umm, yeeeeeeeah.......kinda need some pix or something, to umm, get the deal here .

My hippy-dippy MIL got all weepy when I told her I'd had an emergency c-section because I'd missed out on the birth experience. Well, considering we'd BOTH be dead without it, I think I'm ok with that. Just 'cause your body popped out five babies at home with no problem doesn't mean mine will!

Wow! I thought CREATING a baby and caring for it properly into adulthood was part of the, "BECOMING A MOTHER EXPERIENCE." The METHOD that a child is brung into this world is not more important than producing a healthy child that is nutured, cared for, and loved.

This is so entirely a different thing. I can't adequately describe how different this is.

As you're tuned into Russian politics, could you ask them to stop shooting down civilian aircraft?

A friend of mine opted for a VBAC. TMI Alert: Her tearing was so severe that it nearly ruptured her anus. I won't go into how difficult her recovery was but it involved a urologist.

It's really hard to judge whether someone is acting against medical advice with good reason without having access to their personal medical records, which obviously we're not entitled to here. But after having a shocking number of friends post on Facebook that they're not vaccinating their children because they've…

What a prescient article! If only it came out 14 months ago when my now-ex moved in. Because giant, ugly breakups and moving back into your parents' house temporarily is shitty, shitty, shitty. This article is my life right now. I have GOT to get out of my parents' house. I feel 18 all over again.

I was surprised that Audrina Patridge (who I know is supposed to be famous for something, but I'm not sure what) went with the comic version of Mystique rather than the movie version. It was really good! She blue herself really well.

Well... yes and no.

You're adorable!

Plus she was mad and she was trying to get shit done. The gangsters had also used the language barrier to pull shit with her.

I liked Midnight in Paris and I hate Woody Allen movies

The real question is which Republican will be the first to call for a ban on Russian Dressing in retaliation...It's a tough call but I'm going to go with newly smart (aka glasses wearing) Rick Perry.

Match Point is the only film of Woody Allen's that I can stand. It also has a magnificent soundtrack.

I think there's a lot more to this story here:

The difference is that the adopted child is living regardless and any home is better than no home. There isn't that issue here. It's purposely creating a situation where the two most important people in this child's life will never full be able to understand the difficulties s/he would face as a poc. I think it's a…

I'm afraid of it setting a precedent where people just go get black sperm so they can have their mixed race brown baby as a fashion accessory. Without the risk of having to deal with actual black people.

I'm not going to defend this clinic's practices, but I do think you are comparing apples to oranges. Being black or brown in America (and I realize this story is from Canada but there are parallels) means learning a very specific set of lessons. This includes trivial stuff like skin and hair differences, and really…
