Which is why it&#39;s fun looking at <a href="http://todayspictures.slate.com/20080701/">Slate&#39;s great slideshow featuring pregnant</a> women around the world in the past 60 years. &nbsp;</p><p>This also reminds me that there are, like, zero pictures of my mom when she was pregnant with me or my sister.
