hah, i'm 34 weeks and have a similar request! first meal post delivery: bagel, half lox half egg salad. second meal: sushi... so much sushi. then at some point a crap load of oysters. i'd also love an ice cold beer somewhere in there. until then, dreaming of that bagel. it's going to be the best bagel ever.

My friend has a tradition in her Irish family. Once the baby is born and family visits the hospital, they bring a bottle of Whiskey in honor of the baby. Everyone takes shots in the room. Doesn't matter if the mother is breast feeding, she drinks up too.

Total prude LOL

Pssh. Prude.

Not too long ago GP said that it would be easier to be a mother working a regular office job 40-50 hours a week than what she does now, which is to shoot on location away from her kids for two weeks a year and make millions of dollars doing so.

I smell SITCOM!

I'll be your philanthropic, slightly misanthropic next-door neighbor who adopts all the dogs so that all the babies can play with them. If I may.

What a dream. Total sincerity. Like, I actually hope this is my dream tonight.

An omen: You will have many children, but most of them will not survive.

This is the finest most comprehensive list I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Bless this.

There are a few things about that letter which make me think some, much or most of it is not authentic, but I can't prove any of that so, for the sake of conversation, let's just assume the entire thing is true. That being agreed upon...

I think this is a tremendous idea. I can't tell you how many times I've wandered into an abortion clinic thinking it was an Arby's. Once, it wasn't until my feet were in the stirrups that I realized "Heeeeeeeeeeey! Wait a minute! I ordered a Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich, but I think they're about to perform an…

But because of legislation like this, you have to drive 4 hours to get to the clinic. Now they want you to wait three days and then make the trek again?

The day they make a man wait 72 hours for a vasectomy, after counseling and after viewing pictures of all those babies he will no longer father, then maybe I will consider this fair. But they don't and they never will. Ever.

This is a blatant attempt by the government to control women and their reproductive options. Trying to coerce a woman seeking an abortion into not having one is wrong. Whether it be by the spread of misinformation, or the implementation of unnecessary waiting periods. Contrary to what the right wing would have you…

If a woman wants an abortion, a 72-hour waiting period is not going to deter her. She already made it past the inevitable line of protesters calling her a whore and murderer, so I doubt that having to wait is going to do much (this is, obviously, not including the extremely worrying scenario where it is an emergency,…

I don't really know why I'm replying cos this is clearly a troll comment...but I'd like to scribble down my thoughts anyway. A woman (men too, of course) can spend a tremendous amount of effort on her appearance and still hate her body. Take me for example. There are days I spend a good 30 mins applying make up, 15…

Bahahaha. As if I needed to take you seriously diagnosing someone's health based on a picture from a blog. But in any case, I'll point out that, statistically, people who are 'medically overweight' (by which I assume you're talking about BMI, which is not a medical concept in any way, shape or form) actually live…

From Ms. Brumfitt's blog:

In the article, there is no mention by this woman that she doesn't put effort into her appearance, or that other people shouldn't. See, this illustrates the problem: If a woman doesn't look like a fitness model/fashion model/ingenue of the moment, then she must not care about or put any effort into her appearance,…
