Re: that picture of Annie, Kristin etc at a fashion show - are shows like that actually enjoyable? I see celebrities snapped at these things all the time, but watching stoic-faced mannequins angry walk down a catwalk in clothes no human would wear in public sounds... not fun. Has anyone been to one? Must one be REALLY…

You are my hero. That is so awesome I love high school you!!! So like, HOW white is Mormon Utah? Like the most white? Or is it more diverse cause it’s the mecca of all Mormons?

UGH they are so fucking cute I want to DIE

When Jessyca (ick) started tearing up there? Oh my god, my heart. That poor woman.

Hey, we could be from the same neighborhood! I said it in another post, but really, every Mormon I grew up with was as kind and generous as you could get. Sure they couldn’t watch The Crucible in English class and one almost converted my best friend cause he was so hot she basically would have done anything to touch…

May I ask if you were adopted (feel free to not answer, obviously incredibly personal)? In my town, there were many Mormon families who had several kids AND adopted more from African countries and I always wondered if those kids grew up thinking “man, did you just adopt me because your religion demands you spread “The…

Can you give me an idea of what he says in it? I lost a friend to addiction recently and think listening would make me sob like a baby, but I’m so interested in what he says.

Oh my god he was so good. I love when Harris doesn’t realize he’s interviewing for the same job he got fired from. UGHHHH. (trying to link to the moment here, hopefully it works, if not, 6:16!!!) His laugh just makes my heart melt.

I admit I am not as much of a BC lover as many (it’s great, no doubt, it too much of it grates my nerves)... but when Ilana wore this sweatshirt I was couldn’t stop laughing. LOOK AT IT. ITS PERFECT!

is... is this real?

Congratulations mama! Hope you and your little one are going well. Thanks for the advice :)

Oh man. I so appreciate all your comments, I am almost tearing up (wait, is that period about to come or early pregnancy symptoms?! Oh god, another thing to not Google)! I especially like hearing advice from a so-soon mama-to-be. GOOD LUCK AND BIG HUGS TO YOU!!!!!

Well THAT sounds unpleasant. (But I do love the idea of dad getting to hold lil nugget right after birth. As a lady whose manpiece is pretty scared shitless of having kids, the idea that he’ll have some one-on-one time to connect with son/daughter makes me pretty happy)

Very helpful! That’s kinda what I figured (good idea if possible; if not ITS FINE CALM DOWN)... but holy cow there are some passionate unmedicated-vaginal-birth-in-a-tub-with-immediate-skin-to-skin-if-you-love-your-child activists out there that are real good at making the alternatives seem detrimental!

I love this reply. Thank you!

UGH I KNOW I SHOULD ITS SO HARD. I’m already such a hypochondriac that reading these things is probably actually physically bad for my health but late at night when I’m falling asleep its like “oh let me just real quick read some traumatic birth stories great idea”.

I really like this reply because I never put together that that extra time could be bonding time with pops! That makes my heart oh so happy. Thanks for your input!

I’m currently playing the “trying to conceive” game and so have fallen down the rabbit hole of birth-photography Instagram pages and keep seeing these posts about how skin-to-skin is SO IMPORTANT, but that many women don’t get it after a c-section because the doc whisks little bebe away while mama’s coming off…

What the actual fuck.

I grew up and went to school in El Cajon - my mother still lives there just blocks from the location of the shooting - so this hits really close to home. What a fucking horrible tragedy.
