I may regret asking this but I'm curious! Since my husband and I are thinking about starting a family, I gotta know - what's the one thing (or things) you wish someone had told you about pregnancy or child birth before you went...

jesssp You hit the nail on the head - as scary as it may seem, it's definitely worth it in the end

Since November 8th of last year up until the 13th of of september I was on some form of birth control. But after a trip to the Er I was told that I couldn't take birth control and that it wasn't safe for me. Well up until I took...

jesssp Did you try a First Response test? They are supposed to be more sensitive than the others. But if you're almost 2 weeks late it should, in theory, show up on the other OTC tests. One thing I've learned through research in the last little while is that...

jesssp Lol! I know exactly what you mean, it is pretty overwhelming. In so many ways I would rather not know, but then I wonder what would actually be worse - knowing and being freaked out, or not knowing and having the terrible surprise?!

I'm sitting here playing Poppit and myLotting when I should be attempting to put a budget together. May sound funny, but I haven't actually don't one since like the 1980's. Last week I called my financial advisor, told him I've...

jesssp I've never had a budget, or had to stick to a budget. Which I suppose makes me rather spoiled. I've always been on salary, so my pay is the same every month which makes it easier to keep an idea of where we're at in my head. Pretty much since we've been...

As in, where did you meet them? I have to say the majority of my friends are from elementary school. A couple I have stuck with from middle school. But it seems like no one from high school and I talk anymore -- or college for...

jesssp Our friends are from all over the place. We still hang out with the same people we did in highschool but as time went on they made new friends, we made new friends, and of course everyone started to pair up. It's worked out really great and we now have an...

Ever since the Brown's came out in their series, Sister Wives, I've occasionally thought about the concept of a man having multiple wives. There are occasions when I wish I was in that instance because then I wouldn't have to deal...

jesssp I know I couldn't do it. I could not share. I think I definitely have a tendency towards jealousy and I just can't imagine my husband with another woman, it would rip me apart. I'm also quite competitive, but at the same time I hate competition. If that makes...

Its true I don't want to know what my wife likes,but I'm busy searching her dislikes and what she hates. I think its better for me to know what she doesn't like so I can avoid them and what she love I just go with it. Her...

jesssp I think you should be conscious of both. If you paid extra attention to her likes and made an effort to make them happen then she would probably not worry too much if you accidentally stumbled on a dislike :)

When I was young, I was very thin. Since going into my later years, I have gained 50 pounds. I am now fat. I am not good at losing weight. I have joined the Y but manage to not get there very often. I always find...

jesssp It sounds like you know what you need to do but the problem is getting motivated to do it. I hear ya, I'm the same way! Have you ever tried joining work out classes or groups, or organized one? Sometimes having it be more of a social thing helps and having...

jesssp Speaking from experience, the novelty of having a job that doesn't challenge you WILL wear off. Having a job where you do very little may be a nice ride at first but after a while it starts to really bring you down. Your days creep by slowly and you end up...

I don't find height and age as an issue when it comes to relationships. Because what important most is that you both love each other despite of your differences and gaps. :)

jesssp I think they both matter, but to what degree is definitely a personal thing. For me age is important because I want to be with someone who's in the same place in life as me, who wants the same things and at more or less the same time. That doesn't mean being...

I was thinking, when will be the right age for girls to have an ear piercings? I got curious about this. Any idea?

jesssp For me personally I think the right age is when they're old enough to want it done and can make the decision for themselves. I have no problem seeing little girls with their ears pierced, I think it's adorable, but I think they should be able to decide whether...
