Who’s Your Baby Mama?

Do I admit that this movie looks, frankly, pretty damn funny? Offensive? I am sure. Inaccurate? Not sure. (I’m guessing yes.) While I am not the biggest fan of Amy Poehler, I hold a soft spot in my heart to Tina Fey, if only because I feel as if we always seemed to be living […]

A Story “Worthy” of Oprah?

I didn’t get to see Thomas Beatie on Oprah last week (even though reader Melis gave me a heads up as soon as she saw my post.) But the “world’s first pregnant man”’s appearance on daytime TV has come up in conversations with multiple friends this week. Luckily, I knew the plot, but I thought […]

USA’s First “Test Tube” Twins Turn 25 Today

Many thanks to reader (and buddy) Laura for sharing this news. Thanks to the daring and willingness of couples like Nan and Todd Tilton who were willing to “gamble” on “new technology” 25 years ago, they have a beautiful son and daughter who turn 25 today and thousands of those of us still trying to […]

Now, it’s one thing to not […]

A Teachable Moment - Well, It Could Have Been

So, I just returned from a two-day business trip which included a detour on the way home to the world famous Gravity Hill, which was quite a treat.
As my co-worker and I were cruising home in our adorable rental car, listening to a stack of CDs she brought along, Brittany Spears came on. A fabulous […]

Did She or Didn’t She? Does It Matter?

This article and variations of it were all over the place this weekend. Marcia Cross is on the cover of the latest issue of Health magazine. Inside, she talks about her pregnancy and future plans. Marcia says:
We decided to skip our honeymoon and try In Vitro after the wedding. I had already been through infertility […]

“The” Tyra Show Aired Friday

As you know, I wasn’t planning on watching, “Motherhood at Any Cost,” aka “Infertility According to the Tyra Banks Show,” which aired on Friday. (You might recall my rant about this a few weeks ago.) But I do admit I was curious to hear how it all went down.
Luckily, Calliope from Creating Motherhood was […]

AFA Response to the Tyra Banks Show

So, I was pretty upset by the Tyra Banks Show last week. But I wasn’t the only one. Melissa includes a link to Fertility Notes (thanks!) and several other blogs in her Thursday article for BlogHer entitled Wolves in Duck’s Clothing. And these are just a few of the posts that I have seen in […]
