Today is the RESOLVE Advocacy Day in Washington DC. At least from my window, the sun is shining and it looks to be a gorgeous day. I bet there are even some cherry blossoms hanging on, waiting to be seen.
I had been secretly harboring a hope to sneak down to DC today (it is less […]
A recent study done by Jennifer Bailey and Karl Hill from the University of Washington’s Social Development Research Group found that,

The next time you are baring your soul with your RE or precariously perched at the edge of a table at your gynecologist and s/he pulls out his/her blackberry, don’t be offended. She may be helping you.
Last month, according to Medical News Today, USBMIS, a leading provider of mobile medical software, announced the release of […]
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 […]

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 […]
I’m sure by now you’ve all seen or heard about Jennifer Lopez’s article in People magazine where she plainly denies using anything beyond good ole fashioned will power and desire to pop out her twins even though there have been rumours, reports, previous articles, photos even, pointing to other conclusions.
Now, it’s one thing to not […]
This is the best email you could ever send someone who has recently experienced a miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or simply a rotten test result. This made me laugh, smile, cry, and most importantly, know that this friend meant every single word. It is simple, nonjudgmental, and unconditionally loving - exactly what one grieving needs.
