Pregnant with meaning

There are a lot of pregnant women in my life.

Comment Rachel Jones

This is bad news, inasmuch as before there are babies, there are almost inevitably baby showers (*shudder*). But this is good news, because the announcement of a pregnancy provides a source of conversational fodder that rivals the weather in terms of mileage: baby names. This can be discussed endlessly both with the parents-to-be and – even more fun, to be honest – without them.
