It is about my daughter, she is 32...married once young..that didn't work had a son he is 8. Fall in love with a man that was very over powering...like a drug she couldn't get away from....after a off and on love thing they parted...but she slept with him..and got knocked up. Great! now what?...he wanted his rights "if" he had to pay, so she said don't pay and see you ..that is the cutest baby boy age 2...All because he had to be an ass. NOW...Guess what? she didn't date....but her dad worked with this nice guy...and they met. Went out for a drink..on the 3rd date...she is knocked up again. Due in Oct 2009. She is wrong and she knows that..her choices in men have not been good. I feel for her because..the man that got her PG really wants this baby....but he is not trying to be anything more .....no wedding bells...no fireworks...but...he says he wants 50/50 rights.On the day the baby is born he wants 3 days 4 days 4 days 3 days...she is having a fit,she wants him to be part of the baby's life, but they are not married...he doesn't want to pay support.....and feels if he has 50/50 he won't have too. He has been married before and has a 12 year old son..this is what he worked out with their son and it seems to work for them. The kids gos from home to home each parent taking him to a prv school. By the way he is 47 and lives with his mother at this time. It looks like he is going to fight her...go to court I guess....don't you think a court of law would say...each gets their weekend and a day during the week of some kind? A puppy isn't removed from it's momma till after 6 weeks. He tells her, qoute:"what makes you think you have more rights then I do"unqute.? Ok girl......no hubby, bad choice....but keeping her baby...it's a fight already and the baby is not here yet. What would you do?

My son was born on Oct. 2nd 2006...and we named him Jameson! I just love the name & didn't realize I was naming him after Irish Wiskey & a porn star. But still, a strong name for a strong boy. Listening to you talk about your pregnancy reminds me of myself in so many ways, I wanted a girl so bad & was sure I was having a girl & already had a name for her. My husband even said "Dammit" out loud when the Ultrasound tech showed us the pee pee. But what always got me is the "bond" of pregnancy...I get the physical bond (duh) but it's still a stranger inside your uterus. I always heard women talk about childbirth like it was this beautiful and spiritual thing. Truth in my case was a little different. When Jameson was born (C-Section) they literally plopped him up over the drape, I looked at him as he looked at me and I think we were both like "Hmm...that's it." I didn't have the Magical feeling of Love at First Sight. And because of that, I felt like WTF is wrong w/me! I kept asking my husband if I am abnormal, and will I be a good mother. What if we never bond, he doesn't like me. I know I am supposed to love him right away but it took a little time. It was the strangest feeling I have ever experienced. But we bonded and now he is my right hand man! Total mammas boy. My point is, don't feel bad if after the baby is born you still have to bond one on one, face to face! but if you have the Love at First Sight experience then I am so happy for you! (maybe more jealous j/k) Now that I am done rambling on I hope you have lots of wonderful expierences with pregnancy, childbirth, & motherhood. T, you’re gorgeous momma!

Way to go! Knocked up can be kind of harsh and takes the "love" out of being pregnant. You could always tell people the rabbit died, but that's morbid. You're a smart gal, I'm sure you'll come up with something. Good luck to you and your wonderful baby, boys love their mama's unconditionally. Girls want to get as far away as they can & will hate you til they have their own child. My 13 year old daughter already has her bags packed for college.

Do you regret the Ghandi/Groucho line? Your best is a lot better than that. I think “I’m with child” has just the right ironic touch. Do you regret the Ghandi/Groucho line?

I don't think I ever said anything different. My friends used the word prego as well and I just winced when I heard it. That's a pasta sauce, and not a very good one.
