it's not easy being green

It's tough being pregnant while some of the finest babes of Hollywood, like Carrie Underwood and (allegedly) Jessica Biel, head up the club. Blake Lively looked like a baby-goddess-queen in her last few months leading up to the recent birth of her daughter, meanwhile I am slowly taking the shape of one giant potato. However, there's something bonding about following closely behind the steps of a royal. Especially one who has had a not so magical experience. Poor Kate, bed-ridden with hyperemesis and dehydration. If there's one thing I'll remember about these pregnant days, it will be how many people have told me in response to my battle with severely above-average nausea and vomiting (still on-going deep into my second trimester), "You're like Princess Kate!" I'll take it. Here's to us, Kate Middleton of Cambridge- sisters bonded through our mutual attachment to the porcelain express.

And one of Princess Diana while pregnant with Prince William. Man, the 80's were a rough time to be a pregnant. Thanks, mom, for sticking it out and making it through.
