Are you in your child bearing years? Are you in the public eye? Did you have a big dinner? If you answered yes to any or all of those, then odds are someone, somewhere on a blog, or tabloid, or on the street will make the claim that you are knocked up.
New rumors are swirling around and growing not unlike a thriving embryo, courtesy of a post on PerezHilton.com. The rumor? That our first lady could be preggers. According to Perez the reports are “completely unconfirmed and at this point just a "rumor"”.
These rumors have been circulating for months that 45-year-old Michelle Obama is pregnant. Is it her choice of the stomach enhancing “black widow” dress she wore on election night? Is it that our culture has become so baby obsessed that we just want to imagine a new celebrity baby to coo over? Or is it that we just haven’t had a good old fashioned ‘Baby Bump Watch’ in a while?
If by some odd chance it’s true, the timing wouldn’t be the best. Those Obamas, they have a whole lot going on; new jobs, new home, new schools…running a country. Me thinks a new baby would be a wee bit stressful right about now. Plus a new puppy is on the way! You never want to get a puppy and a baby at the same time. But if it is true, this baby would be the first in over 100 years to be born in the White House, the last being Grover Cleaveland's daughter in 1893.
Regardless, a little harmless gossip is a fun little distraction these days. Now you won’t be able to look at Michelle Obama without checking out her belly. Sorry about that.
