My youngest son was born at thirty five weeks and weighed 10lbs 10oz. He spent two weeks in the NICU anyway. I had preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. My guess would be she had undiagnosed gestational diabetes.

That's what I was thinking too. I had a preemie born at 30 weeks and they were thrilled that she was so big at 3.5 lbs. I wonder if the way they measure weeks of pregnancy is different in NZ than in the states. I once heard that how we measure from date of last period is not how it's measured all over the world. If…

While my mom was getting dressed for church on Easter Sunday, my dad took me, in my white Easter dress, out to the blackberry bush in our back yard and let me pick and eat as much as I wanted. This is what I looked like when he brought me back.

Did they still have hair?

As a redhead, I always hypothesized that we would all know that LiLo was OK when she went back to her natural color. I am willing to admit when I am wrong.

I work at a hospital and know of lots of disgusting medical stories (most of them involve explosive diarrhea that didn't take place in a restroom), but I'm going to go with one that I was actually involved in.

I was working in a clinic in rural Africa when a kid came in with a large abscess (pocket of pus) on his cheek/jaw - roughly the size of a softball. It needed to be drained so I made a little incision in his cheek and the abscess basically exploded (think poking a hole in a balloon…only a balloon filled with pus). …

I mean...to each their own, but I just can't with this. When my grandpa died, we were leaving the visitation when Mom called to say she forgot to take off his cross pin he wore every Sunday and didn't want to forget it before the funeral. Oh, no problem, says I, and asked one of the employees if it could be retrieved.…

I was prepared to dislike this and be annoyed at anyone laughing at an elderly person getting hurt... but goddamn, this was like performance art. It's the Swan Lake of elevator falls.

Smile! Because baby/honey/gurrrl, you're too pretty to look sad, and you should focus on whether or not your face is pleasing to men.

But don't smile too much, or we'll have to kill you.

WHERE AM I? WHERE IS CALLISTA WITH MY PILLS?!?!?

What is Anderson Cooper talking about? Those things are TERRIFYING!

That's a sweet thought, but I still hate it for the same reasons Mila does. It's just plain wrong. The dude is not pregnant, period, no matter how empathetic and caring he is or how good a father he plans to be.

Note To Self: Don't be one of those hands-off moms

With an intricate system of ropes and pulleys.

I never understood how my exhausted parents (six kids) could stay up until midnight until I had kids of my own. I might be tired as hell but I must have my free time dammit. Now that I've got three under three I go to bed later than before. Yuck.

So. Many. Awesome lines!

TOO CUTE

Right, because Christians can't be bigots. No way, never.
