I don’t want to see Liz Taylor’s jewelry on Kimora. Elizabeth Taylor was a style icon, one of the greatest beauties to ever live, a thespian. Kimora is the annoying ex-wife of a super rich music mogul who has her own reality show and probably gets distracted by anything shiny. And she says things like this: Kimora can’t have Liz’s jewels. That would be like giving Kate Gosselin the Queen of England’s crown....
Anyway, yeah — green eyes are really freaking pretty, and so are the celebrities who have them. Take a look at these 52 gorgeous famous women with hazel eyes and prepare to get lost for a while.
Mongie gave birth in March 2016 and was able to spend two days alone with her son, Taggart, before he went with his adoptive parents.

“I had no previous symptoms and no real reason to suspect that they were actually going to find anything,” she says. “After my test, the cardiologist came in and told me that they were going to take me over for a CT scan. I’m an ER nurse. I immediately knew what was going on, it was just a matter of how bad it was.” According to Mayo Clinic, a thoracic aortic aneurysm is a weakening in part of the aorta that can cause life-threatening bleeding....
Despite both mom and baby being in perfect health throughout the pregnancy, Amber says that she always knew something was different — and it had nothing to do with not knowing the gender. “I really thought it was a boy but I also knew that something else was different! I didn’t know why or what but I always told my husband this baby was going to be different,” she says....
Lensing was in an airport with her infant daughter when a stranger took an unprompted photo and posted it without her permission to social media. Instantly she became the poster child for “mother who ignores child in distress because she’s on her cell phone.” More from CafeMom: Tori Roloff’s Response to ‘Perfect Parents’ Trying to Mom-Shame Her Is One for the Books People commented mercilessly on everything Lensing was doing “wrong” as a mother....
You can’t? Then lie. It’s a common reaction — one I’d often give myself before I had a baby of my own. People love to immediately offer their expert input as to who the child looks like more — Mommy or Daddy. (In addition to whether she’s “big” or “small.”) They do it as if they’re cracking some long-anticipated code. (Oh, that’s who she looks like. Finally! I’ve been dying to find out!...
Photographer Natalie McCain makes work that is both inspiring and crushing. This Florida mother of two has made headlines in the past for the “Honest Body Project,” a series of portraits of real mothers’ bodies that aren’t photoshopped, airbrushed, or perfect. But in her latest series, “Speaking Out: A Series on Judgment and Being Shamed,” it’s the heartbreaking and real stories behind the photographs that are getting the attention. Speaking with CafeMom, McCain said of the project, “One of the most important things I have learned since beginning of ‘The Honest Body Project’ is that you truly never know what someone else has been through....
“Mind you, my husband was deployed for 5 months of my pregnancy and we lived 1000 miles away. During those 5 months, I received 0 phone calls from her. Not one,” she angrily vents.

So, I decided to explore some of the other gender-prediction theories, aside from morning sickness, to see if there was some truth to any of it. I had a very easy first trimester, especially considering the fact that there were two in there. When I found out it was identical twins, I kept bracing myself for the toilet-clutching onslaught to begin, but it never did. Of course, everyone kept saying, “You’re having boys, you’re definitely having boys, I’m sure it’s boys, don’t you think it’s boys?...
So that other nanny … well … she likes to take naps. On the job. This nanny is sweet and seems to do a good job with my kids who are now very active 18-month-olds. And I work from home sometimes, so I’m there when she’s there, except when she goes to the park or playspaces with the kids. I feel I have a good grasp of what goes on when I’m home because I live in a very cramped apartment....
Although it can be painful and annoying, constipation isn’t dangerous and shouldn’t cause you alarm. But there are some prevention and treatment (ah, relief) tips to bear in mind. The Symptoms: Difficulty or straining while passing stools, infrequent stools (fewer than three in a week), gas, and bloating are all indicative of constipation. It’s something we’ve all experienced at one time or another, but when it’s during pregnancy, you may be especially concerned, so you may want to visit your doctor or midwife for an accurate diagnosis....
The question that occurred to me, as I read the discussion on padded bras for preschoolers in the CafeMom Newcomer’s Club, was, Do they even make them for 4 year olds? Yes, they do, and here’s a picture of a padded toddler bra, courtesy of one of our moms. My daughter just turned 4, so this is a new one on me. Her only undergarment issue right now is that she refuses to wear any undies that don’t have Dora or princesses on them....
The couple married soon after and now share three children: Aiden (from Lindsey’s first marriage), age 11, Alaura, age 5, and Rosalyn, age 3. In fact, pole fitness has been a circus act in other countries for centuries. According to the International Pole Dance Fitness Association, the Chinese tradition of Chinese Pole and in India, Mallakhamb, are very similar to what is now current American pole fitness, where performers use their strength to do tricks similar to the ones taught in classes like Lindsey’s....

The pregnancy test read positive as soon as I wet it. This was my second one. I burst into tears. Initially, my mind pressed fast forward to my future. My thoughts were filled with how my life goals would change dramatically. The fact that my weight and race might ultimately affect my experience as a pregnant woman didn’t come to mind. That changed after my first doctor’s appointment. The mix of being plus–sized, pregnant, and Black seemed to shake even the most experienced OB/GYN to their core....
There’s a big difference, however, between the baby blues and something more serious like postpartum depression and other mood disorders including postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, and postpartum PTSD that may require professional help. And it’s important to know the difference. But how can women know when they’re in the midst of it if what they’re feeling is “normal” or if they really need help? I spoke with Kristin B. Hodson, a psychotherapist, author, and founder of The Healing Group, to get some real-life examples of the difference between the two, with which both women and their families and friends should become familiar....
While it’s not that common, palmar erythema isn’t anything to be concerned about — and as Dr. Sears puts it, “Just a curiosity of pregnancy.” This mottled or reddening of the palms and soles is caused by increased estrogen levels during pregnancy. Studies show about 60 percent of white women will experience this, with about 35 percent of African American women too. The iffy news is, it can get itchy....
Maybe they’re uneasy with the exhibitionism we’ve had to display at times, providing actual nutrients in lieu of responsible kids’ menus at popular restaurants. But just as everyone has their own set of reasons, every mother has her own set of breasts. In other words, we’re all different and might experience the physical and emotional withdrawals of weaning differently. To varying degrees of intensity, here are some side effects you could experience....
Recently the “Real Housewife” (who wasn’t a housewife at all) made headlines when she announced that she was engaged to Jason Hoppy, a handsome fellow she met in NYC. The couple plan to wed before baby is born. Apparently there was so much gossip about her being pregnant that she had to confirm it even though she wasn’t ready to. She said her own in-laws didn’t even know when the news leaked since she’s only two months along....
