In Sickness and in Health? Not Really…
Did you know that almost twenty-five percent of husbands leave their wives after they are diagnosed with breast cancer? Statistics say many of those marriages are in trouble to begin with, although when roles are reversed, only three percent of women leave their husbands. It makes me wonder what part of in sickness and in health do men not remember? I know of a man who left his wife after her diagnosis. Not only did he abandon her, he left their 10-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter to become their mothers primary caregivers. What kind of man does that? What kind of message is he sending his son? Another breast cancer husband I know was so unsympathetic during his wifes chemotherapy he actually told her to take an aspirin and snap out of it. OK, so most men were not raised to be caregivers, or they want their wives, girlfriends and mothers to take care of them. In addition they may be afraid of acknowledging their mortality and yours, and they may be afraid of how breast cancer will affect their sex lives. Notice I said their sex lives.

About Pregnancy Stages
Most people realize that pregnancy lasts nine months or 40 weeks. These weeks are not created equal. You will experience vast changes in your body as your baby grows and develops. Once you prepare yourself for the pregnancy stages, you won’t be as surprised when–at 10 weeks–you burst into tears at the slightest provocation.
Unique Gifts for New Parents
New parents are often inundated with practical gifts: baby clothes, diapers, bottles. Although these gifts help ease a new family’s financial burden, they do not bring the same joy that unique gifts can produce. Unique gifts tell the recipient that you spent a lot of time thinking about the present. They also ensure that your friends will not be stuck with five diaper cakes and countless yellow onesies.
The Surprising Fashion Must-Have
It’s a familiar scene: The beautiful celebrity walks the red carpet wearing a daring evening gown that seems to defy the laws of gravity. Just how does she keep everything in place and avoid embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions? The answer lies in a handy little tool called fashion tape. This double-sided tape is used to keep clothing in place and modesty intact. Problematic issues such as bra strap slippage or tops that shift and show too much cleavage can be solved with the careful application of fashion tape.
