BP, don’t know how many times I have to say this, but there’s no shame. Anyone that’s trying to make you feel shame for this child (planned or unplanned) isn’t worth your time. We’re willing to let it all go (the abstinence talk, the pro-life whatever) when you own it and quit apologizing.

STOP APOLOGIZING. Please, just own it! You are starting another life! THERE IS NO SHAME, GIRLFRIEND. No shame.

I’m so late to the comment game. I can’t believe I missed this article a few days ago.

I use my husband’s Tumi roll-aboard, which I love to death. I’m a carry-on only kind of girl, and the Eagle Creek packing folder is absolutely necessary for getting everything in one spot. Highly recommend for whatever bag you’re carrying.

There’s an instructional sex video for this - and I can’t remember the name of the amazing woman that did it. It’s a series of videos. She’s a former porn star and it’s great. Ok Jezzies - chip in! Remind me who did those videos!

Damn this PMS I NOW HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES.

Oh, I’m definitely PMSing and cried at the story where the woman left her bouquet on her father’s grave.

Try Kut from the Kloth

OMG got lost in googling celeb before and afters... for an hour. (The shame...)

I get checked yearly, and I’m 30. I have a nice hole in my leg right now from the last check where the dermatologist decided to “scoop a bit out” of a funny-looking freckle. It was benign, and now I’m going to have a hole-scar on my leg to match the hole-scar on my back.

I use Tina too! Except it’s my sister’s nickname. Just makes things easier.

Me too! Very ethnic first name and maiden name that is now my middle + regular old American last name.

AGREED. I also refused to toss a bouquet because it’s HUMILIATING to be the one standing there. I would never do that to my friends.

Ha! I’ve had 4 people tell me a similar story recently so I went in (after always wearing 34Bs) and (drumroll please)....

I once fell off a mountain bike in New Zealand and tore the only pair of stretchy workout pants I bought. There was a random Lululemon outlet nearby and I picked up black wunderunders for $60. I LOVE THOSE PANTS.

I know a girl who hooked up with John Mayer, too. She had to sign an NDA and also an agreement saying she couldn’t perform oral sex on him. When things heated up and she tried to go down, he kicked her out.

The Yuki toy. Google it, get it now. Beats the hell out of any Magic Wand.

Yes - no one ever talks about this! I spent much of the two months after doubting myself, too. It is just SUCH a big deal... such a massive deal.
