Depending on where you are a nanny service might be less expensive than an actual day care center when multiple children are involved.

And he’s not the first. Way back in 2010 there was a girl from Long Island. The takeaway should be Sponge Bob for everyone! http://nypost.com/2010/04/23/12-…

Do they still “baptize” dead non-Mormons?

I drank decaf specialty drinks while pregnant when some caffeine was okay, but my normal amount was not.

I spent every lunch break during my first trimester sleeping in my car. And when I wasn’t sleeping I was snacking, so I wouldn’t feel sick.

I’ve found that a lot of chicken sausage/hot dogs still use pork casings.

I’m in Ohio and feeling panicky, because I feel this is in our near future (even though it won’t be quite the same since tissue donations are illegal here).

4 years of fertility treatment, 4 pregnancy losses, 1 micro-preemie twin birth. It was absolute hell—all of it. And it’s hard to be open when you’re going through it (not because there’s necessarily shame that your body isn’t doing what it’s “supposed” to, although some people do feel that way), but more because of…

Pregnancy was the absolute worst and had I known how awful it would be I would have pushed more for adoption. Not joking at all.

A higher up in my office was given the name Bobby by his parents. He received so much mail addressed to Robert by people trying to be polite and formal.

It’s like when grandparents don’t want to be called Grandma or Grandpa, because it makes them sound old. EYE ROLL.

Clearly not all of her coworkers were okay with taking on her alcohol ordering passengers in addition to their own.

Agree! Insemination isn’t cheap. And people who use sperm donors (lesbian couples, single women, couples needing fertility treatments) put a lot of consideration into picking a donor. Hair color, eye color, background, etc.

She’s doing great (It’s been about 4 years now). It was a blood loss problem, which resulted in an emergency hysterectomy. It was very touch and go at the beginning and it was a long recovery. But any time someone (especially an anti-choicer) tries to act like pregnancy is no big deal . . . oh man. My friend gave…

One of my friends nearly died in her early 30s with her 2nd child. The baby went home with her husband while she was still in a coma.

Habitual aborter here. (It’s in my chart.) I’ve also had an elective abortion, but I have a hard time with her negative feelings about using surgery to remove the non-living products of conception from her uterus.

I’m not ultra-orthodox, but I think you’ll like This is Not a Love Story. I don’t feel it’s overly critical and the strength shown by the author’s mother was the real story to me.

I read This is Not a Love Story recently and absolutely recommend it. I shed quite a few tears.

Yeah the whole not single thing was the biggest shocker here.

People my age act like participation ribbons/trophies are new. Let me tell you I am 36 years old and I remember getting them when I was in elementary school. And I refuse to believe we were the first class ever to get these.
