Climate Solutions: Chapter 4
As seawater warms up, it expands, increasing the volume of the global ocean. [28]
—Gerald Meehl and his IPCC colleagues, 2007
Global warming raises the potential of unlocking large amounts of fresh water now frozen in the vast Greenland ice sheet and in Arctic Ocean sea ice. Warming air temperatures could also increase evaporation in low latitudes and transport freshwater vapor toward high latitudes, where it falls as rain or snow into the oceans. Could these factors tip the freshwater balance in the North Atlantic in the future? [27]
—Jerry McManus and Delia Oppo, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2006
As we have learned, the ocean is a vast reservoir, not only of water, but also of heat. The thermal layers are not uniform. Surface water warmed by the sun tends to contain more heat than layers 100 meters below the surface or deeper. The bigger the temperature difference between the warmer top water and colder bottom water, the more potential exists to convert that difference into other kinds of energy, such as electricity. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is an energy technology that converts solar radiation to electric power. OTEC systems use the ocean's natural thermal gradient—the difference in temperatures of the ocean's layers of water—to drive a power-producing cycle. As long as the temperature between the warm surface water and the cold deep water differs by about 20°C (36°F), an OTEC system can produce a significant amount of power, with little impact on the surrounding environment. As the OTEC Web site notes, "The oceans are thus a vast renewable resource, with the potential to help us produce billions of watts of electric power." [31] According to some experts, this potential may be as large as 10,000 billion watts of continuous baseload power generation.
Essentially, the technology involves pumping cold deep ocean water to the surface, exchanging the thermal energy between the two reservoirs in a heat engine, and returning the water to the mixed layer between the warm top and cold deep layers. Experimental OTEC stations have been in operation since the late 1990s. The by-products of the heat exchange include clean freshwater (which rivals in quality that of modern desalination plants) and cold "waste" water, which could be used for marine aquaculture or even for growing plants on land, as the Seawater Greenhouse project shows.*

Love is Everything
For the last 3 weeks at church the message has been on LOVE. A simple, yet ever so challenging message. Each week we're being exhorted and challenged to truly understand what true LOVE is and express it in EVERY area of our lives. It's incredibly eye opening as the Holy Spirit is unpacking the revelation from these verses in 1 Corinthians 13, before our hearts each week.
Wow…. How much is done in our lives without LOVE? Something we all need to examine individually. When we're impatient LOVE is absent. When we're boastful or self seeking LOVE is absent. When we're angry or offended LOVE is absent. While we all have moments when we struggle, we don't have to be stuck there. Praise God!!! The answer to all of these things is more LOVE. Yet, how do we walk in this seemingly impossible kind of LOVE? Well, in our own strength we can't, because this LOVE is God Himself being expressed through our very own lives. And what a beautiful expression we can be. We can only do this when we are so filled with our Daddy Gods LOVE for us that it can't help but pour out. Oh Lord, may we know your LOVE and be an accurate reflection of you each day!!!
I don't ever want to be a clanging cymbal how about you? I believe 1 Corinthians 13 is meant inspire us to examine our life daily and ask "Is this love?" and if it's not, to run to our Daddy Gods arms, repent, get a fresh dose of His unconditional love for us and then go forward in our LOVE life with all :))) No matter who we are, we can step up our LOVE walk. Life's a journey, and how beautiful it is when LOVE rules our hearts.

"I had an engagement shoot with another photographer that was totally a disaster. After our disappointment, I looked back and had previously saved a pin from Taylor's website in my Pinterest with a note that said 'Dream photographer but out of our budget.' After I landed a promotion at work I decided to reach out and I'm so glad I did! We talked over the phone a few times and I let her know about the previous shoot and our disappointment. Taylor completely understood and set me at ease with my trepidations and worries.
The morning of the shoot I got horrible news that my stepdad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We still decided to keep our appointment for our shoot so we could give him some nice photos of us. Once we arrived, after a two hour drive and we were an hour early by mistake, we discovered her husband (Mike) was in emergency surgery at the hospital unexpectedly! We were totally willing to reschedule but Taylor was insistent and left the waiting room to meet us about 15 minutes later. We proceeded through our shoot and she put us at ease and we felt really comfortable with her, despite both of our stressful personal crisis. The next day, even after a night spent in the hospital, she still managed to send me six 'teaser' shots from our shoot that I am in LOVE with and have me so excited to see the rest. I already know we'll be happy when we get the full shoot and I'll be able to give some to my dad when I fly to Florida to see him. Her commitment to keeping our appointment was above and beyond, then to get the most beautiful teaser shots, I'm convinced I've got my dream photographer for our wedding in September. Love you Taylor!"

Guzmán Ariza
Guzmán Ariza covers the full range of corporate and finance matters and benefits from being able to call on an in-house group of over a dozen accountants who assist with the structuring of credit facilities and the tax-efficiency aspects of transactional matters.

There are so many great writers on Russia in the blogosphere, and Bostonian Dmitry Orlov has to be one of our favorites. We just wish he would write about Russia more often!
In case you haven't discovered him, we've carried many of his articles over the years which you can find here. or on his blog, where he writes about much else. A particularly good recent one was 'The Power of Nyet' We aren't the only ones impressed. Fans around the globe translate his articles into a bewildering variety of languages.
The Russia discussion suffers from the fact that Orlov has much else going on at any one time, publishing books, analyzing how societies collapse, and designing boats to survive it all on a budget. His Wikipedia bio is one of the most interesting we've ever come across. Here is a recent conversation he had about it all with James Howard Kunstler.
So we are delighted to spread the word about his latest endeavour, a crowdfund on Indiegogo to help build a prototype, highly affordable, self-assembly, houseboat that sails.
With WW3 fast approaching, this might be just the thing, more affordable than a doomsday bunker, and much more fun.
Orlov has put his recent and future writing behind a paywall at Patreon, which we encourage you all to support to help keep this original mind churning out great ideas.
And once you are on Patreon, head over to the Russia Insider page too and put a couple coins in the jar. We'll change the world (for the better), just give us the means to do it.
From his Indiegogo page:
Tiny houses are charming, whimsical and affordable, but don't even try putting one downtown, within walking distance of everything you need and with a million dollar view of the harbor! For that, you need a houseboat, and a slip at a marina. Two years in the making and borne of 10 years of sailing around, living and raising a family aboard, the QUIDNON project is a houseboat that sails. It is a roomy, comfortable, rugged, affordable, mobile tiny house immune to zoning restrictions and floods.
Short Summary
The QUIDNON project aims to make kits available for DIY construction of a very versatile houseboat: a tiny house that is also a sailboat. It will measure 36 feet by 16 feet and combine high-tech kit production techniques and rapid, low-tech DIY assembly.
I have been living aboard with my family and sailing the Eastern Seaboard of the US for the last decade. QUIDNON's design incorporates hundreds of design features hard-won through my personal experience.
Two years ago I came up with this project, put my thoughts together on a blog and started gathering feedback and suggestions from other experienced live-aboards and custom boat-builders.
A year ago two other engineers joined the cause. We have put together a detailed 3D model of the design and built and tested a radio-controlled scale model. The tests went extremely well, with no surprises except for how well the model sailed.
We are now ready to build the first full-scale hull. So far we have been donating our time to the project and using free or donated software. But for the next step we have to buy software licenses, tools, other resources and specialized expertise.
What We Need & What You Get
We need to be able to license software, pay for access to equipment and for workshop space, engage a marine architect to review and approve the design, and buy the materials needed to complete and equip the first hull. If there is money left over, we will compensate ourselves, but what we want out of this process is QUIDNONS—for ourselves and for whoever wants one. We want to make QUIDNON kits available for delivery in 2018.
The Impact
Given the high rents and real estate prices, living aboard is a major lifehack—something that can help people, especially young families, to live well and stay out of debt. But most boats are not designed with that in mind, but for sport or luxury. QUIDNON combines a roomy interior, rugged construction and sailing ability in a single affordable package. All of the assembly and construction can be done DIY by moderately skilled people. The boat comes as a kit that comes together like a piece of IKEA furniture and can be put together quickly near a beach or a riverbank barn-raising style and then launched by pushing it to the water.

I found this on my phone while I was going through my notes. It's similar to the first part (click here to read the first part).
What the hell were those 39 days about? Nothing.
To be more specific: Nothing specific.
A countdown from one point of time to my birthday.
But why? Applying change to obtain change.
It's about false hopes and fake dreams.
I want to do this, I will do that, I will start this, I'm thinking about doing that.
It's about removing labels which the small bubble I call life has taught me to grab onto.
Graduate. Employed. Famous. Doctor. Appreciated. Accepted. Good boy. Nice guy. Funny. Cool.
It's an attempt to change the life I think I'm supposed to be living.
It's about carving a new path out of the hole I dug myself into.
I'm not digging a hole on some beach; I'm carving metal with my fingers, one broken finger after another.
Change is constant.
Sure, that's a beautiful cliche and a beautiful line to use.
And it's a cliche for a simple reason: it's true.
Change is either permanent or temporary.
But change occurs over what we label as time.
A split-second decision can either kill a driver or save a family.
A few minutes are the deciding factor between experiencing trauma or falling in love. Hours, days and years mold us, shape us, they dictate what we are now and they will decide what we become next.
Time is change's only true friend, which is why it's also its worst enemy.

Brian Mulligan
Hailed by The New York Times for "a voice that is rich, secure, and really, really big" and by Opera News for having "a wonderful, rich voice and a fine stage presence," baritone Brian Mulligan frequently appears with the world's leading orchestras and opera companies.
In the 2016-17 season, Mulligan makes his debut at the Vienna Staatsoper as Captain Balstrode in Peter Grimes, with returns to Opernhaus Zürich for a signature role of Valentin in Faust and Oper Frankfurt for his role debut of Golaud in Pelléas and Mélisande. On the symphonic front, he returns to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony, conducted by Robert Spano.
The 2015-16 season brought Mulligan back to San Francisco Opera in the title role of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd – a role debut – with conductor Patrick Summers, shortly followed by Enrico in a new production of Lucia di Lammermoor opposite Piotr Beczała, conducted by Nicola Luisotti. He returned to the Metropolitan Opera as Paolo in Simon Boccanegra, with Plácido Domingo in the title role and James Levine conducting, and to Opernhaus Zürich as Yeletsky in Pique Dame conducted by Jiří Bělohlávek. At Minnesota Opera, Mulligan took on the chillingly insane character of Jack Torrance in the world premiere of The Shining, written by Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell and conducted by Michael Christie. He made his debut at the Theater an der Wien with Oper Frankfurt on tour, reprising the role of Tadeusz in Weinberg's The Passenger, and concluded the season with a company and role debut at the Glimmerglass Festival as the venerable patriarch John Proctor in Robert Ward's Pulitzer Prize-winning operatic adaptation of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Highlights of Mulligan's symphonic work include Beethoven's Missa Solemnis with Donald Runnicles for his debut with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Brahms' A German Requiem with the Pacific Chorale.

21 weeks is just over the halfway point, and what's more, Craig and I are approaching a whole new stage as we are hoping to find out the baby's sex this week (Valentine's Day, to be exact). That will mean referring to the baby with gender-specific pronouns, calling it by name*, and starting to feel more and more like this is an actual person, soon to be in our lives, rather than just a misty idea that happens to cause nausea.
And speaking of nausea ...
I found out I was pregnant at four weeks, and up until six weeks, I was fit as a fiddle -- super-hungry, peeing a little more than usual, excited for all that was to come. The only negative "symptom" I experienced was an occasional frantic fear that I was having a miscarriage, and though those moments were scary, they were brief. But right at that very beginning part, I didn't feel sick in the least, and as I observed (from afar) my sister-in-law's terrible bout of hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme nausea whilst pregnant), I was feeling pretty lucky.
On the eve of my week 6 mark, I spent some time with new friends in Seattle. One of my Mormon feminist heroines, Joanna Brooks, was in town for a speaking engagement, so a group of us like-minded sisters had a big lunch get-together, followed by random wanderings around town, dinner, and the speech in the evening. I observed that my stomach was feeling a little off-kilter, but it was nothing crazy. The next day was the beginning of everything unraveling.
For that first week, I had round-the-clock nausea, no appetite, and unbelievable exhaustion. When I say "unbelievable exhaustion," what I mean is that I spent hours and hours on the couch sleeping, waking only occasionally to force-feed myself grapes and water. I remember waking up in bed one morning, talking to my best friend Chelsea on the phone, and then bidding her farewell with the intention that I would walk into the kitchen and make myself oatmeal. YOU GUYS, I HAD TO LAY DOWN AND REST ON THE WAY TO THE KITCHEN. And I do not live in a mansion; the kitchen is not far from the bedroom. I bet it's, like, 25-30 steps, but a little over halfway there, I had to lay down on the floor and re-summon my strength. I don't think I ever made the oatmeal.
To sum up the morning sickness phase:
Week 6-7: no vomiting; constant nausea and exhaustion
Weeks 7-13ish: vomiting and dry heaving (a lot or a little, depending on the day); constant nausea and exhaustion
Weeks 13-16: less vomiting and dry heaving, though it would sneak up on me; a little more energy; nausea first thing in the morning
Weeks 17-18: morning nausea; dissipation of symptoms
throughout: frequent frustration, 1-2 emotional breakdowns per week, loneliness (with only the cat for company during the day), diet made up of oatmeal, toast, oranges, grapes, cucumbers, tootsie pops, water, and the occasional actual meal that I would usually throw up
And weeks 18-21 have been comparative bliss, except for the worst cold of my life (which lasted for a bout a week). Everyone told me it would end and that I would somehow forget the terribleness, and they were right (which I'm still surprised about). A few nights ago, Craig and I went to a church event where the Cub Scouts were racing their Pinewood Derby cars, and there were all these cute little boys in their scout uniforms, plus dozens of younger siblings playing nearby. I turned to Craig and said, "I am so stupid. It was just a few weeks ago that I was glued to the couch and had to have a puke bucket in arm's reach at all times. I was totally miserable, but here I am, and these kids are so sweet and wonderful, and I just want to have a thousand babies!" Now, a thousand is an overstatement. But really. The memories are fading. I can imagine having more than one child again (whereas in the midst of being sick, I thought such a thing would be impossible).
So how did all this affect my job? That first day of sickness was a Saturday, and though I did go in to work, I had to leave an hour or two into my shift. I'm typically a really healthy person (something for which I am ever more grateful after these past few months), and in my many months at this job, I'd only had one sick day; I think that made my co-workers and managers pretty understanding at first. My store manager knew I was pregnant, and everyone else just figured I had the flu or something. In the week that followed, I called in sick four times and went in for my shift once, only to leave and go to the hospital after an hour-ish. Note that this was during the same phase when I couldn't walk to my kitchen without resting.
That first week was, overall, the worst one of the entire sickness for me; the exhaustion was crippling, and on top of that, I was dealing with the stress of trying to figure out my work situation. The more days that I called in sick, the less understanding people were. This isn't an affront to them at all; on a personal level, they cared about me and were incredibly sympathetic, but in terms of how the store works and what their needs are, me being gone was a big hassle. They felt frustrated and I felt mildly guilty.
So during that week, I talked with Craig, my managers, the company HR rep, my mom, and my brother-in-law (who's sort of a wiz-kid with all things in the professional realm) to try to figure out the best path forward. My game plan had been to keep working up until the baby was born, but I obviously wasn't prepared for how overwhelming this stage would be, and I had no idea how long it was going to last. After thinking it through, weighing everything, and praying, I felt like the best thing was to resign. I talked to my boss and formally put in my two weeks' notice; a prescription for Zofran (an anti-nausea medication for chemotherapy patients) got me through those two weeks with one additional absence, plus a few days when my managers sent me home early out of pity. The Zofran was gradually less effective during that time.
Saying goodbye to Buffalo was pretty tough. I have a lot of love for the people I worked with, and I learned a lot from my time there. If I had been in an office job where I could sit at my desk and have limited interaction with other people (with easy access to the bathroom), I think I may have been able to hang tough through the sickness, still calling in sick frequently. The nature of this job (walking around so much, being jolly and authoritative with customers, needing to be quick on your feet, etc.) added to the nature of my particular symptoms was a pretty rotten combination. I have to say, though, that as soon as I was done working, I knew it was the right choice. I'm really thankful to have been in a situation where it was even an option for me.
Medical Attention
Before I got sick, I started looking around for midwives. I've been really interested in pregnancy/birth/parenting for a few years now, and I felt pretty sure that I wanted to (a) work with a midwife, (b) have an unmedicated delivery if possible, and (c) give birth in a birth center (as opposed to in a hospital or at home). My friend Lori happened to have her third baby a few days after I found out I was pregnant, and I learned from Facebook and her blog that she had worked with a group of three midwives at Eastside Birth Center in Bellevue. I set up a consultation appointment with them and with another group of midwives in the area, but the other group kept rescheduling my appointment. I met with Eastside and felt really good about the approach there, and since I was finding it difficult to even get in for a meeting with the other group, I figured I'd take it as a sign and just go with my gut. Aside from that first consultation, I've had two actual appointments so far, and everything looks good. Their facility has a space for checkups and two birthing suites, each featuring a jacuzzi-style tub, a shower, its own bathroom, a bed, and a couch -- very homey. I'm really looking forward to being in that environment for the birth.
The only other medical interaction I've had was to meet with a doctor during that first week I was really sick. She confirmed that I was pregnant, gave me some tips to help with the nausea and dehydration (eating or drinking anything at that time was really tough), and prescribed me the Zofran.
"Showing" and Weight
One thing I marvel at over and over again is how pregnancy can be so different from woman to woman. I mean, the same thing is going on -- the woman's body is making a baby -- and yet the symptoms and stages vary a lot. This is true for pretty much every aspect of pregnancy. Crazypants. Anyway, I bring that up because one example of such variation is the point at which a woman starts "showing" and is obviously pregnant to everyone who sees her. I'm just getting into that stage now, which is a little on the late side, but not extreme. You can probably thank my long torso for the delay; the baby has more room to hide, I guess. I also lost weight (about ten pounds) during the first trimester, so that probably played a part. I can still look decidedly un-pregnant if I dress in a certain way.
Yesterday was the first day I donned MY NEW MATERNITY PANTS. I really looked and felt like a pregnant lady. Even though there is some weirdness that goes along with these body changes (I'm suddenly a lot more particular about where it is and isn't okay for Craig to touch me, for example), I am so happy to see this visible evidence. It confirms that I'm getting healthy again, which is something I've been working really hard at, and that the baby is growing.
Soapbox time: I've had a few interactions with other women that went as follows.
Other lady (upon finding out I'm pregnant): Oh my gosh, congratulations! How far along are you?
Me: 19 weeks [or whatever].
Other lady: YOU'RE KIDDING! Wow, you are so small!
Me: Yeah, the first few months were pretty rough, so I lost some weight just from being sick.
Other lady: Well, trust me, you look great.
Me: Uhh, I don't know, I'm really trying to put on weight so that the baby and I can be healthy.
Other lady: Oh, don't be silly! Trust me, you'll be sorry you said that! You are so lucky to be still be so thin. I'm jealous!
Me: No, really, I'm underweight and it worries me.
Other lady: No, really, you're lucky. I wish I could be a skinny pregnant lady like you! Hahahahaha.
Sigh sigh sigh. I just wish that for one second, we could get over that cultural compulsion to be so very very thin. It seems like we're so tuned in to that expectation that it's somehow become the ultimate GOOD, the most important achievement for women, and in fact, the expectation is ingrained to the extent that -- in these conversations, at least -- it takes priority over health. I point-blank told these women that my weight was unhealthy for me and the baby, and they laughed it off (literally! laughed! all of them!). I just wanted to put my hands on their shoulders and say, "Being thin is not this important. Please please please see that." Because I wonder how much that "must be thin, must lose weight" mentality rules their decisions, their interactions, their self-talk.
Oh, the world we live in. These women I talked to didn't just come up with some crazy fixation on thinness on their own. I wonder if they gained a lot of weight during their pregnancies, more than they wanted, and got some harsh judgment for it. (All these women were mothers themselves, I should note.) I wonder if they gained an "acceptable" amount of weight but then had a difficult time losing it after the baby was born, making them feel less valued in a culture that attaches such honor to bodies that fit the mold. I wonder if they've just absorbed this expectation through the air on their skin and in their lungs. I'm not mad at these women; I don't even think they're dumb or rude or superficial. I just feel like this says something about our culture, something about how we have missed the forest for the trees, how we care more about a woman's dimensions than about the woman herself.
And in all fairness, I've had a lot of conversations that didn't go like this at all, where weight was the last thing on anyone's mind. People have been lovely to me and never critical of my decisions or needs (which is huge!). This is just something that's been on my mind.
Craig has been amazing. I don't know how else to say it. I just want to kiss him all over his face for how amazing he's been.
I've needed a lot over these past few months. It started with my fears about having a miscarriage; I needed someone to listen to me and soothe me. One of my freakouts came while I was taking a shower, and I had to have Craig come sit by the tub and calm me down, then literally direct me through what you do in a shower (shampoo your hair, rinse, put conditioner in your hair, etc.). I've needed him to make me food, get me water, wash out my puke bucket, and cut pills into teeny-tiny portions for me (so as to not trigger my heightened gag reflex). I've needed him to cut out of work early or not go in at all. I've needed him to reassure me through SO.MANY.CRYFESTS. And he's done it -- not just because I needed him to, but because he wanted to do anything he could to help. The most wonderful thing about being married to Craig is that I'm never the least bit surprised by his goodness or his love. I'm grateful for it, but I'm never surprised by it. I'm not surprised by the ground being under my feet or the sky being over my head, and Craig is just as constant.
My favorite moment of the pregnancy thus far was when Craig felt the baby move for the first time. We were laying in bed, waiting to fall asleep. I'd been able to feel the baby the previous few nights if I really concentrated, but I wasn't sure if the kicks were strong enough for Craig to feel. We gave it a try, with his hand over my uterus, and it actually worked. Hearing him get so excited and silly over it was maybe the sweetest and happiest moment of my entire life. He is going to be such an amazing dad -- loving, involved, goofy, completely enamored with whoever this little person turns out to be. And it won't surprise me at all.
We live in Washington, a few days' drive from any family members (the closest are in Boise, with our parents living in northern and southern Utah). Still, we've been able to have some family time. Brian (Craig's brother) happened to be visiting on the day we found out I was pregnant, and Craig's parents also came to stay with us for Christmas. Video chats and phone calls have been good options. I'm going to visit my home base in St. George later this month, and we also have a trip in the works to northern Utah.
Something I'm super happy about: I have two sisters-in-law (sister-in-laws ... ?) who are also pregnant right now, one on each side of the fam. Natalie (married to Brian, Craig's brother) is due to deliver a daughter THIS MONTH! This is her third baby (she already has one boy and one girl), so she is pretty much pro. On the Staheli side of the equation, Abbie (married to my little brother, Britt) is having a boy in May. We are both first-timers. I love that our baby will have cousins who are close in age, and it's also wonderful to have all these "sisters" (four in all) who are in various stages of young motherhood. I'll be able to learn a lot from them and trade war stories, etc.
(In whatever order they come to mind.)
I love watching stylized birth videos SO MUCH. Reading birth stories is great as well, and there are several that have been incredibly touching, but the added visual dimension does a lot for me. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, these videos from Ceci Jane are wonderful examples. There are only a few birth videographers/photographers in the Seattle area, and the general commonality is that their services are crazy expensive (probably reasonably-priced in terms of the work they put in, but too much for this little budget). There's one woman, though, that I really hope to work with to get some pictures during the birth, so fingers crossed that that will work out.
Since I've been feeling better, the nesting instinct has set in a little bit. I keep wanting to clean and organize and decorate. The timing on this is great, because leaving my previous job earlier than intended means it's time to transition into a new job: homemaker. I feel like that word (and lots of words related to motherhood - stay-at-home-mom, working mom, etc.) comes with a lot of baggage. There's a connotation to it that I'm not quite comfortable with. Still, the idea of being someone who makes a home is really fulfilling to me. I want that job, and I've wanted it for a while. Making a home requires emotional work, physical work, creativity, openness, and a variety of domestic skills that I have yet to acquire. Consider this my on-the-job training.
We joined Costco. That happened. It has brought an inordinate amount of Cinnamon Toast Crunch into our home.
I got a buzz-cut just before getting pregnant, and my hair has grown out to a length of about two inches. At this rate, it'll be roughly four inches long when the baby's born. I'm just letting it grow so that I can have the most possible hair to work with come summertime, at which point I'll probably want to cut it into something that has an actual shape.
I didn't go to church for six weeks (when? oh, when I was sick). That was a first. But now, church-related stuff is my main social outlet, so I am THERE.
Bonding with the Baby
In my experience, there's a huge difference between feeling like you're pregnant and feeling like you're going to have a baby. I've been feeling pregnant since day one, whereas there are still days when I don't feel like I'm having a baby. Around 16 weeks, I started getting increasingly nervous that I wasn't feeling very connected to the baby. I was into my second trimester, which meant that the possibility of miscarriage was pretty diminished, but I was still really scared. Maybe as the sickness was ebbing, I had time to get stressed about something else ... Anyway, that was a tough time. The worry fed on itself in a sick cycle -- I was worried about miscarrying, which made it harder to connect with the baby, and not feeling connected with the baby made me worry that I had miscarried.
There was one day when the fear was at its height, and I ended up having two phone conversations -- one with my best friend Chelsea, and one with my mom. I confided in both of them that I was really worried that I hadn't felt any sort of bond with the baby, that I was worried this meant that there wasn't any baby to bond with and that I had already or would soon miscarry. Both Chel and my mom are so perceptive and really know me intimately, and they both understood what I hadn't seen: that this pregnancy is really high-stakes for me, and I was subconsciously trying to protect myself from pain by not bonding with the baby. They both realized this! Independent of each other! And it was something I hadn't even considered. You know, I walk around thinking I'm a smart and sensitive and self-aware person, and then they go and show me how blind I can really be. =) But they were right. I had a lot of fear of disappointment going on. My mom had three miscarriages when I was between the ages of 11-14, and they were all quite traumatic, and I remember all of them very well. That's a formative time in life, and I'm sure I absorbed some fear from those experiences. Craig and I also had to go through a lot of effort and struggle to conceive this baby in the first place. In short, there are a lot of emotions and expectations and hopes wrapped up in this pregnancy (there always are), and on some level, I think I was trying to wrap myself in a little cocoon and block out anything that was going to make the potential pain worse, including a connection with the baby.
Recognition is the first step, and once I was tuned in to what was happening, I was able to turn things around a bit. I had an appointment with my midwife a few days later, and when she finally found the baby's heartbeat after searching around for a long while, it was a beautiful moment. That turning point combined with feeling the baby move in the last few weeks has helped me feel like this little one is here to stay.
Related to the whole bonding situation is my decision to find out the baby's sex. I had originally been sure that I wanted to wait and find out when the baby was born, and there's still something about that approach that I really love, but I changed my mind because I want to be able to think of the baby in a more realistic way. I think knowing the sex and the name will help this all feel more real than imaginary. Craig has wanted to know the baby's sex from the beginning. He was willing to go along with not finding out, but he's pretty happy I've changed my tune. He thinks we're having a girl, I think we're having a boy, and we'll both be pleasantly surprised if we're wrong.
Reading about birth and pregnancy has been a special hobby of mine for years, so I've actually had to dial it back a bit and have a "moderation in all things" mindset since getting pregnant. It's easy to get overwhelmed by information and techniques and happy stories and scary stories and parenting controversies.
My two mainstays:
- The book "Birthing from Within." It's pretty hippy-dippy, but then again, so am I, so I was into it. =) It advocates doing a lot of emotional work to face any fears/anxiety surrounding birth, and it's also big into making art and practicing pain-coping techniques. The thing that really rang true for me was the book's overall attitude that instead of approaching birth as a medical event, it can be approached as a profound rite of passage. I loved that. I'll be reading it again in the remaining months.
- Every time I officially complete another week of the pregnancy, I go to babycenter.com and update myself on how the baby's progressing. The latest update tells me that my baby is the length of a carrot ... but I feel like that's not helpful, because carrots come in so many lengths.
Random Worries
The most sensible worry in my deck o' worries is about all things postpartum. Adjusting to life with a baby will be ... umm, big. And we have to be grown-ups. Our living situation is up in the air right now; we'll either stay in Washington or move back to Utah. The stress of moving and finding a new place to live and getting Craig a job would be a lot to deal with, but we'd be doing it near family and friends. On the other hand, we can stay in Washington and settle into life without so many disruptions, but we'd be pretty much on our own. Thank goodness for Craig's paternity leave, which we'll be able to enjoy either way.
My most visceral worry is that, during the birth, I will ... tear ... or require an episiotomy. I need to face this anxiety, because it is awful. But let's not talk about it right now.
And then the other thing on the radar is our cat. He is so needy! And so wonderful and cute and lovable, but sooooo needy. He may very well go cat-crazy when we bring a crying baby into the mix. But whatever, he'll deal with it.
These days, I'm trying to get into a productive pattern at home, evaluating my wardrobe for what can double as maternity clothing, and writing more. And taking care of my needy needy cat.
Up Next
As I said, we've got an ultrasound this week, which will probably result in some celebratory baby clothes shopping. I'll celebrate my 26th birthday this month, then head to St. George a few days later for a week with my family (including a birth blessing/shower that my mom and I are putting together). Craig and I will both drive to northern Utah for a visit in either March or April, and after that, it's all about getting ourselves ready for the new roommate, so we'll either focus on getting everything rearranged in our current place or preparing for a move.
All things considered, these past few months have made me feel both really weak and really strong. That combination of humility and confidence is probably a miniature version of how I'll feel as a mom for the next 20 or 50 years, soooooo yay? Really, though, I'm happy and loving life. This is a beautiful time, and I'm trying to just appreciate each moment for whatever it is.
*As far as calling the baby by name, that will be a lot easier if we find out we're having a girl. Craig and I have been settled on a girl's name since before we got married. The boy names are a little tougher for us; we've currently got it narrowed down to five.

Gigi Hadid Reportedly Liked A Photo Of Zayn Malik's Ex Perrie Edwards & Fans Are Freaking Out
This is awkward! Gigi Hadid reportedly liked, then unliked, a photo of Perrie Edwards on Instagram and fans are SHOOK. Perrie is Gigi's boyfriend, Zayn Malik's, former fiancee, after all…
We've all had that feeling of terror after liking an Instagram post we totally didn't mean to. Unfortunately for Gigi Hadid, 21, though, followers actually take notice when she double taps a pic. This is apparently just what happened when a Perrie Edwards fan page posted a pic of the Little Mix singer, which Gigi reportedly liked, then unliked. The fan page's creator didn't even notice the notification, but she was quickly inundated with screen grabs from other users showing the message that Gigi Hadid 'liked' her photo. The fan then posted the grab as proof, although it's not hard evidence that Gigi actually did like the pic — after all, those images can be photoshopped pretty easily. However, this one does look pretty authentic!
Of course, this situation is totally awkward since Gigi is dating Zayn Malik, 24, who got engaged to Perrie in 2013, only to end the engagement two years later in Aug. 2015. News of Gigi allegedly liking Perrie's photo spread quickly through the girls' fandoms on Twitter, and naturally, people went nut. "gigi actually liked a pic of perrie…was she stalking perrie like how else would she see that," one person wrote. Another added, "gigi leave perrie alone don't you contaminate her," while a third wrote, "Home girl lowkey be stalking Perrie on Instagram."
Perrie's breakup from Zayn was a really bad one for her, and made even worse by the fact that it only took Zayn a few months to move onto Gigi that November. The gorgeous couple has been going strong ever since, and despite recent rumors of a split, the supermodel made sure to let fans know that all is well between them by posting a throwback shot to Instagram on June 23. Meanwhile, Perrie has gone public with her new boyfriend, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and they made it clear they're very happy together on a recent vacation. All is well!
HollywoodLifers, do you think Gigi actually liked a pic of Perrie? Do you think it was an accident?

Soul singer Erykah Badu made an unexpected appearance on a local Texas news station this week (begs23Feb15) after inclement weather conditions grounded her flight from Dallas to Los Angeles.
The On & On hitmaker was among the passengers left stranded at Dallas-Forth Worth Airport and agreed to be interviewed by local CBS news reporter Steve Pickett about the delays.
Discussing the long wait for another flight, the singer quipped, "It's hard out here for a pimp, you know?", before adding, "I'm just trying to get to Los Angeles. I just have to wait a little bit longer."
She then smiled and waved to the camera, mouthing, 'Hey mom' as Pickett finished his segment.
Pickett later took to his Twitter.com blog to give Badu a shout out, writing, "You never know who'll you run into at the airport!!! Awesome!"
Badu is no stranger to odd TV appearances - last summer (Jun14), she interrupted a live news broadcast in New York by walking into shot and attempting to kiss reporter Mario Diaz, much to his surprise.

Air impact wrenches come in many forms, so beware when looking for a one size fits all option. This list has a good amount of those, but paying close attention to things like the weight and overall power will go a long way in deciding if you're wasting your time with a purchase or not. There are some really powerful units on this list, and none of them seem to conform to size meaning more power. One of the smallest air impact wrenches on the list is the most powerful, and the largest is simply the sturdiest of the bunch, offering more control with your overall experience. The brand names stand out on this list but not as much on other lists, which gives way for a lot of the up and comers to show what they're made of. Check out the list and make your decision from it, as for the most part these are all excellent choices.

AIRCAT 1150 Killer Torque 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench, Black
With a loosening torque of 1,295 ft. lbs. it's really hard to look at the AIRCAT 1150 Killer Torque 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench and not get happy with joy. Of twin hammer ½ impact wrenches on the market its 1,400 blows per minute makes it one of the most consistent and best at hitting its target. The rotor when compared to the others on the list is 15 percent bigger, giving it more power and finer execution on even the toughest of jobs. Even with the extra power it remains pretty quiet at 86 dB, a bit lower than the first on the list. Maintenance of the unit is very easy, and only requires air tool oil and grease about once a month to keep at top performance. This alone is worth the fee to have this awesome tool in your arsenal, as it's one less thing to worry about even if it is on the high end of the price range.
If you're a handy user this is a rebuildable unit, allowing you to salvage the good parts and make it into a brand new impact wrench like you had just bought it. There are some issues with the variable trigger being a bit too stiff, which leads to either going full power or not being on at all. It takes a little getting used to in order to fully adapt, but once you get it things become a lot easier. The setup instructions for getting max torque are vital, and can be easy to miss if you don't pay attention to the manual. Setting it up right the first time will yield long term benefits rather than you having to go back and correct it later on. A long hose will cause problems with getting max torque, but in reality that is more a common sense thing. There is definitely plenty of reasons to want to own this impact wrench, and much like the first on the list it is a great buy that won't leave you hanging.
ACDelco ANI405 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench 500-Feet-Pound
On the lower side of the prices is this Acdelco ANI405 with twin hammer but significantly weaker punch than the first two items. The housing of the unit is aluminum alloy and is quite durable and able to take a pounding. If looking for a low priced item that can last for years the mechanics of the unit along with the materials are quite well built, even if they are less effective at the job. There are 4 total modes, with 3 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. The exhaust design is creative and it's built into the handle, which will take some getting used to if you're coming from another design. It looks small but it is a bit of a hog, weighing 6.2 pounds and easily being one of the heaviest on the list.
The aforementioned weight becomes a problem since it doesn't compensate with torque, which maxes out at only 500 ft. lb. The 1 year limited warranty isn't really going to change anything since the unit itself is very well built and prone to damage. Air flow capacity isn't too demanding at 4 CFM, which is expected since the torque is on the lower end of the models. This is on the bottom half of the air impact wrenches on the list, but may be favorable for those that don't have a powerful air compressor. Even with the added benefit of being able to use a below average compressor there are going to be maneuverability issues with a tool that's almost 7 pounds in total weight. It's going to take some strong and steady hands to see a longer project through to completion, if at all. This is a good unit for someone that has an unreliable air compressor, any other reason than that and you can definitely find something better.
Ingersoll-Rand 2135TiMAX 1/2-Inch Air Impact Wrench
On the weirder looking side is this expensive Ingersoll-Rand that has 780 ft. lbs. of max power with a professional touch trigger offering variable forward speeds. The setup is so ingenious that they patented the forward and reverse buttons, which offer the best control of any unit on the list. Thankfully with all of the innovations it still is on the lighter side weighing in at 3.95 pounds. And this stocky little gem is not only durable but is protected by the MAX Protection Program where if you register the tool you'll get a 2 year limited warranty. This isn't the most powerful item on the list, but the weight to power ratio is tops on the list for a reason. The buttons are all in places where they're easy to reach with one hand, so forward, reverse, and even changing the speed are all operational without compromising the user.
The compact design also features another patent, the Quiet Tool technology which makes it one of the most silent tools on the list. The casing of the unit is made of titanium, but you won't notice it when you're holding it. You're more likely to notice it when it gets banged around, and still performs like a beast. There isn't a plethora of accessories, and it's pretty much going to be the tool and a manual to get you started. Putting in sockets is such a no brainer that in some ways it puts other units on the list to shame, based on how easy it is to use. Although this unit populates a lot of professional shops it has found a home in consumer garages as well, and doesn't look to be going anywhere soon. Don't let the look throw you off, this is clearly one of the best on the list. If looking at the features alone, can beat just about any on the market.

Ingersoll-Rand 231C 1/2-Inch Super-Duty Air Impact Wrench
This mid-priced unit from the same company as the previous item tries to stand out by having an exclusive impact mechanism that focuses on control rather than power. The power regulator however is adjustable, with pressure fed lubrication to help during long projects. The Ingersoll-Rand 231C will probably be the easiest unit you ever have to service due to the two piece construction.
Taking it apart is a breeze as well as locating whatever the problem is when it isn't functioning correctly. With a contoured handle that feels as good as the best can offer it's hard to hate this product, even if it is missing some significant features. It's underpowered with its 425 ft. lbs. torque but has an air consumption of only 4.2 CFM. The weight is average at 5.3 pounds and won't scare away the harder worker that's worried about hand strain.
The design and actual model of the united has been continuously built upon for over 25 years. It isn't necessarily a bad unit but pales in comparison to others like the previous, which is by the same maker. What this air impact wrench lacks for power it makes up for with control, but that is a pretty huge sacrifice if you have a big project to use with it. The warranty is a standard 1 year and requires a sales receipt or an invoice when registering. The max Psi for use with the tool is 90, but there is some wiggling room there if you're willing to experiment. Make no mistake about it, this is still a great buy for someone working out of their garage and doing nominal hobby work. If you're looking for something heavy duty that is also future proof, then it would be hard to recommend this tool to anyone. There are way too many great options at similar prices that you can spend your hard earned money on.
BOSTITCH BTMT72391 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench
The twin hammer mechanism in this low priced Bostitch will surprise you, as well as the durable aluminum body that can withstand a lot of punishment. Speed is handled through an easy to use adjustable power regulator allowing you to apply as little or as much speed as you need. Exhaust is expended through the bottom handle, so for users that have never had an impact wrench like that it will take some getting used to. The featherlike trigger of the unit will also take some getting used to, as you'll have to get a general feel of when it clicks and when it doesn't. Reverse has full power so if you need to remove bolts it'll give you exactly what you need without stalling on you. The handle is as comfortable a cushion as you can get and also absorbs shock while in use.
Total air consumption is 3.9 CFM at 90 PSI and the unit has an overall weight of 5.9 pounds. Considering that this is on the heavier side of the units on the list and the torque is only 500 ft. lbs. then it's safe to say it's a little disappointing in that regard. You do however get a 3 year limited warranty that's the longest on the list, so that is something to think about if you want a product that will last you for years. Bostitch also has great customer support, which is another winning feature of buying from this bigger brand name. Upkeep only requires a couple of drops of oil daily, which is easy to apply manually as stated in the instructions. You're giving up a lot of power with this unit, and in situations there will be some bolts you won't be able to get off because of that lack of power, even with the full power reverse. As a lower priced unit this will definitely do the trick for beginners, but anything beyond that you may want to look elsewhere.
Ingersoll-Rand 261 3/4-Inch Super Duty Air Impact Wrench
One of the highest priced units on the list is also the heaviest, and comes in at a hand shaking 13 pounds total weight. There aren't many ¾ air impact wrenches that can deliver up to 1,100 ft. lbs. of torque, but of the few there are they weight a lot less than this brand. With the extra power and the jumbo power mechanism there won't be a single bolt that can challenge you whether it's in forward or reverse speeds. A pressure-feed lube system increases performance by making sure the mechanics of the unit are functioning at 100% at all times. The extra weight is due to this being a professional grade heavy duty air impact wrench that can handle the likes of major engine teardowns, pinion nut and track pad removal and spring work.
Due to the extreme nature of this unit it can almost be considered overkill for smaller tasks, as it tears through just about whatever you throw at it. The usual handle exhaust keeps unwanted things away from your face and shoots it down through the bottom while average air consumption is a hungry 9.5 CFM. As long as you have the stamina to handle the 13 pounds of this monster it will take care of any job you throw at it without any type of setback. Because of the extreme power of this air impact wrench there will be a lot of noise, but nothing to crazy out of the comfort zone of what you're used to with these type of tools. The size is perfect and the design works well with your hands, while giving you enough control to manage even when at the highest speeds. Hook this up with a great air compressor and you'll never need another air impact wrench in your inventory again. Even with the extreme weight, this heavy duty air impact wrench is one of the tops on the list.
Pricing table with an Table ID of "3airimpact" is not defined.
Ingersoll Rand 2145QiMax Rand 3/4-Inch Composite Quiet Impact Tool
We go from high to higher with the highest priced Ingersoll Rand on the list, with a blistering 1350 ft. lbs. reverse torque from an air impact wrench that weighs only 7.4 pounds, about half the weight of the previous unit. It's a small and compact tool that can get to places that some of the other tools on this list can't reach, and even if it's dropped it's strong enough to withstand the impact and keep going. The two year limited warranty is standard on this model and will probably not be needed if you take good care of the tool. There is a 16 percent increase in motor efficiency so that you don't experience any lag on tough projects, and with a 7 vane motor you'll never be lacking for the power that you really need.
Cleaning of the tool is extremely easy because of the inlet screen, which in the end means you'll spend more money operating at max efficiency and worrying less about a full functioning air impact wrench. Average air consumption is 8.5 CFM with 1,150 blows per minute, with noise level hitting the 91.1 dBA level at its peak. This gives you the power of the previous product without the extra weight, so there is definitely some advantages here in terms of features and improvement.
This is not only a fantastic beginner air impact wrench, but if you're in the market to replace your current one then this is really the way to go. There aren't a lot available that are this size, with this power, and massive set of features. It handles air very well for the power it draws and is a winner on all fronts, even with the warranty. This is a great buy and should not be overlooked, for either starters or experts in the field.
NitroCat 1200-K 1/2-Inch Kevlar Composite Air Impact Wrench with Twin Clutch Mechanism
As the second to last air impact wrench on the list, this is a great choice for ½ wrench users looking for a mid-priced solution with a load of features. The housing is strong, built with a Kevlar composite to withstand blows but still contoured enough to make sure the operator doesn't get fatigued with a bad design. While most of the other options on this list are on the noisy side, this is the quietest of the bunch and only operates at 86 decibels with the patented quiet technology. A twin clutch mechanism gives you sound mechanics to back the power while the exhaust goes through the bottom handle to keep unwanted debris from your face. Forward and reverse are managed through a flip lever that's easy to recognize and get to.
Marketing touts this as an air impact wrench used by many NHRA Top Fuel race teams, and it's easy to why it's popular. Operating PSI is between 90-120 with a max torque of 1,295 ft. lbs. to keep you busy on many heavy projects. If by any chance something goes wrong you get a 2 year parts and labor limited warranty to go with your product. If looking for variable speeds you'll be a bit disappointed that even though it has different speeds there isn't a lot of difference between the lowest and highest settings. This may frustrate some uses that want to do some fine tuning with certain projects, and may be more interesting in purchasing a unit that has true variable speed. The protective cover is bright red with flames, which looks cool at first glance but sort of takes away the overall professionalism of the unit. If looking for something that is an all-around champ, this works well for a variety of reasons. It's quiet, powerful and can take on just about any other unit on the list.
Chicago Pneumatic CP7748 1/2″ Composite Impact Wrench
First up on the list is this lightweight composite housing Chicago Pneumatic, which is the most powerful tool in its class. In reverse the real torque is a remarkable 922 ft. lbs., and both forward and reverse functions are one handed. The design lends itself to offering both comfort with the contoured grip and functionality with the easy to reach forward and reverse keys. Forward has 3 different positions with high (730 ft. lbs.), medium (480 ft. lbs.) and low (180 ft. lbs.). This is professional grade tool that can also handle light work with tire changing, MRO applications, and general maintenance. With the total weight of the tool only hitting 4.4 pounds it is one of the most powerful tools you will ever own. There is also no fear with dirt or other miscellaneous debris affecting the tool and how it functions on a long term basis, thanks to the way the designed the housing.
The inside using a twin hammer mechanism with other features such as an ergonomically developed trigger, swivel air inlet and free speed 8,200 working torque. You are going to get a little bit of sound on this one, with a 94 dB which is to be expected with this much power. The max PSI is 90 with an air flow capacity of 90 CFM. The bad reviews on this product are nonexistent, to give you a general idea of how well this unit performs. It really is one of the best on the market and easily the most powerful. Even if trying to test its power on a rusty project where other impact wrenches have failed you will be pleasantly surprised with just how fast this one pulls it through. This is top 3 on the list at the very least, and is a solid purchase for first time and professional buyers.
Ingersoll Rand 2135Ti10YR 10-Year Anniversary Edition Titanium Impact Wrench, Titanium grey
Last on the list is this high priced limited anniversary edition Ingersoll Rand, celebrating 10 years of the IR Titanium impact wrench. You get 1100 ft. lbs. of torque with a unit that weighs only 4.8 lbs. for maximum efficiency and the ability to get in hard to reach places. Extras include a nice stylus pro flashlight and a one of a kind decal that not only looks great but is fun to show off to friends. Even as an anniversary edition this is still a viable ½ inch impact to use on a daily basis, and works great as a lifetime tool for those that work a lot in shops. The 120 volts is plenty of power and gives a consistency that does the model it is made after a lot of justice.
Other extras include a 10 year anniversary plaque with paperwork, so if you're a bit of a completionist this will look good in your collection. With such a pretty outer casing it's almost a shame to get it dirty, but beneath that casing is one of the most powerful air impact wrenches on the market. The noise is a bit on the unforgiving side, but is really average when you get down to it. But don't expect some revolutionary noise silencing technology in this product as you're going to get the standard. There have been some complaints that some of the accessories that are supposed to be included may be missing from the package. Make sure that if you don't receive the flashlight, the plaque, and other mentioned accessories to contact support to correct the problem. It's not often I can recommend special anniversary editions as full day to day working tools, but there are always exceptions to the rule. This is very much a great buy if you're looking for something long-term that won't give you any headaches.
Those were some interesting choices for, especially considering one of the best choices is a monster that weighs almost 15 pounds! This isn't a deal breaker for some but may be for those with arthritis or other hand conditions. Surprisingly the largest on the list wasn't the most powerful, and when it comes to being the quietest then the NitroCat with Kevlar is king on the list. With the great choices on this list you will come out on top no matter which one you choose, so have fun and prepare to be amazed with the power in your hands.

February 2005
Since I'm on a roll with this first person thing, here's another: Since my wife and I are not old enough to get a flu shot due to the shortage, my wife -- always looking out for my health -- says at dinner, "One way to minimize getting the flu is to take a daily multi-vitamin." "O.K.," I respond, "good idea." She indicates where the multi-vitamins are. I get up. I say, "Sweetie, there are two bottles of multi-vitamins and both are pretty full. Which one is it?" She says, "It's obvious which one you're supposed to take." (My wife is notoriously bad at giving instructions, although she's very good at taking them, which makes up for everything.)
So I inspect both bottles, but they have identical labels. I'm puzzled. I finally see that one says "Mature Adults." So I figure the other one is for the kids. I take one from the "Mature Adults" bottle, and down it.
Then I say, "Why does it say 'Mature Adults'? Isn't 'Adults' sufficient?" I'm advised that "Mature" is a euphemism for old.
So I throw out a one-liner, "I'm so relieved that I'm no longer immature." No one laughs. I'm thinking to myself, why is everyone so sour tonight? But I don't really want to inspect the emotional state of the family -- something we men try to avoid.
