Congrats! I found out I was pregnant one year ago yesterday. Little guy is four months (didn’t know I was pregnant for awhile!). Best wishes to you!

Same! Only ours was harvest gold and we had the matching stove!

I have the equinox bunny come on Easter to help celebrate the start of spring.

Not really. I’m basically mildly insane at all times.

Fuck: Legolas

I’m so glad Jezebel is having this conversation! I went through years of unexplained infertility, miscarriage, and just plain awful heartbreak. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine did end up helping me conceive, well that and a good bikini wax, a vacation, and probably a miracle. When my son was about a year we decided…

I’ll be 38 on Friday and I’m holding my 3 month old while my just turned two year old eats snacks. This is my “me” time. I need like a year long nap.

I don’t think you understand how ivf and infertility issues normally work.

Mark! I’m so thrilled to see you back here. I love reading your pieces. Thank you for sharing this. I’m fortunate to have a wonderful mom, but for other reasons have had difficulty with the mother’s day holiday. Thank you for sharing your story and being so honest, I know it will be a comfort to many others.

Thanks! Yeah, I know not to forcibly retract. I tell all the people who might change diapers the same. We just wash it like a circumcised penis for now and will instruct further when it fully retracts.

Thanks! Yes, foreskin is all very foreign to me but I’m glad my boys have theirs and want them to be able take care of it properly and talk about it too.

I am the parent of two little foreskin-havers. At what age did you discuss the proper cleaning? My oldest is just turning 2.

Both my boys were born when it rained/snowed and my second a day after the full moon. My midwife says both barometric pressure shifts and the full moon do make a difference in her experience.

Right on. I appreciate flip.

With both boys we’ve had to go through more of a hassle to get them social security cards because the forms at the hospital didn’t accommodate the longer names. I get inconvenient.

Congrats! That’s super awesome. I would be thrilled if one of mine gets a Fulbright!

I gave both of my boys four word names, are they doomed!? I surely hope not. The second middle name (my last name) is understood as optional.

I’m reading this while laying next to my napping 10 week old. He’s breathing, I just checked.

The healing balm is a miracle worker but otherwise it’s whatever.

This, so much this. The hypocrisy just shows they are all just bigots.
