how to wear pregnancy

When you're pregnant, you spend a lot of time comparing your pregnancy to other famous people who are pregnant at the same time. The first time around, I was lucky enough to have Britney Spears as my celebrity doppleganger, which set the bar pretty low. All I needed to do was to keep my footwear on in public restrooms, and I would come out on top.

This time, I get Angelina Jolie, which is so not fair. She embodies the ideal of (very!) fecund womanhood. Radiant, fashionable, the entire package. It's especially hard when you're feeling not so radiant, nor so fashionable.

To make matters worse, I got perhaps the world's worst haircut today. I went in for a trim, and came out with (no kidding) a three-inch CHUNK out of my hair in the name of layers. In order to get it evened out, I ended up looking not at all like Angelina, but more like the Pregnant Man you've all seen on Oprah. I seriously could have killed that inept "stylist." It's one thing to have a horrible, awful, very bad haircut on a normal day. It's quite another to have another 10 pounds on you and the CRAPPIEST haircut known to man. I might even have a little bit of a mullet in the back.

Somehow, I think Britney would understand. Not Ange.
