Pregnant Women
"Listen, the "miracle of life" is amazing and all that, but hundreds of thousands of women give birth every day. And surely we all know women who act normally when knocked up. But there are the others, the ones who behave in a holier-than-thou, self-satisfied manner, those who comport themselves as though they have suddenly become royalty, and make it clear that they're doing something incredible and you and your empty uterus are not worthwhile. Should we put women on a pedestal and treat them as untouchable bastions of goodness just because some sperm managed to find an egg? Or are we allowed to make fun of the fact that sometimes, pregnant women are smug?"
I didn't know I had a right to act like I was royalty. These last 4 weeks are going to be hell Scott :)

That was hilarious! Hopefully you have at least wrangled some back rubs out of the deal...and maybe a strawberry shake or something:) Congrats on your pregnancy - enjoy your last few weeks. Can't wait to see pics of Baby Mac!!!
What a hoot! More than a little bit of truth in that video, that's for sure. It doesn't take too many sleepless nights and poopy diapers though to bring everyone back down to earth! Mom :)
