I am not sure if it’s the new trend, an epidemic or if I am just overly sensitive and aware of pregnant women lately, but I swear everywhere I turn and everywhere I go there they are – in the mall, the coffee shops, home improvement stores, movie theatres, book stores, the tampon aisle at the grocery store…No matter how hard I try to avoid the baby-danger zones I cannot escape these belly rubbing-overly giddy-glowing pregnant women and their tummies. Even in the safety of my own home when I check my email or the mailbox, read a magazine or watch T.V. there they always are taunting the irrational infertile chick much like the stack of money I could have saved if I used Geico – I always feel like they are watching me. It’s like these women are in an exclusive society and for the past two years my membership applications keep getting denied.
When I see them I cannot help but wonder if they needed fertility treatment or if they have no idea how the reproductive system works, if they are married or accidentally got knocked up (as I nonchalantly check for a ring) and try desperately to push any bit of jealousy out of my brain along with the image of the perfectly pregnant woman. So until it is my turn... I will enjoy my double shot mocha latte, sushi lunches, cocktails with dinner and hot tubs – take that pregnant women!
When life gives you lemons - make a margarita and call it a party!

omg! I totally agree with you! I SWEAR that there are more pregnant people right now and that it isn't all because I am overly sensitive. I think that people can't afford to go out as much...so they stay in and have a lot of sex :) If only it were that easy for everyone! I can't wait to see what the birth stats are for this year!
