I am new to reading your posts, andam sad that you get very sick during your pregnancy. I have to say I am the same, not hooked up to an IV, but sick the min. I wake up to the min. I go to bed fr 10 months. It is so HARD!! I am generally a positive person until I am pregnant, and then I am the worst person to be around. I hate it, but there's always the light at the end of the tunnel. It's nice to hear your stories while pregnant.

I listen to the oldies like it's my job, but make up the lyrics when I can't decipher them myself. And Court, (I took the liberty) I thought it was Werewolves of THUNDER until I read this. I feel so silly and yet...so me.

Thank you for sharing your self-pity. My life is not perfect and I can relate much better to someone who's life isn't perfect, either!

I love reading your posts about pregnancy. I am due at the end of April with my 5th & I can't seem to find happiness either. I'm such a grumpy, frumpy mom and wife & I'm driving myself nuts! Thank you for making me feel like someone else feels the same way. This too shall pass! (right?) :)

2009-10-09T08:14:12.143-06:00

Did you watch the opening scene of The Office last night? A pregnant Pam throws up in her trash can at her desk, which sets off a chain reaction of vomiting workers...I had to pee I was laughing SO HARD.

The movie Awakenings, with Robert DeNiro is a HUGE no-no for me to watch. I can't sit through even part of it without embarrassing myself with sobs and dry heaves. It's that horrific. It's one of the only two times I almost left (ran out of) a movie theater. The other time was during The Blair Witch Project, which scared me so much, I was entertaining the other movie goers with my shrieks.

No, I don't do well in theaters.

2009-10-09T08:12:15.933-06:00

That picture of you is beautiful. And Werewolves of London is excellent. Don't ever watch that movie again. (for me, it's Terms of Endearment.)

2009-10-08T19:24:44.281-06:00

As a diabetic Mommy of two boys, Steel Magnolias has a different meaning for me. It reminds me of how blessed I am to have my children. It also reminds me that it's very important for me to take good care of myself. That means I have to keep my blood sugar levels under control so that I will be healthy and alive to watch my children grow up. I bawl like a baby when I watch that movie. It is just one of those movies that you get drawn into and you can't turn it off, no matter how sad it is.

On a happier note...I loved seeing you all on Oprah. Nie and Christian looked great...and I loved your clock waving! I was a little surprised that Nie didn't share about her faith because it is such an integral part of who she is. I wondered if they edited that stuff out or something. Did they? I wish that the whole hour was dedicated to Nie because her story is so amazing and there is so much more to tell. Maybe next time...

You have an amazing family!

Steel Magnolias?

Never watched it; however, I cried at the end of Hot Fuzz. You see, Sgt. Nicholas Angel was battling half of the town with all types of weaponry upon a white stallion.

This is when Danny Butterman realizes that his dad was involved and instead of shooting him, discharges his entire firearm in the air yelling, "Aaaaagggghhhhh!" while Nicholas Angel and Simon Skinner battle it out in the minerature village...at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...

2009-10-08T16:12:19.711-06:00

Oh Court,
I think you are much more amazing, lovely and happy than you give yourself credit for. Those hormones like to play tricks on our brains, don't they? Curse them! You surely are admirable AND darling. Perfect combination if ya ask me? Feel better Ms. Fabulous.

p.s. Do not be embarassed about "the clock" thing. You made us the audience AND Oprah laugh. how many people can say that; "I made *Oprah* laugh!" I at least know of one now. ;)

p.p.s. When did The Chief turn into a little man? (the pics on the tractor) He is so stinkin cute!

Okay, the weresolf guy looks like one of the cavemen from the GEICO commercials. Funny! They used to have those sour hard candy balls at the Motherhood Maternity stores. They worked for my nausea. Hang in there...won't it be sooo worth it?

2009-10-08T14:50:46.729-06:00

Can I just say that you rock! One you are hilarious, two you say all the right things and make me want to come live right beside you and your family is awesome. Congrats on baby #2. And though I can't leave a message on Stephanie's blog she was beautiful on Oprah. Thanks for the music, it got me and my husband moving this morning before work!

2009-10-08T13:36:19.214-06:00

Ok so this has nothing to do with your recent post. I think you need to change your header because your gorgeous brown hair is so much better! Oh and it was amazing to see you all on Oprah, what an inspiration you all are ecspecially Stephanie!

2009-10-08T13:08:07.350-06:00

I love the scene in that movie where she tells sally Field to hit weezer. I makes me laugh outloud everytime. you are a trooper Courtney and you looked absolutly stunning on Oprah, you should feel proud about that. I too hope your queezyness faulters fast... Love ya

2009-10-08T12:33:13.170-06:00

I think most of the reason why I cry watching Steel Magnolias is because of the music. I thought I was the only one who sobbed hysterically when M'Lynne goes to pick up her grandson! And as if the music isn't powerful enough, the sight of him running to her just does me in. If you're like me, and music just induces emotion like a waterfall, make sure to stay away from Terms of Endearment.

I was so captivated watching you all yesterday on Oprah. I wanted to reach through the screen and hug Nie, oh what an amazing soul she is! I can't get over her grace and delicateness. She has taught the world so much, and I admire you both for sharing your stories. Thank you :)

2009-10-08T12:32:07.074-06:00

I'm so sorry you have to deal with all day sickness during your pregnancies. That's just no fun and you probably deserve to feel all the self-pity that you're feeling. However, I think it's great that you find the tender mercies and fun things to give you some relief as well. I had never heard that song before and it was quite fun to watch that old video. I can't remember the details of Steel Magnolias, but I do recall never wanting to watch it again. It was just too sad!

Interesting tender mercy of my own last night: I had some miserable flu symptoms crop up suddenly around 12:20am when I was reading some of your past comments about Nie's appearance on Oprah. I had TiVo'ed the episode and planned to watch it today. But then I went down to watch it in the middle of the night after all the drama in the bathroom. Well, it turned out that it had been erased somehow. But the re-broadcast had just started at 12:37am and I was able to re-record it while watching it beginning at 12:44am! Can the Spirit prompt you to record Oprah?! Hmmm...I don't know, but I'm thankful that it worked out.

I agree that Nie looked beautiful. Your whole family was awesome cheering her on in the background. I also loved the clock. And I just wish that her segment had been much longer. :)
