No You’re Not
We’re pregnant? WE ARE pregnant?? No, that is sooo wrong. I know that saying “we’re pregnant” is very acceptable and popular these days, but it really is wrong. And this pregnancy announcement proves it well. As a mom, I’ve been through a couple of pregnancies, and I must say it was just me. Parenting is a joint endeavor, as is getting pregnant, but being pregnant is a one-woman job all the way.
Nausea and throwing up (all day long, don’t know why they call it morning sickness), itchy skin, gas and bloating, bleeding gums, yeast infections, swollen ankles, running to the bathroom every two minutes, moodiness – my partner didn’t get any of those. It was all me. This photo is actually a funny way of illustrating the irony in the saying “we’re pregnant”, but if I were that pregnant woman vomiting in the background, I wouldn’t be laughing right about now. I might have laughed in the future – but given the state she’s in right now, it really is too soon.
