“A game one of my sisters will play with me in my first year of being alive is called Good Baby, Bad Baby. This consists of being told I am a good baby until I smile and laugh, then being told I am a bad baby until I burst into tears.

“[Our family is] a wonderfully messy arrangement, in which relationships overlap, underlie, support, and oppose one another. It didn't always come together easily nor does it always stay together easily. It's known very good times and very bad ones. It has held together, often out of shared memories and hopes, sometimes out of the lure of my sisters' cooking, and sometimes out of sheer stubbornness. And like the world itself, our family is renewed by each baby.” WorldDoeSometimesTogetherMemoriesKnownSupportBabyCookingVery GoodOur FamilyGood TimesMy SisterSheerArrangementsMessyLureStubbornness Author:Marge M.

“I've never told anyone this, in an effort to run from my past and disguise it, I got rid of all of the scrapbooks my mother kept going back to when I was a baby. Truly. So that's why whenever talk show hosts or a producer asks for these pictures, there are barely any. My sister had a few, but that's it, and this was before digital. I've never told anyone that, but that's the truth.” ShowsRunningPastMotherAsksEffortBabyProducersDigitalHostMy SisterDisguiseMy PastTalk Shows Author:Tim Gunn
“I was raised by drag queens, practically ... my mother died when I was four-years-old, so I was effectively raised by a bunch of different people. A lot of those people were friends of my sister, Kathleen, who had all these gay friends. She would baby-sit me everyday, and she would take me over to her friend's houses with all kinds of things going on: tucking, and eyebrow drawing, waxing, all sorts of things. I was literally raised by gay men.” PeopleMenYearsKindDifferentMotherHouseFourBabyGayDiedRaisedEverydayDrawingBunchAll KindsQueensTake MeMy SisterFour YearsDragDifferent PeoplesEyebrowsGay MenMother DiedDrag QueenGay FriendWaxing Author:Ellen Pompeo

“I felt so proud to be having a baby and so excited. And I felt closer to other women - to my sisters, to my mom. I felt empowered, like, 'I've given birth. I did it! There's nothing I can't handle.' I've really enjoyed this time that I have taken to be with Suri, as well as the challenges of the first couple of months: feeding and pumping, learning to decipher what each cry means - is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she need a fresh diaper? - and figuring out how to really help her.” NeedsFirstsWellsMeanDoeI CanHelpingGivenFeltChallengesTakenCryBabyMomMonthsProudBirthCoupleTiredExcitedMy MomHungryHandleEnjoyedMy SisterFeedingEmpoweredDiapersHaving A BabyDecipher Author:Katie Holmes

There were five Sendaks and there were five Wild Things, and now there's only one Sendak, and he's about to bite the dust, too! Life, as I said before, was very difficult at that time and so it was natural that there would be a change in the look of things.
