Anchoring While Pregnant
10.25.2011 For the dear friends I've moved far away from, the family that doesn't live in our news market, and the viewers who don't get Comcast 186: a short compilation from last week when I filled in for Brent last week on the 7PM newscast. First dress is a Destination Maternity number I got for about 30 bucks and the second is a dress Janelle Wang loaned to me.
The belly: all mine. What's crazy is that all these other women who are pregnant and due before me, or right at the same time, are TOTALLY SMALLER. It's ridiculous. I have a producer who likes to say, "Yep, you're definitely pregnant" every time I walk by. Yes, he's a guy. And then there's the photographer who was so amazed by my belly, because his sister-in-law is also due in February and "She's not even showing at all!" And then there's the friend who is due Valentine's day who said, "I saw you on the news. You ARE a lot bigger than I am and yet our due date is the same week."
Seriously people, never comment on a pregnant woman's belly size. She will smile and then stick a pin in your voodoo doll later.

uh, do the other fathers know that your hubby is 6'6"? just based on your tummy size and the good doctor's height that i'd say you're definitely carrying a frank n beans. and he's going to be 3'3" when he's born!
OK, I get it. I will NOT comment on your beautiful shape. I will, however, comment on your terrific choice of clothing and hair/makeup. The strong solid colors work for you and your entire look is classic. (Classic, by the way, is very good) Since I cannot comment on your shape it means I cannot tell you that I think you are one of the prettiest pregnant women I've seen on a news set in a very long time.
U R so pretty, pregnant lady.
Could you be having twins? (If yes, I should like the spare, please.)
Connie: That makes me laugh. And cry.
NFGM: I love your non-comment comment. Classic indeed.
Tokenblogger: I had a dream I was having twins. But no, all signs point to just one Babius in there :)
