Today is my first day back at work after maternity leave and everyone is asking if I’m okay and if I’ve cried and I want yell, “FREEDOM IS MINE, AT LAST,” at all of them but I feel like that would make me seem like a bad mom. Newborns are BORING, no matter how adorable they are! I got to eat my breakfast with two Read more

When I was being discharged after having my son one of the nurses made me promise I would go on a “date” (she said even going to the drive thru counts, as long as the baby isn’t there) within 7 days of discharge. F the haters! Read more

I'm no professional but I don't think it is! His hand would be really hard to manipulate to look that natural resting on it! Read more

Did you ever see the back of that? I keep the photo saved on my phone because I’m so fascinated by it.

Yes! I didn’t have a single pimple my entire pregnancy and I’ve been on every acne Rx known to man since age 10. I’m only eight weeks postpartum but things are still holding steady! Read more

I'm super pale but if I do the turmeric at night I'm fine after washing my face in the AM. Read more

I got the Marula oil and I'm not a huge fan, I might actually return it. I went on a bit of a binge and bought the Sunday Riley Good Genes on the same Sephora visit and holy shit is it amazing. I think I'm going to exchange then Drunk Elephant oil for one of the Sunday Riley oils. Read more

It's amazing what those weeks mean and it's even more incredible how you can SEE how much those weeks mean when they come out. My little guy will be eight weeks tomorrow (he was polite and came right at 39 weeks, didn't make mama wait) and he changes every day, comparing pics from one week to the next is like looking Read more

Aww, thank you! He's awesome and adorable and I am so, so tired! Read more

Agreed, it’s going to freak me out even if they say it’s fine. I was contemplating not going on the trip but it’s with my husband’s whole side of the family and I know he'd be upset. Read more

I'm in MA as well, I just had a baby but plan to get pregnant again (hopefully) later this year. We are going to Aruba in November and my OB said they are currently saying 60 days after possible exposure for semen to be clean, only a week or two for women. She said they are conducting a handful of studies right now Read more

Hahaha, I basically said the same thing to my husband, “Look at these Hollywood diapers already trying to shame my newborn.” Read more

I use that soap she’s holding on my son, it makes him smell like a little orange sugar cookie! We also use their diapers, baby has skinny legs and no waist and their diapers are cut a little slimmer than others we’ve tried. I actually hadn't planned to use their products because I find the whole operation a bit smug Read more

Yeah, I saw some seriously ridiculous shit when I was doing research after our first round of testing. It was unbelievable how people would try and talk women in to keeping the fetus by pointing them to Facebook pages and websites of children who obviously had the best possible outcomes with minimal physical issues. Read more

I’ve been really surprised at the lack of furor over “selective reduction,” it happens all the time and is no different. Read more

That's exactly what happened with us, it was awful. I barely slept or ate for two weeks waiting on the results of that testing. The ridiculous thing is that all the women have to do is say they just don't want to carry the pregnancy anyway and they can have an abortion, this is just another way to make women feel like Read more

We had a Down Syndrome scare with my son who is now six weeks old, waiting for the results of that testing and questioning whether we should have the baby, one we wanted desperately after a prior miscarriage, was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my entire life. Fuck anyone who tries to politicize that. Read more

His stand up delivery is so unusually paced, I absolutely love it. Read more

Not sure how I missed this, can’t wait to watch it. I saw Jerrod in a line-up of some of the most famous comics around (Louis CK, Amy Schumer, Hannibal Burress, etc.) and he was so much funnier than anyone else there. I had never even heard of him before that night, going to find this right now (maternity leave is Read more
