You Have Every Right To Be Proud, But I Don't Need To See Your Uterus

I totally get that you are going to have a kid, or your second kid, or the most recent of your gaggle of children.

I totally get that on a daily basis, you are or will be re-experiencing life again through the eyes of a small mini-You who was conceived on a bed of rose petals, totally sober, and by two people who were madly in love and wanted to complete a piece of the puzzle.

I totally get that your entire life has changed and you now have a perspective and a selfless attitude you have never experienced before in your life.

I totally get that if and when my husband and I decide to have children we will be so whacked out of our minds with happiness and also so sleep-deprived that we may impose impulsive, Tom-Cruise-couch-jumping drama on the rest of the world because we don't know how else to express it.

I still do not want to see your uterus on Facebook.

  2. I also am wondering what the appropriate response to a photo like that is. Your baby may look like a scary alien right now, but I am sure it will develop nicely? Your uterus looks comfy? I mean, what?

  3. couldn't agree more. and dont even get me started on the 3-D versions. our baby girl is 8 months old and I liked seeing her face for the first time on the day she was born. :) you may need a follow-up to this on what I call 'facebook-mom' posts about potty, naptime, and ear infections. love your blog!
