Have you seen this? OMG. This is the most interesting show. If you did happen to catch Monday's episode, you would have seen a focus group for choosing a baby name and a CRAZY set of parents that did not seem prepared for their child to arrive in o 4 weeks! People like that drive me crazy! If you don't want to be a parent, don't have a child!
The baby name focus group was hilarious. That lady was such a you-know-what! I was a little bummed to hear the name that we've picked out as one of our boy names be thrown around in the focus group. I was hoping that I had something original! Oh well, at least the focus group like it!
The show follows Rosie Pope, who we met when she worked with Bethenny last season on Bethenny getting married, in her life as a "maternity concierge". Rosie also owns a shop for mums to be. She is on call 24/7 for her concierge clients and helps them prepare for baby.
I was excited to see the show talk about Rosie's infertility. There was a scene that showed Rosie getting all her shots and then another scene where she was crying talking about how hard it is and that she feels like no one understands. I'm glad they are talking about infertility on TV. Up until I watched Guiliana and Bill, I really had no idea was IVF was. Many of the people I talk to about our situation are able to relate through things they've learned on reality television.
The following excerpt is from Rosie's blog discussing why she chose to talk about her infertility on the show:
I've been getting a lot of questions about my decision to discuss my infertility on the show. For me it was about being honest and opening a dialogue. The road to parenthood is not necessarily an easy one for everyone, and even if you don't end up doing IVF, many people have a hard time (or a harder time than they expected) getting pregnant. It is still one of those topics that is an extreme challenge to talk about, so I hope I make it just a little easier. I also think part of why I am so good at what I do is because of all that I have been through both trying to become a mother and as a mother. Infertility is nothing to be ashamed of, and I hope to provide some support and comfort to the millions of women that have struggles. And let's face it, I've been around so many pregnant women there is nothing related to the subject I won't discuss, and I hope that is refreshing for people.
