So Ryan Seacrest and E! were definitely snubbed last night on the red carpet and I don't know how I feel about it. Especially with Kobe Bryant and how many other predators winning Oscars.

I must be really behind on my Kobe Bryant gossip. I thought he was just a cheating scumbag. I didn't realize there were predator accusations as well.

I mean Kobe has always kind of dodged the bullet. I remember when the case was going down a lot of commentary was that she wanted him and that he is a basketball player who has women all over the country he didn't have to rape her. I haven't liked him sense.

Huh, huh, huh" No you fucking asshatthat isn't whatsoever is about. Still pissed at that shit stain of a human.

Yes. when they talked about it on the radio one of the DJs said oh it must have happened a long time ago because I don't remember it which a lot of this I heard when he retired and people were all oh that was a long time ago and he was found not guilty. Ok so I guess that makes it better.

Ok so I guess that makes it better. The whole thing was so gross. From what I remember, there were questions of consent because he did things she claimed she didn't want, whether or not she wanted to be in that room, whether she was willing with some things and not others, etc. He also was rumored to say things like, "Shaq does this stuff all the time and he just pays them off." Basically saying why couldn't he just do the same. Also, this was the age where the internet was becoming "huge" when it comes to stuff like this, so people found her online and were posting her pictures and name everywhere.

In 2003, I was a drunk college student who was all about protesting the war in Iraq. Not an excuse, by any means, but it is what I was doing. That's gross.

One half of that famous male duo what was on this very hit very long running network show which they have both since left is headed towards singledom again. His wife was talking last night about how they have been spending time apart because it is best for their kid(s).

I think if the Kobe case had happened today it would have gone very differently. 15 years ago is eons in terms of how attitudes have shifted towards sexual assault, both in public perception and in the courts.

Maybe, but I also think that it has really only been the past couple months. I also think the fact that many people still had that attitude when he retired recently and again when people were talked to about it last night I don't have that confidence

Oh by the way Khloe is having a girl.
if you watched the episode last night it was when she was told and she was not happy at first, but by the next day she was ok with it and of course she is taking a lot of heat for her not being happy that her baby was healthy

Haters are going to find something to pick on. I loved that Khloe showed everyone her real reaction to finding out that she was having a girl. It was such an honest reaction and I really felt connected to it. Sometimes people need a bit of time to get used to the news and let go of the vision that they had in their head.

Wont lie I did the same thing. I wanted a boy so bad and it was just what I've wanted forever. I was ecstatic that my baby was healthy and after an hour or so I was super pumped to have a girl and now I don't wish my life any other way, but yeah it is a shock when you are thinking one thinking and it ends up something different.

The doctor had to legit ask if DH and I were okay because we were so sure we were having a boy, and a/s showed girl. We were in silent disbelief. It took a good week to sink in. I haven't seen the episode yet, but I'm glad she kept it real.

I honestly see both sides of the issue. I get the people who say she needs to be grateful because I was that person saying it when I saw people less than immediately thrilled after I had my loss. But, I also understand that even before you get pregnant you sometimes have a vision and it might take you a beat or two. And something I didn't get right after my loss is that she is grateful the baby is healthy even if it does take that beat or two.

She said she’s seen a lot of people cry. So I don’t think being disappointed is that uncommon. You just have to shift your thinking about how you thought your life would be. There’s nothing wrong with that.

I've always had an ultrasound gender check. Is the blood test done to know earlier?

There are first trimester screening blood tests that look at the actual chromosomes for common genetic problems (trisomy 18, Down’s syndrome, etc) and looking at chromosomes you can tell the sex. You have to opt into the screening and some insurance doesn’t cover it so there is OOP cost. It’s like the AS that it is primarily for screening purposes, but some people opt for it just to find out the sex early.

And they asked if we wanted to know since they had the results. We didn't just opt for the blood work. But yes I knew my son was a boy at 11 weeks.

I heard on the radio that Khloe tweeted that she was not so much disappointed that it was a girl but more that she was sure was having a boy. She said it took a bit to sink in that the child was not what she had pictured.
