It's Near Midnight in the Garden of Eden

I have been so sick during this pregnancy that I often wonder why. I understand physiologically why it happens, but it still doesn't make sense to me. Supposedly our bodies are made to accomodate certain natural events...like exercise, sex, etc. Our bodies are made to accomodate such things and adjust so that these things are safely possible. So why does my body hate being pregnant so much? Why is my body rejecting a natural process? I was wondering and complaining about this to my hubby a few days ago, and he said, "It's because you ate the forbidden fruit."

Now, he has a point there, and my first thought was, "Wow, you're right!" But my second thought was, "Why doesn't EVERY woman get sick then?" In the Bible it says that woman would pay for her sin by pain in childbirth and man would pay for his sin by breaking his back in work, and here I am in the 21st century having to do both. And on top of it, I don't think I should have to pay for that B Eve's sin any more than I should have to pay reparations to African-Americans for slavery. HELLO! I wasn't there.

Unfortunately, it's not my choice.
