Medical School Is So Overrated

OK! has written an entire article based on this photograph.  Like me, they totally diagnose celebrities as pregnant based solely on pictures.  Ultrasounds are, like, so unnecessary nowadays.  It’s clear Katie Holmes is pregnant based on the fact that Tom Cruise has his hand on her stomach.  I made a similar prediction a couple weeks ago based on Nicole Richie looking jubilant and announcement making-ish.

Actually, the hand on stomach is a Hollywood thing.  When I was pregnant, my husband wasn’t even allowed to make eye contact with me.  Or sleep in bed with me.  Or know where I was living.

As I sign off for the day, a personal yet somewhat related note:  Nine years ago today, my life forever changed.  I experienced the joy of giving birth to my first son.  If you have a soft spot for hyper-intelligent nine-year-olds, I’d love it if you’d post a “Happy Birthday” to him on my blog (Beet was nice enough to link in sidebar).  He already thinks he’s a celebrity after your comments on the Grandpa Sam video.  Seriously, he recently presented me with a rider chock-full of lunch box requirements.

    Happy Birthday! And be nice to your mom, just because you’re nine years old doesn’t mean that you don’t need to be tucked in, read to, hugged, kissed, tickled, nagged, etc. You know you like it, so don’t pretend that you don’t and even if someday you really don’t, just pretend that you do so your mom always feels like she’s needed. (I’m obviously a mom of a boy your age.)

    Oh, it looks that way. When a woman’s hands hover around her belly it’s usually a sign.

    She always seems to smile with her mouth closed nowadays. She used to be all toothy and cute. Now she looks about two seconds away from a grimace.

    Happy Birthday, big guy! And remember: your mother brought you into this world, and she can and will take you out of it again if need be. :)
