Prego Army?

You know how when you get a new car or someone you know gets one or even when you see a car you’ve never seen before and now know what it is and then all of a sudden, you see that car everywhere?  It’s like all of a sudden everyone went out and bought that exact car.  And they really weren’t there before.  Nobody had one.  They didn’t even exist. 

That happened to me in the mountains with Subaru Outbacks.  I am not sure I had ever seen one before we moved there, but on my first day of work, I saw that my boss had one.  Then, like magic, they were everywhere.  EVERYWHERE.  As if nobody in that town was allowed to have any other car.     

Anyway, I think that this same phenomenon happens with seeing pregnant women.  I am sure I have never seen as many pregnant women as I do these days.  I guess it has to do with selfishness and self-absorption, right?  You don’t notice things until they happen to you?  But still.  Seriously?  There can’t be THAT many more pregnant women now than there have been in the past.  Surely not.  It’s like we have invaded the earth as a swollen-bellied army ready to procreate and conquer.  Scary.
