I usually like it but as a single woman I just didn't decide overnight that I wanted a baby, and when I found out it was harder than I thought I still haven't gotten over that. Like most women who want children, I'd be asking what can I do, what are the options, not, oh well that didn't work let me play some tongue hockey with some new screwed up guy (okay well maybe I might do that)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-16401104276114084012007-05-04T15:48:00.000-04:002007-05-04T15:48:00.000-04:00I'm very confused now but we're a little behind on...I'm very confused now but we're a little behind on Greys here so I guess I'll find out one day.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210823139583056706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-75577106543088160492007-05-04T13:53:00.000-04:002007-05-04T13:53:00.000-04:00Details, details...

The character suddenly decides she wants a baby and very quickly finds out she can't have one. But hey, how much can you cover in an hour.dmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736251577259346219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-18233093351440451152007-05-04T09:50:00.000-04:002007-05-04T09:50:00.000-04:00Name that blogger sounds cool!

I'd like to think that I will especially since I'm feeling a little more hopeful these days. <BR/><BR/>When it started and I realized what sort of office they were in and there was a fight over who a baby's father was I thought I may have to change it. I was afraid there might be a negative storyline on donor sperm and that is pretty time sensitive stuff in our household these days so I didn't want any negative vibes rubbing off on the hubby. <BR/><BR/>I love Addison's character so that will help, but some of it was a bit too cheesy (the kissing scene in the stairwell-who says, "I'm going to kiss you. I'm going to kiss you now with lots of tongue" Although I really did like his line AFTER the kiss). I also wonder if they are going to further explore Addison's fertility. <BR/><BR/>Today I ponder on my blog why this network suddenly has pregnancy storylines in EVERY SHOW!Somewhat Ordinaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701338805685025735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-17333204762412453782007-05-04T09:46:00.001-04:002007-05-04T09:46:00.001-04:00I also think this is a better TV portrayal than an...I also think this is a better TV portrayal than any other I've seen. But, it did irk me that she could "get over it" in the space of a two hour show. I half expected the surrogate who ended up pregnant with her own bio child to hand it over to Addison instead of thay crazy foursome! <BR/><BR/>The elevator scene struck me as very real also. I just think they need to revisit the pain/loss aspect of infertility in a few more shows anyway and not end the storyline with her driving off into the sunset with a big smile on her face. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it is TV and they have to condense everything. But, then again, I think of my own struggle and the repetitive nature of the hope, sadness, etc. and I wonder, who would watch that on TV and call it entertainment?! <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I could use one of those kisses, if that alternative medicine guy is available.beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627886826215379414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-29780594000752301352007-05-04T09:46:00.000-04:002007-05-04T09:46:00.000-04:00Boy, now I really feel like I'm the only person in...Boy, now I really feel like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't watch Grey's!

I am not an avid a watcher as you, so I didn't realize that this was going to be a "spin off". I did debate the "reality" vs "gimme a break" the whole show. (in the Addison scenes, and also in the bridal shop/mother ones- though those were funny.)<BR/>To answer your questions: YES I would want to know how high was my high FSH, and NO I don't think that hot men wax their surfboards in clinics in LA, California or anywhere in the rest of the world.<BR/><BR/>Anywyas, thanks for the roundup, as always!

What I was wondering was where they were going to go with it. Is it a one day issue, because that doesn't feel right. However, I did love the elevator and stairs scenes.TeamWinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750935087962085588noreply@blogger.com
