Update on various pop cultural impressions. (I'm still encountering incidences of pregitude with alarming regularity.)

I recently read The Know It All. It seemed to my pregnancy hormoned brain that the B (or C) story about the author and his wife trying to conceive was almost more important than his titular quest to actually read the damn encyclopedia. I was inordinately happy for them when they succeeded. Incidentally, it was a great book; read like a blog.

During a viewing of The Incredibles I found myself spending a little too much time thinking about Elastigirl. Specifically, how being elastic would affect her three pregnancies. And if her fetuses would be elastic while in the womb. Really, it was like Jason Lee's character in Mallrats obsessing over superhero genitalia.

While watching the last few episodes of Farscape via Netflix I kept feeling quite uncomfortable with the whole Aeryn-being tortured-for-her-fetus'-knowledge story arc. The imagery during her incarceration was harsh, yes, but I have to wonder if it would have affected me the same way had I not also been pregnant at the time.

During the last half of this season of Stargate SG-1 I spent almost as much time looking for evidence of Amanda Tapping's pregnancy as I did paying attention to the storyline. At first it was just an increase in the size of her rack. But those last few episodes, no matter what they had Sam wearing, it was plain there was a pregnancy under there. She never did get the rounded face like Rebecca Riggs did while playing Grayza in Peacekeeper Wars. I wonder how Amanda's absence for maternity leave will be explained in season 9.

Oh and Caprica!Boomer is pregnant. It'll be interesting to see how that one develops.
