thank you, thank you!! :)

Thank you! I love you too! I'm glad your scars are back to feeling normal. Mine is getting better bit by bit.

what a misguided young thing.

As my dignified southern grandmother would say, "I hold Tim W's girlfriend's legs grow together."

You guys. I just made up a joke:

bodies are such weird creatures! Good luck with everything, and sorry for my temporary lapse in sanity-it is none of my business if your children are planned or not!!! ;)

Oh my goodness! I remember reading/commenting along with you while we were both preggo. Congratulations :) Irish twins...or close to it! Best of luck! (also, I read that as "to donate my latest WHOOOOOOOOOOOPS pregnancy and I thought "how does one donate a pregnancy?!" and then I re-read and it made so much more…

Eeek! Sorry to have added to the 800000 people who were like "I did!" happy notification day to you! ;)

My first sonogram (10 weeks) was vaginal. When I asked the ultrasound tech she explained that when the fetus is so small like that they can get a more focused picture or some such nonsense like that. I was pretty much too in shock that holy shit this was real to remember everything she said besides "yep! there it is!"…

OMG. I somehow started following a crazy conservative one night and woke up with a page FULL of anti abortion garbage. Then I engaged the idiot and now we are in a Pinterest war. I cannot quit fighting with the idiot.

I have used the microphone to "shhhh" my daughter (not like SHHHHH ASSHOLE but the shh they teach you in parenting classes that mimics the ambient noise in the womb or whatever) because once she sees me? Game over. When she wasn't sure how to fall back asleep it was really helpful.

I installed AdBlock...and promptly forgot. But wondered why my facebook hasn't been nearly as annoying and I know why now! I love that AdBlock. (so unrelated to the topic at hand, my bad)

"Yo soy embarazada" was my first and last 'spanglish' mistake I ever made in first year Spanish!

Awww, thanks! :)

also: did not mean to imply you don't have good relationships with others (if that's how it came across. The middle child guilt/fear of offending runs strong in my veins)

That drawback is pretty much the only reason I'd consider having another child. But then I think of my husband, and he has absolutely no relationship with his brother, whereas my two sisters are my very best friends. I'd say close relationships between siblings that I am friends with (does that make sense? my friends…

I love this insight. It is true, parents can be a real pain in the ass, and I do love calling my sisters to lament my parent's annoyance! I'll have to consider how to deal with that. RE: taking care of sick parents. My parents have been laying it on thick that when they're old and useless (their words) we'll have to…

I have to politely disagree. I'm not invested in professional basketball, but this story is intriguing. I don't follow deadspin, but clicked through from a shared link someone posted on facebook. I watched the clip and had an emotional reaction to it, and now I might even watch the game to see what else they do.

Completely agree. OPA would probably take this case in an instant and maek his wife look like the liar. I mean, if OPA was real life. She hasn't exactly shown to always defend the good guy.

Wait. This lucky lady was married first to George until right before ER began (so basically in the peak of my adolescent obsession with him) and is now married to John (as I am in the peak of my adulthood obsession with HIM?) How is life fair?! And how can someone without diagnosed daddy issues (me) be so attracted to…
