I was talking about this with my husband (whom I'm officially nicknaming Original Size) about how to approach this with our Sample Size (arriving early August). I think the instigating factor was seeing ads for pink cars. And how when I was a kid I played with matchbox cars, and they didn't need to be pink to appeal…

I was having a similar problem in that I was signed out, but I couldn't sign in again. When I tried it would look like I was signed in but I still couldn't comment. I ended up switching from Firefox to Chrome and it seems to be working correctly again.

My husband has been contemplating going back for a degree in photography since it's his passion (and he's been working as a photographer on the side doing weddings, head shots, food and retail photography for a few years now). I've always supported him in what ever area he wants to go.

I'm really curious what hospital you are talking about. I'm referring to Johns Hopkins, which may provide abortions (I found one site that lists them in a list of hospitals that does, but nothing on their website).

My thoughts exactly. I love him.

Despite the fact that my hospital has a giant 10 foot tall Jesus statue, as far as I can determine they are not religiously affiliated. And when I discussed the conditions that would lead me to abort my (planned and wanted) fetus to my OB and nurses, they didn't bat an eye. (Just had the genetic screening blood…

For what it's worth, I didn't know I was pregnant until I was almost 8 weeks (in fact I was convinced I wasn't), so I certainly drank wine during the first 6 weeks or so (only stopped because I started feeling really nauseous all the time...and my boobs started getting bigger...oh).

Almost 17 weeks pregnant. I'm actually more okay with giving up alcohol than lunch meat. Because where i work there is the salad place, the burger place, the asian cuisine place and the subshop (actually a couple sub places). And I've been eating a lot of salads and chicken terriyaki, but I miss my Italian Subs…

My husband does not have a college degree. But he's worked in machining jobs for the last 8 years and starting 4 years ago began an apprenticeship under a blacksmith, who retired and left the shop to my husband. So he's done very well for himself without a college degree. And I get really pissed when people think…

My husband is really skinny and has the same waist size as I do, but without the hips. He once jokingly put on a pair of my shorts and I was so pissed off that they looked better on him than me. So he's forbidden from wearing my clothing (but I steal his button down shirts to wear over leggings all the time).

My first thought too!

It's really hard to piece out contributions of environment and genetics. My anecdote is that both my brother and I were c-section babies. I have asthma and allergies and he doesn't...but my mom also has asthma and allergies. There are no cases of autism in our family, but we do have a high rate of ADD in both my…

not always. My vet always takes my dog to the back to be weighed and examined.

So when my husband was ready to propose to me, he suddenly was very concerned about getting me the ring of my dreams, having no clue what those dreams might be. He talked to his parents and they mentioned that they picked out the engagement ring together, and it was a really beautiful and meaningful moment for them. …

I'm 15 weeks, and almost don't fit in my lab coat anymore. My bump is quite noticeable. My friend thinks it's because I have a short torso. So there's no where to grow but out!

I'm in a grad program that's part of the hospital, and the day care they have is $20k a year, but as a grad student I get a stipend that makes it only $15k a year (or half my salary). And it has a year long waiting list, and you can't be put on the list until you can confirm you are pregnant, so if you are really…

That was my thought too. My first ultrasound was at 7 weeks and I could barely tell what was the embryo and what wasn't. Even at my 12 week ultrasound the fetus barely looked human. (In fact, I told everyone that I was having an alien baby, it looked pretty creepy to me.)

Honestly, as someone working in the genetics field, this kind of reaction really pisses me off. We use twins to understand heritability, but even with mental disorders and personality disorders, it's never 100%. For example, schizophrenia, which is considered to have a high heritability according to twin studies,…

My father suffered a traumatic brain injury when I was a kid that makes it really difficult to work (along with some physical disabilities as well), and has been on Disability payments ever since. But I remember when I was in high school he was able to get a part time position (<15 hours a week) working as a greeter…

Wasn't going to happen. The other team had an overall better team, but not a great seeker, where as Krum's team of chasers were not that great and were never going to be able to bridge the gap. It was either lose by a little or lose by a lot.
