I had a transvaginal ultrasound when I had an abortion. I wasn’t happy about it, but knew it was a requirement. The women at my local planned parenthood were very sensitive & never forced me to look at the images. It’s horrific & sad to me that men are making these rules which make a hard situation even harder.

I swear people like this think fetuses are like the little babies you get in king cakes. Just miniature versions of fully-formed babies. And that they only need to grow in size not in complexity.

“Most people I talked to, whether they’re pro-life or not, I find people all the time who get out their iPhone and show me a picture of their grandkids’ ultrasound and how excited they are, so that’s a lovely thing. It’s just a cool thing out there....”

It is quite theatrical! I think it’s a very elegant name without sounding too hoity toity.

That is a totally acceptable and romantic way to do it.

Did your friends get their money back? That’s beyond unprofessional and almost no photos? I’d be crushed.

It really is so selfish. I was at a wedding of good friend of mine and it so happened that the photographer and DJ were dating and were friends of the bride and groom and entire wedding party. The DJ proposed to the photographer during the reception and of course the photographer said yes. The photographer was so…

There is a way to do it, at my brother’s wedding reception one of his ushers went for a walk in the garden with his girlfriend and proposed and then they didn’t tell anyone about it till the next day. Romantic situation and no one’s thunder stolen.

If I ever do actually have a baby, I LOVE the name Ursula.

Feedback, please.

Also, any Ursulas out there? How do you feel about your name?

FOR REAL. The only worse place to propose than someone else’s wedding is someone else’s funeral.

Oh I have the best story about a wedding proposal...

Oh, my sweet summer child.

That's adorable!

Christ, that’s bad. My aunt’s MIL wore head to toe BLACK (with a lace face cover on her hat) and told everyone that she was in mourning for her only son throughout the wedding. That was fun!

I thought incidents like this were the stuff of myth. When my best friend got married, I even felt bad I was taller than her and tried to find ways to make myself seem shorter so I’d not take all the attention.

It is sad that this needed to be written. But, THANK YOU.

Truth! They also look good on enough of a variety of beautiful faces that mere mortals can be tricked into thinking it would be a flattering haircut and trying it out.

I just hope those bangs are not coming back. Obvi she is gorgeous, but those bangs still look awkward. Just an awkward, terrible no good fringe style.

QUICK! Everyone share the titles of their prospective memoir!
