Dear Hemorrhoid, I hate you. I really do. You make all the fun things in life decidedly less so. For example, sitting down. I used to take that for granted, but now I have to brace myself whenever I go in for a landing. You distract me from all that is good and force me to focus on all that is not. In...

Sure, the same can be said for all kinds of scenarios ... "there are two kinds of people." However, the extent of such is never quite so far-reaching as when it's those that have kids and those that don't to which you are referring with such a statement. This blog shall serve as an...

I have my conception confirmation appointment at my ob/gyn next week (that was the quickest I could get it) and am very excited...
