Kate's potential new man: ...So much to adress!<br /><br />Kate's potential new man: I really agree that Kate will do well with a real man that can stand up for himself and to her. I think the main reason she was so bossy with Jon was because he let her. I may not have agreed with some of the way she treated him back then but I guess he never commanded the respect either. I used to think that she would do that to every man she met BUT I have since changed my mind. <br /><br />Disclaimer: This next statement is in no way trying to say that Kate does have something going with her body guard. It's just an observation I have made. While watching several of the shows where they show Kate interacting with Steve, there have been many times where he has gotten very firm with her and basically told her to suck it up and deal with things etc. I have cringed waiting for her to bark back at him but it never comes. It seems like he can really put her in her place and she accepts this. I don't know if it is his job to take care of her and she accepts that or whether it is because he won't take any crap from her but I have a feeling it is the latter because the conversations where he was firm with her were personal conversations (the one that comes to mind is where they were riding in the limo and she was crying and saying she couldn't bear to goto dance practice because of all the bs with Jon trying to take custody). Based on this, I can see that if the right person comes along and is the right combination of forceful and caring, Kate would ease up. Maybe she would even be relieved that all the burden of raising the kids and running the house wasn't on her. Maybe that was why she was always so mad at Jon because he was too laid back and never took initiative for anything. Anyway, just a thought!<br /><br />Linda - Thanks for pointing me in the right direction to finding the last episode. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet so I haven't seen the "smoking" clip but to be honest, I don't think I need to see it because I can't fathom Kate lighting up especially with the kids running around all over the place.<br /><br />As for the spray tan issue, I don't know why it is an issue! What is wrong with spray tanning? I personally don't do it but to me it is just the same as going to get a pedicure or manicure or dye your hair etc. It is also a more responsible way of getting colour on your skin. Would people prefer that she baked under the sun because then she wouldn't be spending money doing it? Oh, and on the topic of money, I have to say that even if Kate spent something out of the Kate Plus 8 money, she is entitled because her name is on the show too and she is opening up her life for the public to consume as well as the children so she is entitled to a paycheck too and I know she puts aside most of it for expenses and the kids have their own share but who is anyone to criticize her for spending part of it on herself? Don't we all spend money out of our family's earnings to do hair, nails etc. provided that the bills are paid first? It's not like she does her spray tans while her kids are starving for food or anything. Just 2 cents on that one.<br /><br />Baby Mama - I know what you mean about coming back from vacation. #1 Vacations are NEVER long enough and #2, unpacking is such a beast. It takes me a day or two to unback after a simple day at the beach. lol Oh, and I'm very glad you and your family are safe after yesterday!<br /><br />I know I'm forgetting something I wanted to comment about but if I remember, I'll be back. :)another momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511884814995959935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-8646638536588215822010-09-17T12:53:01.836-04:002010-09-17T12:53:01.836-04:00CMo3 - Yes, they were even showing an injection to...CMo3 - Yes, they were even showing an injection to do the varicose veins.

Just learned from doctors on Rachael Ray show that there are new non-surgical treatments for CSection muffin top, saggy crepe skin, and scaring. One is a different laser treatment that tightens all that skin (Photos shown were incredible!) along with silicon surface patches and other laser treatments to make scars seem to disappear! According to the surgeon and dermatologist, many of these non-surgical treatments are even covered by insurance as counter correctives to the aftermath of CSections and other scars. I will investigate next week and email you.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-75697819908968101652010-09-17T09:13:53.603-04:002010-09-17T09:13:53.603-04:00I didn't see the news today yet.

Oprah, could on her covers be a great advocate for keeping it real & actually looking like the rest of us flaws & all.<br /><br />I just don't think Kate has the star power...YET to buck that trend. Let's face it, if Oprah or many of the really powerful celebs don't try & change it...why & how would she?<br /><br />The C-section pooch..I did manage to get a flat tummy after my first. I was younger, it took years of really hard work,& I had a post divorce stress diet:), plus the surgeon was apparently awsome. At my second section the DR said it was a beautiful incision.<br /> <br />8yrs later I had another section, two years ago I added a 3rd this one a vertical due to complications...needless to say I am now the "proud?" owner of a bum in the front similier to Kates b4 surgery.<br /><br />Losing the the combined baby weight is still a work in progress. I know I'm never going to get rid of it all..unless perhaps I get a TT. I was in the hospital for so long with my last baby & had so many awful experiences... diet & exercise will have to do. I just have to actually "DO IT" more.:0momsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225688630752604739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-73876108585850438872010-09-17T08:55:15.213-04:002010-09-17T08:55:15.213-04:00Re Kate's bikini: I had no idea how popular th...Re Kate's bikini: I had no idea how popular this swimsuit is nor all the colors available! On different celebrities, this model suit has been featured on the cover of no less than 12 magazine covers in the last two months, from weekly mags to monthly mags, from gossip mags to fitness mags, from Alicia Keyes to two Kardashians (Kim & Courtney) to Kate, as well as many just celeb photos.I'd bet that every single one of those photos was photoshopped somewhat, for color correction if nothing else.<br /><br />One rag in particular wants to compare Kate at the beach to Kate on the People cover. Interesting that he chose to use a photo of Kate from a year ago with current. (Easy to tell from the child in the photo not to mention Kate's hair.)<br /><br />Kate is faulted for spray tans. What? Much healthier than living in the sun, right? It is also excellent for covering scars and stretch marks. When you spend time in the sun, scars get whiter and more stark; scars don't tan. IMO, no more dumb to spray to correct a scar than wearing contacts to correct vision and control squint, whitening teeth, and many other things.<br /><br />The point is: it is her money (from DWTS & interviews, commentaries, etc.) exclusive of any money earned from Kate+8. She earned it. She has the right to spend it however and on whatever she chooses.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-58706619642613058792010-09-17T08:49:55.190-04:002010-09-17T08:49:55.190-04:00Baby Mama--Thank goodness!!

Picking football games is a far cry from getting back on TV, but it could be a bridge for Jon tog et his name out there while at the same time maintaining some sort of private profile. <br /><br />While Jon is doing this, Kate's People Magazine cover (featuring her in a bikini) will hit newsstands around the country.

I was VERY fortunate that my boys didn't have those issues. They did have the oxygen in the hospital in the beginning (they were born at 28 weeks)but outgrew the prematurity breathing problems very well as they got to full term and by the time they were released they were off all the oxygen for a while. That said, they can suffer from something called reactive airway for a while in early childhood and just because their systems are more fragile, it is told to parents of preemies that they should never be around smoke. Reactive airway resembles asthma in nature but it does not happen for the same reason other kids have asthma. I believe one of the reasons preemies are susceptible to this is because most of them are intubated for long periods and having the breathing machines in their lungs causes scar tissue. When they get a cold, it tends to make them wheezy and have asthma like syptoms so compounding something like that with exposing them to smoke is not a good thing. Although my kids were only intubated for a day or so when they were first born (and got tired breathing on their own), my one son has a little bit of reactive airway when he gets a cold. He gets wheezy in his chest and has to have this syrup that opens up the airways. The good thing is that they do outgrow this by the time they are about 5 but in the meantime, you don't want to expose them to anything that will make them sicker with a common cold or virus. Once again, I thank God that my kids are in great health for having been born pretty much 3 months early but there are things like this that are general rules of thumb for preemies. So I would hope Jon did quit at that time rather than just going outside to smoke or whatever because having the smoke on your clothes and handling the babies is just as bad as smoking in the house IMO. Anyway, that is my piece on preemies and the no smoking rule. In the couple of months that my boys were in the NICU, I learned a lot about preemies. I think I could write a book! ;)another momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511884814995959935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-28289524230251874182010-09-17T00:32:58.184-04:002010-09-17T00:32:58.184-04:00I agree Linda that Kate would want that kind of ma...I agree Linda that Kate would want that kind of man.

In that, I mean that I don't think she'd be interested in another man-child. I'm not putting down Jon. (I don't think he has a clue about what he wants in life yet, nor knows himself. I wish him health, love success & happiness.)<br /><br />I think it's gotta be someone who can speak up and knows his own mind, what he wants, and has a goal & direction in life. Tactfully, I don't think a couch potato need apply. My guess is that she will be very cautious in getting involved. Certainly I would think it would have to someone who is fit and wants to live a healthy, active lifestyle. It will be interesting to watch and see.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-82058639345290635122010-09-16T23:59:29.419-04:002010-09-16T23:59:29.419-04:00I agree Linda, Kate's new man (for lack of a b...I agree Linda, Kate's new man (for lack of a better term) must be self-relient and self-assured.
