"Multiple Bles8ings" Review.

I received the book "Multiple Bles8ings" by Jon and Kate Gosselin and Beth Carson for Christmas. It was honestly the present I was most excited about. It was the last thing I opened and by that point I started to think my mother had not purchased the book. I was totally bummed, then finally I opened it. I could hardly wait to read it. I heard mixed reviews about the book, some said it was basically everything you ever heard on the show others said it was amazing and made you laugh and cry in sentence. The book briefly touches on how Jon and Kate met, their wedding, their struggle in getting pregnant, and the birth of the twins. The book is mainly focused on the sextuplets from conception to age two. I have to repeat one of my favorite passages from the book it really shows how kids even at age three aren't so misunderstood, little kids are truly amazing. This was written after Kate's first round of fertility was not successful when she was trying for the third baby.

"She [Mady] came upstairs from her play room and asked me, "Mommy, why are you crying? Is it about a baby sister or brother?"... But then she gently and lovingly caressed my leg with her cottony smooth toddler hand and cronned, "It'll be soon. It'll be soon." Chills literally scurried up to the top of my head. It was as if God had sent a mighty angel in pint-sized pajamas to whisper reassurance when I needed it most."

This seriously just got to me. I have no idea why it just did. This book really was inspirational and while a lot of it contained things I had already heard by watching the show it gave an even more in depth look to their story. The book was obviously written by Kate, since it was all from her point of view, however, I think her point is the most important one. Her life was really in danger when she chose to not reduce and keep all the sextuplets. She was the one who spend the 2 and haf months in the hospital and she went through the recovery of having them. She would have felt the most responsible had something happened to them because it would have been her body that failed her babies. Therefore, I think she had the most important view. Eventually, I think it would be amazing for Mady or Cara and one of the sextuplets to write a book too so we could really see how it felt on all ends. So overall, the book was amazing. I read it in probably a combined total of 2 and half to three hours. I literally couldn't put it down, I just had to know what happened next. It was extremely inspirational and really made me question the lack of faith I have in God. Kate connected so many of the things that happened in her story to an act of God and while I am more likely to believe in coincidence than God a lot of it made sense. So now I'm really questioning a lot of myself and wondering it having faith will really make my life better.
