My mother-in-law was with me during all four of my births and when she was sitting next to me holding my hand during the cesareans, well, I craved that.

In reality, most women 'choose' abortion because they believe they have no other choice.

I've learned to look like I'm listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I'm actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head.

It's a little bit in the genes because my brother is a journalist and my father was a sports writer.

I just don't know a couple that's been married more than three years that doesn't annoy the heck out of each other every 15 minutes.

Some people are cool with the fact that their bodies bear witness to this great thing they produced, their children, and I understand that. But on a personal level, it makes me feel better that my breasts are not down to my knees when I'm undressed in front of my husband.

But I think boys ultimately are easier than girls.
