Good for you for cutting off communication. I had to tell my ex to quit emailing me and calling me. I told him that I was hurting too but I couldnt be his shoulder to cry on. It wasn’t going to help either of us get through that shit faster.

“I’d rather stand my ground than be put in the ground.” From one of his shared pics... So he literally put someone else in the ground without giving her opportunity to “stand [her] ground” cuz he shot her in the back.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Iowa doesn't have the death penalty.

*hork*

I was terrified when I was pregnant as well. But look on the bright side, you’re not having a baby in the height of flu season!

There was an episode of House that touched on that. I'd forgotten about it until you mentioned it.

We used to see a movie every weekend, sometimes 2 or 3. Now we have a toddler. I’ve seen 3 movies in the theatre since December 2012 and we had a sitter for all three. A new theatre here is touting a “family friendly” showing of the Wizard of Oz but I still refuse to take the kid when he can’t sit through a full…

The methods available to lactating women are basically the mini pill, Nexplanon, and IUDs. There was no freakin way I was going to be able to take the mini pill at the exact right time everyday when I was staying home with the baby. I was horrible about that stuff before! Plus I have known a few women to get pregnant…

Mine partially expelled then got embedded. I had to go under anesthesia so they could pull it out. I suspect it got caught on scar tissue from the c-section.

Do you get PMS symptoms as well? I don’t get a period with Nexplanon (but I think that was helped by me nursing my baby when I had it inserted) though I’m starting to wonder if it’s contributing to my depressed moods that wax and wane. Since I’m not looking for a physical cue that would clue me in to what’s going on,…

The bill also says the woman can sue.

I was filling out my son’s baby book and it asked which parent various features came from. I basically flipped a coin because everything looked like “baby” to me instead of “mommy’s nose” or “daddy’s eyes.”

My mom will still bring up the woman who wore a white dress to my parents’ wedding even though they’ve been divorced for about 30 years now. Mom wore my grandma’s wedding dress (as did my aunts) so this random guest’s “new” white dress made Mom feel ashamed.

I cried that day for so many reasons! The first few times were from frustration. I sobbed hysterically while putting on my dress. I lost it again when I saw my brother in his dress blues, and again when husband and I did First Look pics. He had a few tears then, too. I got choked up walking down the aisle with my dad…

I would have hoped that a person with a loved one dealing with Crohn’s disease would have known how to spell “Crohn’s.” Yes, I’m terribly pedantic.

This is what absolutely terrified me about having a 2nd child. What if something happens to one and I still have to take care of the surviving one? How effective could I be parenting one when I can’t really deal with the loss of the other? I know it’s completely morbid which is why I haven’t shared this with my…

That was too far of a stretch just to work in your newly acquired knowledge of Shania lyrics.

I asked for something like this when Jezebel did that survey awhile back asking how we used the site and what sort of stories I'd like to read.

I would have had to be snarky and set mine up to say “X months, Y days, and Z hours since I married this dude...and got knocked up.”

There was someone I knew who set up a crowd funding thing to send his daughter to a beauty pageant and said she’d be devastated if she didn’t get to go. She’s only 4, so she wouldn’t know any different if you hadn’t told her about it before you were sure you could foot the bill yourself, genius! Also, I’m a terrible…
