Congratulations, Snooki!

So, have any of you been to the Us Weekly website lately? I mean, I know it's been an unusually big week in celebrity births and pregnancy announcements, but good luck if you happen to be an infertile gossip-magazine reader.


In addition to this amazing cover, the top five headlines on all of Us Weekly yesterday were:
1. Snooki: Yes, I'm Pregnant and Engaged!
2. Whoa! Pregnant Jessica Simpson Poses Nude, Says She's Having Girl
3. Vanessa Minnillo Is Pregnant -- See Her Bump!
4. Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and More Nude, Pregnant Celebs!
5. Who Looks Better Nude and Pregnant: Jessica Simpson or Demi Moore?

But wait! There's more! On the same page, you can also see these headlines:
Bethenny Frankel: Doing Lunch with Bryn
Bruce Willis, Pregnant Wife Step Out After Demi Moore Leaves Rehab
Kourtney Kardashian Squeezes Her Baby Bump Into Tight Red Jeans
FIRST PIC: Jennifer Garner Goes for Drive After Giving Birth

The craziest thing about all of this is, of course, that if I only had a camera to take some "nude and pregnant" photos of myself I would totally blow both Demi Moore and Jessica Simpson right out of the water. I mean, do they have the kind of Lovenox bruises I have? I didn't think so. And Snooks, I'm so so happy for you, but you might want to invest in a new bra now that your cup size has gone up. It'll be way more comfortable, I swear!

But seriously folks... I remember having a conversation with friends a long time ago about celebrity babies and how interesting it would be to see which celebrities would be due at the same time as us when, at some point in the far-away future, we got pregnant. I'm thinking that it's still a bit early for me to declare that Snooki and Vanessa Minnillo Lachey are my celebrity pregnancy BFFs, since they're probably past the first trimester and I am decidedly not. Celebrities who are currently puking their guts out and waiting until mid-April to announce that they're "over the moon" at their exciting news, I am looking at you! (And if I'm perfectly honest, I have my fingers crossed that one such announcement will come from Kate Middleton. Nobody deserves to struggle with infertility, but man, if there's one person for whom it would be a painful public experience, it's the Duchess of Cambridge. Also I can't wait to see her maternity style!)

  2. I loved your post...it was so light-hearted and fun! Maybe we'll be pregnant with the Duchess, that would be pretty cool! I saw my RE on Wednesday, exactly 6 weeks after my egg retrieval and they said that I was 8 weeks exactly. It's funny how different groups date things differently. I know what you mean about anxiously awaiting the turnover to the next week. How are you feeling? I hope all is well and I'll be keeping up with People and US to see who will be joining us on this journey!!
