen-year-old girl who lived up the road from us. She died in a car accident. Her mother is one of the sweetest, friendliest people I know. She is the kind of person who would get voted Miss Congeniality in the real world. What a devastating loss to their little family. Unbearable. http://nethymnal.org/htm/b/e/bestill.htm

The children are continuing to do their school work. Usually they have most subjects finished by mid-May, but this year, most subjects will likely go until the end of June. The 3 R’s will continue throughout the summer because of the baby and Derek’s job situation. The older boys have been dipping into their next year’s book stash. They just can’t help it – especially those Glenn Beck recommendations. They also received a new box of books with Canadian content yesterday. http://www.freedompress.ca/

Jean Chretien: A Legacy of Scandal ~ Paul Tuns
As I See It ~ Michael Coren
Standing on Guard for Thee ~ Michael Wagner
Loyal to the Core: Stephen Harper, Me and the NCC ~ Gerry Nicholls
The Great Canadian Comedy: From Laughter To Tears ~ Joe Campbell
Stop the Presses! ~ Joseph Farah

I bought another Willow Tree ornament because of the new baby. This will be our family in August.

I would love to hear from you. Certain blogging decisions I have made over the past couple years has resulted in less reader feedback, so it is encouraging to hear from those of you who still visit my website.

Now, back to politics as usual…

If Obama allows a vote on health care, then it is most likely he has the votes to win. Americans will then join Canadians in funding abortions with their tax money. A very sad day.
