Cool, somebody with same name as me

It’s so weird to me when people name their own kids after themselves–especially when they have a girl, because it’s so rarely done.

That is one pudgy baby. I like a good pudgeball. Bet she can already hold her own head up!

Good for them! I love when you guys post items on gay families. It gives me joy and hope.

Congrats!

Who’s been pregnant with the baby,Romaine or Iris? (I don’t really know who both of them are, that’s why I’m asking :p)
