All of hollywood being baby crazed is super fucking annoying.
Even as an if-survivor (if i can even claim that) it bothers the piss out of me.
I don't care who has the cutest baby bump.
I don't care who has the best post baby body.
I don't care whose baby is turning 1.
I don't care whose kid has the cutest hair do. Or shoes. Or toys. Or outfits.
I like my hollywood gossip. I'll admit it. But in my latest issue, 13 of the first 30 pages had ~something~ about babies. Or pregnancy.
Can the public really be intersted THAT much in it? Seriously?
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me

- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

SO annoying! It's why I refuse to buy into any of it anymore.
Well, I'm not fond of the current trend, but it's slightly better than the heroin chic phase. It is rather...cloying.
The bump thing really annoys me!
I miss me some Nancy snark! Hope your vaca is mega relaxing!
I used to love going to my RE's because they had people magazines in the waiting room. They no longer have them because of all the baby crap in them. Apparently it was upsetting to people.
tell me about it! gah!
I couldn't agree more!!
Although, I am a sucker for Hollywood gossip...I could really give to shits about all the baby bumps out there.
Agreed.
Another personal un-favorite of mine is who in Hollywood has the dumbest baby name? Not that the magazines would admit that...
When a celebrity is pregnant, they behave as if they are the only women to ever have been pregnant.
and the obsession with "baby bumps" (which is a term I HATE) is beyond annoying.

lol, the one that struck me as the weirdest was the poll one magazine took to see who's celebrity child you'd most want to babysit? Seriously?! (in case you just have to know...it was Ben Affleck & Jennifer Gardner's daughter)
Preach it sister!
I'm with ya'. Stupid annoying. And hardly any of them will own up to IF treatments when you KNOW they had to have had them. *ahem* all you over 40 women having twins!
preach on, sister!
am sooo sick of hearing about it. & seeing all the hollywood twin moms "getting their bodies back" makes me want to puke. maybe if i had a 24/7 make-up artist & around the clock help i could be a size zero again & watch my stretch marks magically fade away. no, i'm not bitter....
:P
