As I’ve said before, IVF pregnancies are a little different. From what I can see, women tend to either be a lot more secretive or a lot more forthcoming about them. I’ve chosen forthcoming. I wish that more women would. And I would love for stars like J.Lo, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman (all rumored IVF [...]

My first college English teacher (Patricia Skarda) told me that I would be be doing my writing a service to abandon the exclamation mark all together, but apparently that lesson never really sank in.
