now there is definitely a bit of variation from mother to mother but basically, if she is preg-o now, she wasn't on election night...
most mommies don't show a baby bump before their baby is at 3 or 4 months gestational age. that would mean michelle would have been 3 months preg-o election night.
that would put her unborn one at 5 months gestational age on inauguration night, at which point she would most likely been showing a large bump and would NOT have been able to fit into that ridiculous white dress she wore for the ball.
@vamusical: Totally, I was born with some crazy defect that makes my stomach slightly convex or maybe flat(ish) on a good day. It's been hard to overcome but I've managed to live a normal life.
Also: if having a drink or two (and no more) once in a while during pregnancy resulted in massive birth defects, I would not be here and neither would a whole lot of people conceived in the 60s and 70s. This PC thing has gotten ridiculous. FAS is serious stuff, but not to be confused with imbibing alcohol while pregnant. Isn't being pregnant reason enough to have a G&T?
@nirreskeya: @whiz wit: Good for you whiz wit . It apparently takes some courage to post that you touched alcohol or caffeine while pregnant. The nazis will apparently come out and accuse you of inflicting FAS on your children, as, it seems, LilyBartleby did to my mother. I'm sure your children are perfectly healthy. I am too, Lily!
@LilyBartleby: Right back at you, Ms. Bartleby. I still have no idea what you meant by your comment. Are you some sort of Jezzie star commentor I have not heard of?
Oh dear. The first thing I typed to a friend (after exchanges of glee) was that that horrible black and red dress made Michelle look pregnant. Then I added that the red splotch downstairs looked like a merkin gone mad.

Then she beams at me: So, when are you due?

most men including myself are afraid to ask a woman if she is pregnant until she is in like the 8th month
we all remember getting it wrong at least one and being mortified
i slipped up recently when i asked a woman in my building how soon she was having her baby and she already had it a month earlier!

As a rule, gentlemen should not even mention the possibility of pregnancy, until the twelvth month. Unless you want to get your heads bitten off and spit out.
