bizarre

As I logged into my aol account the other day I noticed an article about pregnancy being "hip". Ugh. I couldn't bear to actually read the article, but the caption for it mentioned how all the current celebrity pregnancies are making becoming pregnant increasingly more hip. What? Yes, let me gain 20-30 pounds in 9 months, wake up at 4am to pee, have the uncontrollable urge to eat a whole container of hummus, and be a mushy gushy ball of sentimental goo. Sure, hip. That's the right word for it. All the cool kids are doing it, so it must be hip! Yet another reason reading celebrity oriented magazines and websites usually annoys me. They are packed with stupid. Don't get me wrong, I love this whole pregnant thing. It's quite amazing. Even my over-sized clothing is kinda cute. BUT, if one would use the word "hip" in defining the modern day preggo, I'd say the everywoman made pregnancy "hip" way before angelina jolie and brad pitt decided to spawn. I guess no one notices trends until famous people APPEAR to start them. what a shame.
