A Rule We Should Live By: Don't ask a woman if they are pregnant.


Nothing can ruin your day quicker than a fellow human being asking,"When are you DUE??!!" when you are not pregnant.


Before Christmas I am going to admit, I fell off the watching what I ate wagon. French fries for breakfast, sure! Ten cookies instead of two, okay! They sure do taste good. Why not just one more, no one will notice. This lead into a nibble here, a nibble there, a handful of candied pecans here, pudding before bed there.


I was awful, I admit it. The funny thing about overindulging is, it does catch up to you. I could tell my dresses were hiking up in the back a little too much from my tummy approaching my breast line but nothing could bring me to stop this munching. The end occurred when in one month, I had three separate people ask me if I was expecting. THREE!! After the third, I wrapped up my overindulgence and stepped away from the refrigerator. Wii Fit is my friend and I'm getting there. Hitting the over thirty market sure puts your weight into a whole new perspective. For some reason my old diet of eating what I want, drinking what I want and only exercising when I'm dancing at a club just don't cut it any more and that really stinks!


BUT:


It still gives you no right to ask a woman if they are pregnant unless they make it known. I mean make it known by wearing those cute but obnoxious shirts that say,"Baby on Bladder" or "Stand Back! Crazy Pregnant Lady Coming Through" or "His swimmers can swim."


Start a new rule in your life today. Don't ask a woman if she is pregnant.

Another Kardashian With Nothing Better To Do Than Pose Nude


When will this family go away? I do not understand the reasoning behind their so called "glamour." If it's not Kim with her ever changing hair wigs or problems with spending too much money on clothes or falling asleep with her sunglasses on while sunbathing, it's Kourtney "forgetting to take the pill," or worrying about some sex tape that was released to the media.


Today it's been made public knowledge that Kourtney may pose nude. When asked if she would pose nude for a magazine like Rolling Stone, Kourtney Kardashian replied, "I think so. I'd have to think about it."


Do these reality stars have nothing better to do than pose nude and star in sex tapes? Just asking?

Jude Law Becoming Father For Fourth Time: In a relationship, whose responsibility is it to take care of birth control?


Reading the news that Jude Law, hot English actor whom looks even hotter in the 2004 drama, Closer, with Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman, is to become a father for the fourth time. As news outlets emerged with details on the pregnancy with a woman he was once in a relationship with is fascinating to me. Especially when you read the news online and then read the comments posted after the fact. Many shout out, "Use a condom!" or "Heard of a vasectomy?" Others shout back, "Why wasn't she on the pill?" or "What an opportunist!"

Jude Law has three children from his previous marriage with Sadie Frost. The couple divorced in 2003 after admitting he had an affair with the couple's nanny. This time around, he will become a father again with aspiring model/actress Samantha Burke.

"After he left, she found out she was pregnant. She tried to reach him, but the cell phone number she had for him was a temporary number that he only used in New York while filming" the source said. The two met while he was shooting Guy Ritchie's version of Sherlock Holmes, which was filmed in New York last winter.

Whose responsibility is it to take care of the birth control? Should the woman make sure she is protected or should men carry the brunt of this decision?

Maybe both should think about the responsibilty before rushing into bed when lust calls?

What was your pregnancy style?


My mother always described the maternity clothes she wore while being pregnant with me as horrendous. By the time I was pregnant with my first, things were not much better. I mostly wore this yellow and white seersucker top and white maternity shorts.I got pretty comfortable in that uniform. After my pregnancy was over, I burned those things.
With my second, it seemed the world was finally catching up with the idea that women got pregnant and while pregnant parts of the body seem to grow larger during this transformation. The maternity line at Target was a saviour. I was in love with tank tops and long floral skirts. The photographs marking the era were not so kind.
Luckily by the third, I had figured out what worked and what did not. I still loved the tank tops from Motherhood Maternity but now instead of long floral skirts, Capri's were the finishing touch to the uniform of my pregnancy. (I guess you figured out so far that I have all summer babies?)
Kendra Wilkinson, "Maternity clothes are not for me!" the pregnant Playboy cover girl has said.
"I'll just buy bigger things!" she went on. [US Magazine]

Were you able to buy "bigger things" or did you have to venture into the maternity section when pregnant?
