So The Host was a great book. i loved it. If you loved the twilight books from Stephanie Meyer, you will love this book. the first few chapters are a little confusing, but once you figure it out, it gets easier to understand. luckily my sister had just read it and so i turned to her when i got confused in the beginning. She straightened me out. Then a few weeks later when i was about 3/4 done with the book, my sister in law called me after seeing on my blog that i was currently reading the book. She needed some help figuring it out like it did those first few chapters and i got to help her. So if you start reading it and you're confused, you can either ask me, or just keep reading for a few more chapters and you'll eventually get it. it all falls into place. Anyways, the book was great. i highly recommend it.
So last night my hands swelled up pretty good. i know it was because of the heat. i had been out on my moms deck practically all afternoon and it was in the 90's at her house. i started freaking out because i still had my rings on. I wear two rings. my wedding ring and ring that dadi gave me when we were sealed in the temple. my fingers were bulging over the tops of the rings. first of all, i can't stand anything that restricts my movement. if i had to be held in a straight jacket or something, i would totally freak out. even if dadi lays his legs over me while we're cuddling on the couch, i freak out. i hate being held down or basically anything that restricts my movement. so when i tried to get my wedding ring off with soap and water and it wasn't budging, i started to get panicked. i know i could have held my hand in ice and gotten the swelling to go down, but i didn't have time for that. it was an emergency that i get the ring off!! so i pulled and i twisted and i put more soap on and started to freak out even more but it finally came off. i was so relieved. i would have cut it off. that's how desperate i was. my other hand wasn't as swollen and it didn't take too much to get that ring off though i did need the soap and water for sure. So it looks like my rings will remain off until after i have the baby. I'm too afraid to go through that again. they remained on my fingers a lot longer than when i had moma. i think i took them off around month 7 or so. then when i came home from the hospital, i was able to put them back on since my swelling had gone completely away. today my finger is sore from all the trauma i put it through last night. poor little thing. dadi will tell you, I'm a total loon about stuff like that. there have been many times where i have completely gone psycho on him when he wouldn't get his heavy legs off of me or if he held me too tight. it's sad. i can put my legs on his and cuddle but there's no way i can let him do that to me. just the thought of it makes me feel like getting up and wiggling around. if modesty wasn't such a huge part of my beliefs, i would join a nudist colony just so i could be free!! free as the wind!! now that........... that would be lovely!

That ring thing totally happened to me when I got pregnant and I freaked!! I got one ring off and then the second ring wouldn't budge! My finger was swollen so huge that the wedding band had to be cut off!
If that ever happens again, ask me about the floss trick- it totally works!
I know what you're talking about. I freak out too if I feel like I'm physically restrained and not in control of my body.
